midoriyama in fall


Hey!
It's Nate again. I'm glad to say that I finally got your cds. I just listened to them today, and found that it's the type of music I can listen to in the dark. My favorite songs were Oil Tower, Bookstore Moon, and Lost in Museum. They were simply stunning. Thank you for writing music filled with nostalgia and beauty. And please keep making music. It gives us all hope. Thanks!
Nate

Thanx steven!

Wow! You spoke for my music. I was excited!
Your message were a great encouragement to me.

thanx again.

peace!

Your music is absolutely beautiful.
It's only one instrument but I feel it as though it were an orchestra.
Very powerful, minimalism music.
Keep making music as an artform, please!
Mono and Midoriyama need to tour North America!

Hi Micael

any distortion? tremolo!? what a good question!
my answer is ''NO'' Because I don't have those effectors...ha ha
but the new sound is changing a little now, I will respound to the change of my image. It will be dryer than before.

thanx Sam

Wow! I like ''Grandma's Song'' too.
That sounds(noise?) was recorded by producer Taka's idea. We took it through a open studio's window. the field surrounding sounds and my guitar are in harmony...

thanx again!
peace!

Hey Midoriyama

Thanks a lot for the response! It's good to see that you take the time to read these :)
There was something else i wanted to ask you about - On some of the songs from Candle City (like Grandma's Song) I can hear what sounds like natural movement in the background - like people walking by in a street or cars driving past. Is this sampled or is it to do with the location you recorded the songs in?
Thanks again and hear from you soon!

Sam

Any distortion or tremolo on the new album?

by Micael | 13.08.06-01:48

Hey there. I'm from England, i've only discovered your music recently but i absolutely love it. Somehow, the feeling of nostalgia translates beautifully into the music in a way i've not heard before. Thanks a lot for the inspiration! Hopefully you will have the opportunity to tour here sometime, it would be excellent to see you on tour with Mono! Is there plans for a new album soon? Regards!

by Sam | 23.07.06-18:01


hi nate.
I'm sorry there is the only two way now... of course, I wish you get my music more easily...sorry

your message have encouraged me!
thanx & peace!

by midoriyama | 04.07.06-02:58


I'm a new fan of your music and I'd like to ask if there's any other way to buy your music besides the bank fund transfer or IMPO methods. Is there any other way? PLEASE! Your music's amazing, but I can't buy it by those methods.
Thanks for listening

Wow! I'm glad. Hang in there! so I'm looking forward to getting your impression of my music. thanx peace!

by midoriyama | 27.09.05-04:22


hey, midoriyama remember me? i wanted to buy your CD, but i had no job. Well now I have a job and i will be buying it in a week or so, I can't wait to get it, thanks, bye

by zach | 26.09.05-04:43


Thanx frederic!

I'm so happy to get your sincere words. Yes, I love starry night. so that had a effect on my mind too.

and I pride myself on my country's culture.Naturally I composed some songs under the influence of japanese season and literature and more. Of couse, I like kitano's movie too. I think he's works is punk! ha ha.

OK I hope the night sky which you look up it always beautiful .
peace!

by midoriyama | 26.09.05-03:20


hello green mountain man ;-) !

how are you ?

it's great to hear about your astronomy job. my dad is very fond of astronomy as well and i enjoy so much looking at the sky by myself. i trained myself and i can recognize many constellations. it's great to be able to "read" a starry sky and to see things that some people don't see, don't you think so ? can you find the ryu, can't you ? i can see lots of them and the lyra looks a bit like a blue telecaster ;-)... wow, i just wonder how it would sound - MIDORIYAMA's guitar in my headphones + me, lying on the ground, my eyes in the everlasting eyes of the universe... i should try this next summer. i will find a peaceful place, with no city lights (if it's possible)...

some place somewhere...

ok, basically i would like to say that yesterday evening i finally saw DOLLS by takeshi kitano... i cried. this movie is the most beautiful japanese movie i've ever seen until now. taka told me it was the best kitano's film, according to him. i really wanted to see it ; i am still overwhelmed. all the colours. the seasons. the landscapes, the costumes, the stories, the emotions, ... everyone who's fascinated by japan, life, love and death, should see this brilliant movie. it's a great source of inspiration for me. and i could even say that the movie told me a lot about myself and my permanent feelings about japan... now i understand better why i like so much japanese literature, movies, japanime and music !!!... it's because of so much things... like nostalgy. i'm very nostalgic. i love MONO so much. and i like MIDORIYAMA a lot as well. i find something in your music which is like the 4 seasons. a circle. something pure and eternal.

... sorry, maybe what i wrote sounds like bullshit. but to me, it's not. life is not far from bunraku, i guess...

cheers from switzerland,
hope you're doing fine.
hope to meet you someday.

take care !
ogenkide !

The compilation album "The Mixing Landscape" is released on October 19th by human highway records ( Mono's label).

"Sad-Eyes Bird" and "Empty Station" , which have already released, are included on this album. These were mastered and finished beautifully by John Golden, worked on my many favorite albums.

You can enjoy both songs different from my originals.
Don't miss it!
