Dancing Spirits

The piano solo album by Japanese musician Naoko Sakata entitled Dancing Spirits on Pomperipossa Records. Dancing Spirits was recorded during two days at Annedalskyrkan, a church in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. The album was recorded and produced by Filip Leyman and consists of seven improvisations, played by Naoko Sakata and performed on a Steinway grand piano. They represent the most authentic expression of the artist's musicality and her incomparable creative talent. The music you will hear on this album has not been written previously, but it is the daughter of the moment and therefore unrepeatable, pure improvisation. In addition to the artist's freedom of expression, there is nothing else. Dancing Spirits is not a canonical listening and is almost impossible to classify into a genre or a category. Rather, it is the result of an experimental approach to music, where every single note follows the previous one without a determined principle other than that of absolute freedom. In Dancing Spirits Naoko Sakata shows an aspect of musical experimentation that takes this definition to its most extreme limits. It is an artistic achievement that joins the world of natural phenomena because it is unregulated in its manifestations, impetuous in its pace, incomprehensible in its laws, faithful and coherent only to one thing: its existence.
