2pm from Silent Landscapes by Mizuki Ishikawa

English:

Shizukanaru Keshikitachi (Silent Landscapes)

The Japanese have long sought beauty in the transience of seasons and the flow of time, recognizing beauty in the providence of things that never last. Impermanence is beautiful.
Smell, wind, taste, color, sound.

We feel the delicate expressions of each season through our five senses.
Each of the six tracks represents Japan's four seasons. Every track has its own season.
The album begins on a spring morning and ends on a winter night.

1. Digital Spring...9 AM. Waking up in the spring morning with the songs of birds. The wind is refreshing and delicious.

2. 2 pm...A summer day. Cicadas singing resonates. Wet. Water.

3. Akeiro...An autumn afternoon. The setting sun is falling slowly. It's a little cold. Quiet. Time to go home. A whiff of dinner in the air.

4. 11 pm...Long night. Alone.

5. The best before the end of...12 PM. Diving into the deep sea of thoughts. Blue.

6. 。...A winter night. Silence. Gray. Only snow falls and piles up.

Japanese
「静かなる景色たち」
ゆっくりと、しかし確実に変わりゆく季節。日本人は昔から、季節それぞれがもつ繊細な表情
に意識を向けてきた。永遠にあり続けるものなどは存在しないという物事の摂理をあるがまま
に受け入れ、それを美として捉える。そこには、自然に対する深い畏敬の念が込められてい
る。
匂い、風、味、色、音。
そういった季節それぞれがもつ表情を、私たちは五感を通じて感じる。

1. Digital Spring...朝9時。鳥の声で目覚める。風は清々しくて、美味しい。

2. 2pm...昼2時。夏の昼間。蝉が歌う、共鳴する。湿りけ。水。

3. Akeiro...秋の夕暮れ。ゆらゆらと夕日が落ちてゆく。少しだけ寒い。静か。帰宅時間。ご飯の匂い。

4. 11pm...夜11時。長い夜。ひとり。

5. The best before the end of...夜12時。考え事をする。思想の海。

6. 。...冬の夜。しんしんと静か。灰色。ただ雪がそこに降り積もる。
