Fumio Yasuda - on the path of death and life
Review by Yannis Koukakis
On the Path of Death and Life, the latest album by Fumio Yasuda, is a mesmerizing musical journey that takes the listener through a range of emotions and experiences. The album is a fusion of traditional Japanese music and modern electronic sounds, bringing together the old and the new in a unique and captivating way.
The album starts off with the track "Samsara," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The haunting vocals and the subtle electronic beats create a sense of mystery and intrigue, drawing the listener in. The album then moves on to "Kokoro," a beautiful and melancholic piece that showcases Yasuda's skillful use of traditional Japanese instruments such as the koto and the shakuhachi.
As the album progresses, the listener is taken on a journey through different moods and emotions. Tracks like "Shinju" and "Kintsugi" are uplifting and energetic, while "Higan" and "Yugen" are introspective and contemplative. The album ends with "Nirvana," a fitting conclusion to a musical journey that explores the themes of life and death.
