Program notes:
I had the opportunity to perform alongside Hibiki Sato at a concert. His rich, lustrous tone captivated me instantly, and I became an immediate fan. Years passed as I harbored the hope of one day performing with such a magnificent musician, and thanks to an introduction from Kanna Taniguchi, I finally met him. It was a deeply moving encounter, and I am overjoyed - feeling as though I were floating on air - to have been granted the immense honor of having his perform a piece of my own composition. I composed the work in a single burst of inspiration, envisioning music that would draw out the cello's full potential while engaging in a dialogue with the vibraphone; I studied scores by various composers, revisited Kenji Miyazawa’s *Gauche the Cellist*, and sought to weave the "music of Kyoto" - an essence that flows naturally from Hibiki, a native of the city - into the piece. True to its title, *Fu-Rai-Bou* unfolds in three sections: "Wind" "Coming" and "Kid." I wanted to depict a state of constant energy release, never settling in one place. I dedicate this work to Hibiki Sato.
