Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words.
I started studying music theory, piano and composition around a month ago. First thing I went for was specifically japanese music theory, and jazz is omnipresent in modern japanese music all around.
Hisaishi's work is full of specific theory with open voicings & colour tones that you can find in contemporary jazz.
So I'm stocked that I got to apply all I learned this past month and that it communicated the theme and emotions that are close to me (Impermanence) while being related to such an incredible composer.
Thank you!
