Sounds Like: a symbiosis, pure tones of a childs heart, tokyo in the day, a philharmonic room, a micro orchistra, a kiss, a peice of heaven, a love story, a living string, somewhere between adam and eve, serenading sounds, a superb radio-phonograph-tape-recorder combination, romantic nostalgia , a small living room, a motel, a laundromat, high fidelity, the sea, an island, distillation of place and mood, climactic melodies, an old chaple organ, a motion picture, a sad hula girl, music for the quiet hour, mathematically felt pianos, a glass xylophone under water, a gamut of gentle mystery to a joyous explosion of crescendos, a russian folk song, a quality of simple and direct communication, a silent joy, the sufferings and loves of common people, a sharp tongue and brilliant peace of mind...
