Mizuki Aida Solo Exhibition vol.3 - Looking for Mazaa Gusu

The lingering echoes of a sweet nightmare seen on a childhood day.
　Mizuki Aida's creations bring a sense of nostalgia, a hint of freshness, or an unfathomable darkness to the listener. Aida explains her creations in three words. Sentiment," or the outpouring of unfathomable human emotions. Earthly customs," or primordial impulses of life. Encounter" is the sublimation of the encounter and entanglement of various cultures. He has been actively showing his new works not only in Japan but also in other countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Lithuania, and has received a great deal of positive feedback.
　The theme of the first part of the exhibition, "Language Etude," uses the differences between languages of the world to explore the mysterious coziness that lies within the incongruity of language. The second part, "Kitahara Hakushu's Mazaa Gusu," is a "work-in-progress" musical piece that he has continued to compose since last year. The addition of a new tenor, clarinet, and contrabass will further clarify the reality of the story, and is expected to bring to the surface the sweet nightmare of Mazaa Gusu that Kitahara Hakushu dreamed of.
