Shuta Hasunuma

Shuta Hasunuma

Shuta Hasunuma has been played on NTS over 10 times, featured on 14 episodes and was first played on 16 April 2018.

Much like the bamboo plants that dominate Japan’s landscape, Shuta Hasunuma (蓮沼執太)’s piano work on his new album OK Bamboo has an enduring, simple elegance. OK Bamboo’s title and compositions are the result of Hasunuma’s interest in the ancient relationship between Japan and bamboo. As he explains, “In Japan, bamboo is revered as a plant sharing properties of both wood and grass. It also has an enduring and remarkable strength. After bombings in times of war, when all of the people are killed and the buildings destroyed, often the bamboo plants are all that’s left standing.”

Each track flits and twitters, growing and changing without warning. The result is a collection of enchantingly beautiful compositions full of meticulous details. This perfectly executed collage of digital and organic sounds immediately feels familiar and intimate, as it demands your attention.
