After returning to Japan, she launched a recital series in 1975, which from 1979 onward was branded \"PIANO HORIZON.\" Through this series she commissioned and premiered works by contemporary composers including Yori-aki Matsudaira, Mamoru Fujieda, Hirokazu Hiraishi, Akira Nishimura, Norio Fukushi, and Joji Yuasa. She was a champion of the contemporary music scene through numerous appearances — on NHK-FM, with the Japan Federation of Composers, the Composers' Conference, the Shinshinkai, Seibu Studio 200, the \"Yoritsune Matsudaira Concert of Works\" series, and \"Akemi Satomi Plays Hiroichi Hiraishi,\" among others. She passed away in September 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release marks the first CD reissue of the now hard-to-find 1981 LP. Matsudaira's Elixatone is a multitrack recording for three electric pianos (plus clavinet), each tuned a third of a tone apart from the others. Paired with two prepared-piano works by Fujieda, the album offers three distinct takes on minimalist structure and timbral unfolding. In Matsudaira's Celebration, likewise, ten modally organized textures shift through serial procedures with breathless momentum. A crystalline articulation and drive suffuse every corner of the performance, and the presence that emerges still feels remarkably fresh today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2026 Reissue Edition: DSD Remaster from the 1981 LP. \u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e(Noise from the original LP is present.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYori-aki MATSUDAIRA\u003c\/strong\u003e (1931～2023)\u003cbr\u003e[1]　 ERIXATONE(1979)\u003cbr\u003e[2]　 CELEBRATION(1980)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMamoru FUJIEDA\u003c\/strong\u003e (1955～)\u003cbr\u003e[3]　 FALLING SCALE No.6 for prepared piano(1980)\u003cbr\u003e[4]　SINGLE-LEVEL DIFFRACTION I (1979)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAkemi SATOMI\u003c\/strong\u003e, piano\/keyboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally Released in 1981\u003cbr\u003eLP \"PIANO HORIZON\" \/ ALM RECORDS, AL-24\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Yukio KOJIMA\u003cbr\u003eCover Art by Makoto SUGIYAMA, Designed by DOCS\u003cbr\u003eLayout by Tomoji SÉMBA\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Thanks to TOSHIBA Isogo Studios \u0026amp;amp; Mr. Hiroshi WATANABE\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Dec. 1980 at TOSHIBA Isogo Studios\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDSD Remaster from the 1981 LP\u003cbr\u003eRemastered by Yukio KOJIMA\u003cbr\u003eBooklet Editing \u0026amp;amp; Layout Adaptation by Kensuke FUJII\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALM RECORDS \/ コジマ録音","offers":[{"title":"CD + Lossless WAV (44.1kHz 16bit)","offer_id":52736296124699,"sku":"ALM-24","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"Lossless WAV (44.1kHz 16bit)","offer_id":52736296157467,"sku":"ALM-24-WAV44k16b","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hi-Res FLAC (96kHz 24bit)","offer_id":52736296190235,"sku":"ALM-24-FLAC96k24b","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/7862\/6843\/files\/ALM24_6ed1ca43-4a07-4b5c-a988-2a7cc1e7e19b.jpg?v=1785919117","url":"https:\/\/kojimarokuon.com\/en\/products\/alm-24","provider":"ALM RECORDS \/ コジマ録音","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
