【New Release Announcement】
Kyoto Arts and Culture Exchange Chamber (KACE) is pleased to announce the upcoming digital release of
“ECHOES OF COLORS,” a solo piano album by Vice Director Seiya Matsush*ta, on April 24, 2026.
This album is a collection of entirely original ballad compositions inspired by traditional Japanese colors.
Each piece explores the unique atmosphere, stillness, and resonance associated with colors such as purple, matcha green, asagi blue, turmeric yellow, navy, fresh green, and amber.
Recorded on August 8, 2025 at Studio Happiness, the album also includes
“Improvisation: Nishijin Meditation (Navy),” a work originally created for a meditation space at Nishijin Mosaic in Kyoto, serving as a central piece of the album.
The cover artwork features haku-baku artisan Masaru Matsui, expressing the sonic world through traditional Japanese craft.
Through this work, we aim to present a new intersection between Japanese color aesthetics and musical expression.
