Consequently, he expanded his repertoire through his own original compositions, arrangements, and improvisations, ultimately completing this album. Centered around the approximately 24-minute \"The Gates of Phrygia,\" he arranged various short pieces—from his own compositions to traditional music, and even works by Radiohead and Björk—before and after it. Furthermore, he processed the sound of the piano he played using digital delays and reverbs, as well as delays employing analog tape. In some pieces, he also utilized internal techniques, expanding the piano's tonal palette without using synthesizers.Furthermore, many of the shorter pieces utilize Klavins' vertical piano, featuring a massive soundboard and bass strings extending over 4 meters (the photo shows the M470 model installed in a Latvian hall, not the M450 used for recording). Its clear resonance and overwhelming volume allow you to enjoy a sound described as a \"sound bath.\" This is a truly beautiful album, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the boundless world of Romanjuk. ※Japanese liner notes for domestic release: Takayuki Komuro, Naxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52291586425121,"sku":"4589538829162","price":850.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538829162.jpg?v=1770059259","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-tw\/products\/4589538829162","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
