CMU Approved
Approved: Marika Takeuchi
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 27 June 2018
The latest signing to the Bigo & Twigetti label, composer and pianist Marika Takeuchi is set to release her latest album, ‘Melding’, on 19 Jul. Out now is the record’s first single, ‘Found’, plus a rework of the same track by label boss Jim Perkins.
Classically trained in both Japan and the US, as well the three albums she has already released to date, Takeuchi has also composed music for TV and a number of short films. Her interest in the connection between music and images is apparent on ‘Found’, a solo piano piece that conjures up numerous visuals through its shifting melodies and rhythms.
