Umasô

Welcome to the channel of Umasô, our new duet playing music from Joe Hisaishi and studio Ghibli.

The Sixth station is the train stop Chihiro has to go to in Hayao Miyazaki's beautiful animation movie, Spirited Away. It is one of the most poetic moment of the movie depicting a train passing through a sea without waves at sunset. I have always been a big fan of the movies from Hayao Miyazaki and especially the music from Joe Hisaishi.

In this channel, you will find promotional videos for Umasô but also videos of me playing the piano solo. This projet aims at paying hommage to the extraordinary composer Hisaishi by playing versions very close to the original but with my personal piano touch. I hope you will enjoy this music and wish you a pleasant hearing.

All the music you hear for piano solo has been recorded by me on my Yamaha NU1. Live music with Umasô was recorded on a Bechstein grand piano.
