A Turquoise Mirror - A River 04:07
lyrics
A Turquoise Mirror - A River by Ayuo As we ascend in space Her eyes shone deep as love Across the river of light Now we are drifting Embraced in living light A steam of colors blooming So clear and vast it flows A wave of starlight Sparkling from the stream Now I look in your eyes A flashing ray of sun Of pure and endless light Beyond all night and day Dancing in joyous light Reality is what we make So clear and vast it flows A wave of starlight Sparkling from the stream ------- 私たちは宇宙を旅している 彼女の瞳は愛のように深く輝き 光の川を渡って 今、私たちは漂っている 生きた光に抱かれて 色とりどりに咲き乱れる河 透明で広大な流れ 星の光の波が 流れからきらめく 今 あなたの瞳に映る 輝く太陽の光 純粋で果てしない光 夜も昼も越えて 喜びの光の中で踊っている 私たちのつくる現実 澄み渡る広大な流れ 星の光の波が 流れからきらめく from Beyond Progressive Rock, released December 14, 2022

The Night of My Darkness 03:27
lyrics
The Night Of My Darkness Outside the wind blows wildly While our visions build up castles Our hearts joined in every moment Be the night of my darkness Your songs live in my shadow Whisper stories in my ear Playing in gardens of our minds Weaving patterns of a tale Passing days in a dream Creating games in our minds Love binds us like a light 戸外で風が吹き荒られる 僕らの空想はお城を築き 心は瞬間の中で重なりあう 僕の暗闇の夜になって 君の歌は、僕の影にこだまする 耳もとで、物語を囁いて 心の庭で遊び おとぎ話の織物を織る 夢の中に過ぎ行く日々 心に創られていく、おもちゃ 光のように、愛が結ばれる

Winter 04:58
lyrics
Winter lyrics by Ayuo The winter sings of sorrow and the passing times of life A crying voice deep inside When I think of what could have... Motion of light The winter is the space of things in the freezing wind I think of you And I think of what could have.. Dreams in silent water The silent breeze is the bringer, the result is the earth I learned from you What you didn't know And the world is... 冬 by Ayuo 冬は哀しみを歌い、人生の過ぎ行く時を歌う 心の奥底で泣いているような声 何があったのか考える時... 光の動き 冬は凍てつく風の中の空間 あなたを想って そして、私は何ができたかを考える... 静かな水の中の夢 静かな風は運び屋であり、結果は地球である 私はあなたから学んだ あなたが知らなかったことを そして世界...

Appearances 03:53
lyrics
Appearances (ミカケの世界) What I see here In this country Appearances are the only reality Life is on the surface. Rituals give life a kind of order, Here these become an art of behavior. Without any depth of character So much appeared Western Was revealed as Western only in appearance. Eating Western meal he discovered it was mainly Japanese

about

A compilation of Rock, Progressive Rock, and Experimental music. Not all music here is rock. "Leave This Place 2023" is a composition for a string quartet with rap recitation. "Quiet Moon In Space" is a composition for guitar with electronics. "Face of Another Waltz" is the waltz theme for the 1964 film "Face of Another" by Hiroshi Teshigahara composed by the contemporary classical music composer Toru Takemitsu. It is arranged in a rock style by Ayuo.
"The Sufi Medley" with Peter Hammill is a medley of "Nava - Perfumed Scorpion - Layla- interlude- and Persian Medley" It was originally meant to be released like a suite of sings like "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (VDGG) or "Supper's Ready" (Genesis). Discussions with the production company and record label ended with it being released in separate parts. Peter Hammill wrote the lyrics using Sufi imagery, especially for this medley of songs. The version here is the way it was supposed to be heard.
These are some of Ayuo's favorite compositions and songs. Some are previously unreleased. I am hoping that those who hear this will be intrigued enough to check out the other releases on Bandcamp.

ロック、プログレッシブ・ロック、実験音楽のコンピレーション。ここに収録されているのはロックばかりではない。「Leave This Place 2023」は、ラップの朗読を伴う弦楽四重奏のための楽曲。「Quiet Moon In Space」はギターとエレクトロニクスのための楽曲。"Face of Another Waltz "は、現代音楽の作曲家、武満徹が作曲した勅使河原宏の1964年の映画 "Face of Another "のワルツのテーマ。Ayuoがロック調にアレンジした。
ピーター・ハミルとの "The Sufi Medley "は、"Nava - Perfumed Scorpion - Layla- interlude- and Persian Medley "のメドレーで、当初は "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers"(VDGG)や "Supper's Ready"(Genesis)のような組曲のような形でリリースされる予定だった。制作会社やレコード会社との話し合いの結果、分割してリリースされることになった。ピーター・ハミルは、特にこのメドレーのために、スーフィーのイメージを使って歌詞を書いた。ここにあるバージョンが本来　聴いて欲しいヴァージョンである。
これらはAyuoのお気に入りの作曲と曲である。これを聴いて興味を持った人が、Bandcampで他のリリースもチェックしてくれることを期待している。
