MIZU - Forest Scenes 2024 [24Bit/48kHz]

Forest Scenes is an album of transitions: transitions between seasons, careers and identities. MIZU‘s last album, Distant Intervals, was released under the name Issei Herr; before that, the Juilliard-trained cellist was part of a more conventional world. While stretching boundaries of gender and genre, she has grown more experimental in sound and presentation. Where does one description end and another begin? Is there ever a day that is both winter and spring? Where is the line between old and new? Or are all descriptions arbitrary, and reality fluid? The titles “The Way to Yonder” and “Realms of Possibility” sing of forward motion, even when “yonder” remains undefined.
