Text on "Resonator"
by Kazuya Nagaya

I always intend to make a strong intensity of sound. When I compose music I aim at making a sound that is so independent that does not need any ensembles, voices or orchestras. To make a sound that is as vivid and alive as existence itself is my ideal.
My CD consists of three pieces. I don`t give much forethought to make them. I just let the sound come through naturally. To paraphrase Paul Bowls, the American novelist
in the title of one of his books, I simply "Let it Come Down". I believe in using
the minimum treatment to make those pieces.

I let the sound come down and let it resonate.
