ABOUT 妈妈,爸爸。(FOR MUM, DAD)
Songs from Home
Gobi Canticle, composed by Lei Liang
Sunset in Gion, composed by Yuki Ohnishi
Accompanied by an idyllic landscape, illustrated by Regina Linke, that slowly reveals more and more of itself, the music of Lei Liang’s ‘Gobi Canticle’ is like a sunrise, the title credits, to the whole show. The piece alludes to various genres of Mongolian music that include the long-chant, as well as the music of dance and shaman rituals and evokes the feeling of being transported back to the villages of an old world.
The serene landscape gives way to a small boat that is catching less and less fish, while ‘Sunset in Gion’ by Yuki Ohnishi plays. The fish not only symbolize the diminishing of sustenance but the diminishing of other resources and a need to look beyond the little village for a bigger, better life. The last pulsing, cinematic section of the piece propels us into an unknown, new world.
Journey to Foreign Lands
Tibetan Tunes, composed by Chen Yi
I. Du Mu
II. Dui Xie
Three Bagatelles from China West, composed by Chen Yi
II. Nai Guo Hou
The scenery of illustrated mountains changes to that of the stark reality of city streets. The fisheye and 360-degree effects of the lens utilized to make the footage even more jarring and disorienting - much like being in a foreign land feels. The three movements from the two pieces by Chen Yi - are tentative, chaotic, and mismatched respectively, all states that one might feel in a foreign place where the language, culture, and people are totally different.
New Found Home
Something To Say, composed by Corey Chang
II. Reflective
III. Grounded
Su (Tracing Back), composed by Zhou Long
The end of the “Nai Guo Hou” gives way to Corey Chang’s “Something To Say”, as the hecticness of the street scene fades into the camera following a young woman as she goes about her day-to-day life. Chang’s piece is tranquil yet definitive punctuated by the proclamation of “I have something to say!”. What that is is left to the audience’s interpretation but as the piece winds down into a lulling repetition of playful musical motifs it may be a reflection of the feeling of settledness and a newfound home.
Ending with Zhou Long’s “Su”, brings the journey back full circle in a way as the strains of the cello and flute elicit connotations of Eastern instruments. The abridged English translation of the word “Su” means to trace back, trace back one’s history, and recall ancient times. It is a reminder to always honor and remember our roots and heritage and the folks that came before us so that we are where we are now.

YUKI OHNISHI (He/His) was born in Japan in 1984. At an early age, he began playing the violin. He later took part in the junior orchestra and played classical music, including popular symphonies by composers like Beethoven and Dvorak. Yuki learned to play the flute and piccolo when he was in high school, and joined his high school brass band.
While Yuki entered the Tokyo University of Science in 2004, he started studying jazz piano and performing with the Waseda University High Society Orchestra. This is one of the most famous student big bands in Tokyo. With this band, he joined for some live shows and competitions as a pianist. They performed with The Juilliard School Jazz Ensemble Band at Dizzy’s Bar at New York’s Lincoln Center in February 2006. He also studied jazz piano and composition under Junko Moriya, winner of the 2005 Thelonious Monk Composer’s Competition.
In April 2008, Yuki played keyboards to accompany musicians playing “Enka” (Japanese traditional music) at the Sweet Basil Japan live house (STB139) in Tokyo. From this time on, he also began to play synthesizers along with the piano.
After he worked as a website creator in Japan, Yuki enrolled at the Berklee College School of Music, majoring in Jazz Composition and Contemporary Writing and Production. His musical horizons expanded to include the whole world. He met many good musicians from many different countries and heard many styles of music that he had never played before.
In particular, gospel music stirred him both in terms of harmony and soul. It is a kind of bridge between jazz and classical music. Encountering gospel is one of the big turning points in Yuki’s music. Gospel music gave him an additional sense of harmony that he didn’t have before. He became able to combine the classical harmony he had used when he played with orchestras to the pop and jazz field. Also recording with gospel singers added an authentic American flavor to his music.
Yuki began as mainly a pianist, but has since expanded his studies to include production and composition. This allows him to be a bigger part of the process, and have more of an impact on how the music sounds while still getting to play with other musicians.
Yuki has familiarized himself with many instruments and has a true appreciation for the variety of music. He has a border-less and hybrid style that uses electric and acoustic sounds, both traditional classical and jazz harmonies, and live band and sequences. His music is simple and direct, and can be understood even by ordinary listeners, because it is based on sharing emotion with the listener. He knows the sounds everyone likes. More than anything, Yuki loves playing and making music with other musicians.
In December 2011, he graduated from Berklee College of Music with achieving dean’s list and he moved to New York to keep pursuing his music. He started his professional carrier in US as an engineer at Titanium Music Group. In many sessions with various talented songwriters in NY, He caught R&B and Urban Hiphop / gospel chops which any school never teach.
In May 2016, he moved back in Tokyo and joined her0ism’s, award-wining Japanese music producer, team. His music has been released in US, Japan, South Korea, China, Myanmar… including No.1 songs on Japanese Music chart.
