2024年10月頃東京にて、はじめて友人経由でYeに呼ばれた。リリース直前だというアルバムにひと晩、思い浮かんだアレンジを好き勝手加えるだけのはずが、アルバムに参加することになり、生音レコーディングを手伝うことになった。最終的に僕たちの録音は5曲で使われることになったようです。時間のない中尽力してくれたミュージシャンの方々ありがとうございました。 貴重な経験でした。Yeの新曲をいち早く聴きながらレコーディングしたり、アレンジする作業は楽しい時間でした。この機会をくれたJamilに感謝です。 Ye、リリースおめでとう。 ⸻ Long story short, Around October 2024 in Tokyo, I was invited to meet Ye for the first time through a friend. At first I was suposed to add some ideas with guitar and keys for just one night, but before I knew it, I ended up contributing to the album in Live instrument recording. In the end, it seems five of the tracks we worked on made it in the album. Huge thanks to all the musicians who gave their time and effort despite the tight schedule. getting to immerse myself in his new music, was pure bliss. Huge thanks to Jamil for making this opportunity possible. Ye, congratulations on the release.
