“Day After Day -Music For 88keys-” The fourth album by Junichi Wakimaru, a composer and keyboard player. This album contains 14 songs of various styles made for keyboard instruments.

Aeolian piano

This album is a collection of piano works by Junichi Wakimaru. It mainly consists of his improvisations influenced by ambient music, classical music and jazz. All 12 songs. In 2011, Junichi Wakimaru launched his first collection on CD recording “Piano Music & Chamber Music” – with the album he started his professional career as composer of chamber music, also playing the piano on stage, mainly with other instrumentalists of Japanese traditional music. His compositions are characteristic in the modal writing: through the modes, des themes appear repeatedly, or generate its variations which start their own developments freely, resulting in his characteristic palette of tone colours, as well as in particular timbres like pre-baroque early music or in Oriental atmosphere, with all of these he developed his own style, well rooted in post-minimalistic and ambient movements.

Piano+

This album is a second album by composer and pianist Junichi Wakimaru. Music included in this album is piano music and indoor music. I recommend this album to those who like post classical music and minimal music.
