In his compositions Yoshihiro Kanno bases himself on three idioms: Western instrumental music, Japanese traditional instruments, and computer music. Combining these various elements freely, as in the recent work Himiko Memories of the Sun Goddess which fuses Western classical music and Japanese traditional music with Kabuki and Japanese classical dance. The pianist Noriko Ogawa is a champion of Kanno's music and has commissioned three of the works on the present disc, including the so-called 'Particle of Piano' series. The 'Particle series' is framed by two works which both incorporate computerized sounds in the case of the opening Angel's Ladder it is the sound of the piano itself which at crucial points is processed, and in Lunar Rainbow it is that of a toy piano. The disc closes with the brief Prelude for Angel, composed in 1985 for the animated film Angel's Egg (Tenshi no tamago) by Mamoru Oshii.
