    The collection of finger-picking style guitar works in open tunings. The essence of roots music, including country blues, Indian and Middle Eastern music, and ancient music, is eclectically combined with the euphoric minimal/drone music to create a unique psychedelic/ambient folk world. The title track, "Butterfly Dream," is based on Zhuangzi's "Butterfly Dream," and features not only guitars but also hurdy-gurdy and other instruments, creating a hypnotic and nostalgic soundscape.

    TOMO (6 & 12 strings guitar, hurdy gurdy, electric tampura, voice)

    全編に渡って豊かな共鳴音が鳴り響くオープン・チューニングを多用したフィンガー・ ピッキング・スタイルのギター作品を集めたソロ・アルバム。 カントリー・ブルース、インド・中近東音楽、古楽などを織り交ぜたルーツミュージックのエッセンスと、 ミニマル/ドローン・ミュージックの陶酔感が折衷的に融合し、独特なサイケデリック/アンビエント・フォーク世界が繰り広げられている。 荘子の「胡蝶の夢」をテーマにした表題作「Butterfly Dream」をはじめ、ギター以外にハーディーガーディーなどもフューチャーさせ、 催眠的かつノスタルジックな音像へと誘う。
