Here is an arrangement of an original song I wrote awhile back called Ground. It's the first/last song on the Leapah solo album. It's a song that I wrote with places and people in mind that give me a sense of grounding.
Originally written as an ambient electronic song. Recording here:
open.spotify.com/track/4HN5s48rvvnuAgHLjK3Asw?si=TEyVOTXoS7ehBGUv7zoEHw
Then I redid it with more of a jazz/math rock ballad treatment to close the album. Some influences here might include American Football or Jaga Jazzist.
open.spotify.com/track/3TbSLTJ3ScKQ533QrM6FxA?si=ODqsj0qbQN-_tEJAoouVYA
It bookends the album as this grounding place for the listener to start in and come back to, not unlike sitting upright on the ground at the start and end of yoga practice.
これは前に作曲した「Ground」と言う曲のアレンジです。Leapahのソロのアルバムを始めると終わる曲です。名前「地面」の意味で、私が平和的の感じを出す人とか場所について曲です。
最初にアムビエントのエレクトロニックと言うな曲でした。レコードはこちら:
open.spotify.com/track/4HN5s48rvvnuAgHLjK3Asw?si=TEyVOTXoS7ehBGUv7zoEHw
それで私のバンドもう少しジャズとマスロクの混合な感じのバーゾノを作った。影響があるアチストはAmerican Football, Jaga Jazzistなどです。

ヨガのセッションの始めでも終りでも地面に座ると見ていて、この曲は聞き者がアルバムを始めても終わっても平和的な場所を思い出す向け曲です。
