专辑简介

The first solo-album from Ayako Okunuki, a Celtic fiddler, goes beyond the boundaries of several genres. The timbre of her songs enhanced by her unique sensitivity-gained while traveling in various countries such as Ireland, Canada, Spain, etc.-resonates powerfully and gently with the deep sounds generated by her fellow musicians. The lineup of tracks is extensive, and draws upon Irish trad, Scottish, and Cape Breton Celtic music, Classical as well as her original songs. Latin and Middle Eastern percussion are also introduced and an unconventional free sound develops. She hopes that listeners can "share" a blissful moment with this album, like the "solstice" in the title which means the solstice of the Sun, the moment of its climax and the joy of when hope begins.
