Chihei Hatakeyama (畠山地平) - Crescent Moon (2020)

«Waxing Moon» on the A-side is the live performance at Café Miyuko during the first edition of EndTitles.Kitchen.Lab to the early and middle stages. It is a guitar improvisation mainly and I have been using the long delay of Strymon's El Capitan.

The day after the live performance in Zurich was a day off for me, so I roamed around Zurich. Enchanted by the beautiful streets of Zurich, I headed to Lindenhof Hill. While watching the Limmat River I remembered Ueda Castle in Nagano Prefecture. Views from similar cliffs.
I then headed to Lake Zurich and drank coffee. That night I watched the Inter vs Barcelona Champions League at a bar.

«Waning Moon» recorded on the B-side is a performance in my home studio. This is also mainly a guitar improvisation and I switched the delay pedal into Strymon's Volante. This piece of music is inspired by the memories of Zurich.
