Shunsuke Tsuchiya: Earth and the Wind

One listen.

Heard this song for the first time a few days ago, wanted to write about it, procrastinated, threw myself in just now. Bit of a productive morning, and far more so than usual but I’m just trying to keep on going as there’s a lot I need to get through before tomorrow, and it’s happening and it’s nice. But anyway.

Threw myself in, wrote the below. Not great, but it feels pretty flowy to me. The song has a good sense of space to it and I don’t think I got that quite across, but I got some aspects of it down pretty firmly.

Shunsuke Tsuchiya’s (土屋 俊輔) “Earth and the Wind” (“風薫る大地“) is from the first Another Eden soundtrack, Another Eden Original Soundtrack.

I hope you enjoy.

The light notes and tones float on in, and soon something akin to woodwind plays over this airy rhythm. It seems at odds with the sounds, and yet it seems to fit quite snugly.

Soon the sounds start lifting upon a breeze, and they seem to keep going, or at least the woodwind does, and it disappears as everything else returns and anchors to the ground. The sounds stay earthy in this moment, and bass gets busy, but it seems to fit in nicely still.

Sounds return to the beginning, and that airiness is there, and once more the sounds elevate, and there seems to be some sort of melancholy, or known sadness there, even if only by a little.

That woodwind sound disappears once more, and a return to the ground to run along it in adventure happens once more, before finding its brief sense of pause before resuming once more, then the sounds fade and the song ends.
