Interview; THE JOURNEY by 7115 by SZEKI
7115 by SZEKI joined my creation journey this time at the opera.”In the latest edition of THE JOURNEY, we have the pleasure of meeting composer Aya Yoshida, who brings a philosophical approach to her work along with a keen eye and ear for details. In this special discussion, we catch a glimpse of Aya’s perspective on how music plays a pivotal role in connecting people and fostering a sense of “home.” Delving into the significance of maintaining a “creator’s workout” routine and discovering beauty in both stillness and lost memories.”
