After watching the video of the tsunami devastating the shores of Japan, I couldn’t work anymore. So instead I sat down to dedicate a few hours of my effort and energy to those who are affected.

Best listened to on headphones. It’s a mood/texture piece.

Named after a book by my favorite author, Haruki Murakami

I think the world changed on that day. This is very evocative. This piece could be called Alone Tones. PS...where did the name AloneTone come from?

Moving piece. The shear weight of personal tragedy is overwheling and your music somehow seems to connect with it.

combined with the video footage this is powerful and moving. in fact it is powerful and moving without the footage.

I can hear your feelings, good expression! I don't want to watch your video about it, it hurts too much.

Video works for me. Well done man. I saw on vid with cars and boats going over a water fall. Looking closely, I could see one car with a person in the back seat, banging on the rear window as the car rolled over the falls. It was horrific.

I like what you're saying here, Su'. Also: I listened to the piece without the visual/video and Heard so much... Really rich medley---

@Andrew I think I know what you mean. With the rate that information travels these days, I often find it hard to internalize and/or find a space to truly process and "feel" each event. Are we humanly capable of doing so? On top of that it's hard to hear my own true feelings and reactions above the chatter of the media, friends, etc. The footage this music was made for hit me hard. At the same time I was really annoyed with the announcers wanting to explain what was going on. I need silence when viewing something like this, a human talking over this footage is irreverent and shameful to me. Does that make sense? I made this piece of music because this is my silence, or put another way, an example of sound that hopefully respects the image by pulling the watcher in, giving them space to feel what this means and not babbling in their ear.

An emotional and, I found, disturbing listen. I have to admit, news stories and footage of things like this often tend to pass me by, I seem not to get emotionally involved. I sometimes wonder why this is but I have no proper answer. I do get affected by some news stories, but not usually the big ones like this. My wife has been upset, but I've been left cold again on this one, until now. Listening to this piece has opened it up slightly for me, making it more... I don't know what... Many thanks for making this and posting it.

I've just been watching - in some awe - footage of the moment the tsunami struck part of the coast. I think this music captures my feelings quite well.

Moody and perfect to accompany a video of the disaster. Also makes for quiet reflection. Tastefully done, love the pipe. The headphones are a must.

what a horrible thing to happen. The piano sets the sober tone well, with subtle samples in the background really make this piece.

Dark tune for a dark day. Quakes will probably run along the rim of fire for sure so take notice.Cali will get hit in a day or two.Mexico also.

Couldn't have been a better inspired piece of music to go with those video images from Japan.
