The philosophy behind Matzumi Music

Music Is So Much More Than Just The Sound In Your Ear.....

... this is what it says again and again when it comes to the music of Matzumi, but what is behind it?
Vangelis, Loreena McKennitt, Lisa Gerrard - great names of artists with whom Matzumi is often compared. How often one reads this in the comments of those listeners and Matzumi fans, but Matzumi insists on independence, on unconditional authenticity - whether in the sound of her music or in her very own and distinctive singing.
In her music, Matzumi tells her very own story, whereby her music mostly manages without words. She has her very own "handwriting". Every sound - no matter how inconspicuous - is well thought out, nothing is left to chance. Every sound has its own specific message, a specific message that tells its listeners who Matzumi is.
Music as a diary of one's own life, own experiences, adventures, emotions. Music as a snapshot of moods, thoughts, feelings. Sometimes dramatic, sometimes melancholic, sometimes quiet, sometimes stirring.
Music influences us directly. Matzumi penetrates with her sounds deep into the soul of those listeners who get involved and let themselves be carried by her sound painting.
Matzumi Music takes us on a journey to ourselves.

The background of her Music:

The instrument as the mouthpiece of the soul, the music as a diary of one's own life. Compositions are emotions - expressed in sound and tone.
"Music has so much power! It captures us, makes us see images in our minds, lets us escape from the gray reality."
"It likes stories, likes to tell things that are difficult to put into words."
"Music can create worlds for us and is so much more than just the sound in our ears..."
