Recorded at a concert held at Uhara Hall in Kobe, Japan on October 31, 2020.
A delicate, magnificent, and beautiful neo-classical live EP with 14 members of the string ensemble.
"Intro" is an improvised ambient piece with an upright bass.
A couple of songs from their first album "Heart Sky Door" were arranged for this concert.
It included "Mixed Colors", an unreleased song that became the original song "The Wind Of God" from the second album "Two Dreams Flew Over A Pine Tree".
