I adore this composer, and I am so glad I discovered him! I love how even though his harmonic language is kind of always repeating somehow it still feels incredible and complex in its simplicity. And the silence, it's amazing how he uses silence to balance those big waves, it's almost as important as the music itself!

Lyrics: There is something that contains everything. Before heaven and earth it is. Oh, it is still, unbodied, all on its own, unchanging, all-pervading, ever-moving. So it can act as the mother of all things. Not knowing its real name, we only call it Tao. If it must be named, let its name be great. Greatness means going on, going on means going far, and going far means turning back. So they say: "Tao is great, heaven is great, and humankind is great; four greatnesses in the world, and humanity is one of them" People follow earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, Tao follows what is. - Lao Tzu

This is a "wow" piece for me! I plan to investigate a lot more of his music. Reminds me in some ways of Feldman, Part, and Takemitsu. I notice you have a lot of Japanese composers on your channel. Who would you pick as your top 2 or 3 favorite?

Listening to this makes me wanna delete the comments (this one first) and ban them and just let it be.

We don’t listen SATOH without investing a little thought and time to his philosophy and his inspiration, to be able to breathe the scents of his prodigious musical architecture !!

@Philippe Cirse I would be interested in your very subjective psychological reactions to this music - be it intellectual or emotional : ) If you have anything more to share, I'm thankful!

@Johannes Schäbel Of course, my comment is subjective and I intellectualize a little too much; it may be because of the confinement that we all undergo in these troubled times .. I think it's a music that calms the mind and plunges us into sweet reverie before a restful sleep (Thanks to Google trad. because I am a humble French musician ;)

Can you share some thoughts of yours about this music and philosophy? I would love to hear them. I feel that this music is very intensively evoking mysterious feelings in the subconcious which can be frightening for me sometimes. But it also has a very strange and barely seizable sense of consolation.

+enc iru When I listen to Satoh's music, why does it make me think of the past, present, and future? Is it because of the power of his music? HOW DOES HE DO IT?! It's too good...

+enc iru Out of all of them, who is the most similar to Satoh?
Vor 4 yearsNoble 6
+enc iru Yeah same! Would Toru Takemitsu fit in that list? Who are all of these artists mainly inspired by? We should talk about this more together if you want.

My dear, i just wanted to endorse the criativity and the sensibility of some japaneses to create such masterpiece like this. By the way, I used the adjective “astonishing” on the positive way. Just to complement, is not our rudeness if some people only know the primitive culture of “some” brazilians, and think lamentably that all the brazilian culture is primitive to. Yes, it can't be translated by translation tools. I guess!

We brazilian are grateful when we're reminded. Specially of our upper parts!
