French musician and composer Mark J SOLER announces the release of Hanami, a new three-minute instrumental piece inspired by a deeply moving springtime walk among blooming cherry trees near the historic Château de Versailles.
“This instrumental song is to celebrate the return of spring. I was walking the other day in a place called the ‘Arboretum’ near the Versailles castle in France,” Mark recalls.
“There is a section in this huge area planted with Japanese cherry trees. They were all blooming like crazy. I suddenly understood the Japanese term “’H”Hamani”, i.e. capturing an exceptional moment just watching the cherry tree flowers. This is what I did. Returning to the studio, I composed this song to restore the moment.”
