Suite “Carapace” consists of 15 pieces composed between 2005 and 2015 collected chronologically in three volumes. The first of these volumes includes three works composed and premiered at Tokyo College of Music in 2005, Horseshoe Crab, Odontodactylus japonicus, and Fiddler Crab, and two works composed in 2007 and premiered at Yokosuka City Culture Hall, Pistol Shrimp and Japanese Spider Crab. Each of these works in this volume was inspired by the name or appearance of a particular carapace, as suggested by the titles. Through the music, we are able to examine each creature in detail with a variety of characteristic rhythms and harmonies arising from the composer's deep interest and imagination.
