About
In 2021 'Thread of Light' was recorded during the Corona-pandemic separately in their homes in Kobe and New York and put together for release. It is music full of power and emotions reflecting anger, anxiety and sorrow as well as of inspiration and optimism for a time after the pandemic. Extraordinary music for an extraordinary time - Wolfgang Gross

All but two unaccompanied solos here were created as Fonda's subsequently improvised rejoinders to existing piano pieces by Fujii, but they sound uncannily like a realtime conversation. 'Kochi', the opener, quickly establishes the modus operandi, with Fonda's resonant long-tones sliding between Fujii's wide-spaced ascending ripples and softly dissonant chords.
