  • Bio

    ...::Biography::..... Linda Bjalla is the solo musical identity of Izumi Suzuki from Japan who lists her primary instruments as: piano, voice, glockenspiel, melodica. Izumi's main web presence is her simply styled personal website, where she makes frequent announcements on her work. She also has an extensive MySpace network at the time of this review - May 2008 - comprising over 600 friends and is now developing her Virb presence. All of her web space is a pleasure to visit. They are as economical as a zen garden with lots of white space and simple understated typography and perfectly complements her musical style... .. ..Landschaft.... .. .. .. .. ...::Discography::..... ..[EPs].... ..＊Physical＊.. .... ..Lost in the forest.. .. 01.

SOLD OUT .. .. ..＊Digital＊.... ............Lost in the forest........Linda Bjalla.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download..   ..Share.......... Lost in the Forest is both a musical work and a hand crafted artefact of simple beauty. Enclosed in a tactile, crackley cellophane bag, each cover has been hand stamped with iconic children's storybook imagery. An owl, a magical tree, a rabbit. And each is uniquely, a touch that communicates the passion and sensitivity that Izumi brings to her work. Lost in the Forest is the encapsulation of an idealised childhood - of stories from Hans Christian Anderson or The Brothers Grimm read by nightlight at bedtime. It moved me deeply - it is an island of calm away from the unforgiving pressures of adulthood; a sweet-sorrow reflection on mortality. To evoke the positive things as do these four simple pieces takes a rare sensitivity. To place the work in a collection of four is percisely the right choice. The EP is soon over - it works it's magic and then, in the afterglow there is a time for quiet reflection. This is not a work to be consumed, rather it is a fragile, magical gift for stimulating memory and should be used sparingly, when the need is there for that connection with the past..... Commentary of the tracks individually is superfluous. Nothing more can be added to distillation evoked by the four titles:.. Kiss Thumbelina.. Forest at Night.. Ring of Earth..

    橋本大阪市長の全てに賛成ってわけじゃないけど、新しいことに挑戦しようとする姿勢は素晴らしいと思う。「今の日本に必要なのは独裁」とか言ったそうだけど、実はそれも皮肉なんじゃないかと思う。お前らが目を覚まさないから独裁政治になる。それで本当に良いのか？っていうメッセージ。

  2. Linda Bjalla

    これすっごい！普通の住宅にもこの設備があれば東電ボイコットできるね。｜災害時の救助拠点となる「究極のプレハブ」、自力で変形も可能な「EDV-01」を実際に見てきました～内部編～ - GIGAZINE http://t.co/4fwASaPj

    温度上昇の原因が分かってないところが気持ち悪いなぁ。

  4. Linda Bjalla

    原子力発電は最悪だと思うけど、技術者さん達はすごいと思う。だってあんな事故があったのに、一応冷温停止までもってこれたんだもん。2号機が安定してないのが怖いけど・・・。

  5. Linda Bjalla

    税金をもっと有効に、もっと未来があるものに使わなくちゃ。今の日本は今までのツケがたまって爆発してボロボロだから、一時しのぎ無しではやっていけない状況かもしれないけど、これからは先のことを考えて色んな事を決めていかなくちゃだめだと思う。

     hi Izumi :) thank you for listening , sorry not much new work up , hope to make time for more soon. Myspace is slowly losing life i think but i will continue for a while , maybe start a site like yours and Annes ( building castles). Much love , enjoy your summer & i hope your family back home are safe.

      Hi Dave! Yes, Myspace is uncomfortable...  I don't think I will upload new works here. Myspace will be just for memories. I will use soundcloud and my official site. That's a good idea to make your own site! I use wordpress and I like that. Thank you! I appreciate your concern. Now I know the radiation levels in the atmosphere around my hometown is normal at least. There are still a lot of things I should concern about, but now I sleep well :)

She Sings Sea Songs

01. Seabirds
02. Calling from the sea
03. The Waves Have A Story To Tell Me

..



Some people say that mermaids do not exist. Pure lies. Izumi Suzuki (aka Linda Bjalla) is one of them and invites us to dream and a journey of pure enchantment by cold seas of Sweden,

Izumi use her voice like a siren who naively tries to attract listeners. And she made it. The rest of the scenario is the mastery of a piano accompanied by sound landscapes that make us remember the seabed.

The spell is short so it is recommended to listen in loop.
