The Talking Current of the River Mouth

Artist:

mi duno

Kagoshima, Japan

Notes:

Recorded at the mouth of the Itego River on Yakushima— a UNESCO World Natural Heritage island where water, stone, and time speak in their own quiet language.
Here, the gurgling current forms a soft, shifting cadence, a murmured conversation shaped by the meeting of river and sea.
This piece invites the listener to hear the water as a voice that remembers its journey, lingering just beyond understanding.
