Style: anime soundtrack, modern classical
Primary Emotions/Themes: a soft and moving piano driven glimpse into a slice of life
Thoughts: Full disclosure: I have never seen this anime. I was enthralled by the cover for whatever reason and decided to look up the music. When I heard it I knew I had to get the album.
A Silent Voice is largely a piano composition. Nearly every song is a simple melody played with the lightest of touch on the piano. It's so delicate that you can hear the fingers lifting off the keys and the feet pressing and releasing the pedals. It feels so incredibly intimate, so pure.
This soundtrack has a permanent spot in my collection. It's not because the movie is great, it's that the music is profound. Every time I listen to this I have to stop what I'm doing and take the music in, because it demands that of me. It demands that I slow down, forget about life for a minute and just be.
