HIKIKOMORI by Distinct Society

The songs on this album are a reflection on the growing phenomena of isolation which is experienced to an extreme in the Japanese current called Hikkikomori. As a composer I am often isolated for the obvious reason of finding peace and quiet and thus let the creative juices flow. But this movement, from what I have read about it is way more severe than my short term "creative" isolation. The world is indeed a very strange place.

This is the brainchild of Montreal composer arranger Robert Marchand. It reflects many moods, feelings and seasons in the life of a North-American musician. Robert has been in the music business for many decades as a musician,composer,arranger and producer for film,tv,cd-rom games,albums for various artists,etc,,, He has created this platform as a vehicule for a variety of musical styles.
