I was certain disarray Doth lie in dream, that nothing stretched past hazy sight I couldn't keep my eyes off you But this I couldn't have foreseen the need to say where we were made completely so clearly that my folly was to be repurposed Stay, will you stay right beside me one of these days Beloved you are my red murmur Growing in everything it's you Sealing my heart with your every trembling atom And I've fallen in love with all your ways Stay, will you stay right beside me one of these days Beloved you are my red murmur Growing in everything it's you Sealing my heart with your every trembling atom

A multitude of misgivings Still I might treat a stranger Better than And the mirror still shows Something different Who am I? Who am I? Can I catch up To what I once was? Salted eyes They're common and often They're common and often Compromise Has two sides (sides) I met one in disguise Breaking bonds of iron How many times will I learn? I could do with more love I could do with more love You don't know who loves you Loves you Till you make amends reflectively And shed the fear of hearing The future is revealing Can I catch up to what I once was? Was I could do with more love I could do with more love I could do with more love I could do with more love

Frosted windowpane We're back in the same place The walls are closing in You reappear again We'll make our great escape With new visions we bring The moments slipping fast We're trying to run away from the past At night, at night At night, at night At night You make me feel alright At night At night You make me come alive Now how on earth did we get here Back in the same place, wonder where we'll be next year It's less clear, losing my sense here Need fresh ears, cause of my worst days You are my best fear, my beautiful nightmare I call for you, pick me up when I was down Just to fall for you, it's all for you I'm trying to tear down the walls for you, like you did for me If the future's sketchy, then fuck it, I'm drawn to you Compel me to your poison, tell me of your joys Dispel all the noise when it's done right When we speak of dark matters, it helps us fill the void Wonder how we gon' fit in the sunlight Cause at night, I'll be your knight in shining armour If you ever bothered, in case we never taking it Father, the elephant in the room is really a dust bunny No matter the back and forth, I'll always be in your corner especially At night How on earth did we get here it's less clear At night I be losing my sense here, need less fear At night Help me fill the void, help us fill the noise At night I'm loving your poise At night You make me feel At night You make me come alive At night You make me feel At night You make me feel At night

about

Pianist, composer, and producer Tuisku presents his debut album, "Ikiru”, blending elements of classical music, nu jazz, soul, hip-hop, and lo-fi sounds. This impressive album was inspired by Japanese philosophy and literature, a passion that Tuisku has nurtured over the past five years.

"Ikiru" takes its inspiration from the Japanese poet Miyazawa Kenji’s 雨ニモマケズ. The poem opened the doors for Tuisku to delve deeper into Japanese philosophy, literature, art, and cinema, inspiring and helping him to create a stunning musical landscape exploring themes of time, love, and creativity.

"Ikiru" is a beautifully crafted masterpiece, featuring contributions from a diverse range of talented artists: Colin Ong lends his expertise as co-producer and mixing engineer, while Matt McWaters (Sea of Voices), Khayden (Regatta, Daydream), Mr Tav (Daydream), Your Cousin Avi (More Love), swoo and Siddartha (At Night) make significant contributions to the album.

Although Tuisku has released multiple projects over the years, including 2020’s EP “Solace”, and singles such as “Gemütlichkeit” and “A Quiet Place”, "Ikiru" is the definitive expression of his artistic ethos. Tuisku's patience, ambition, and persistence have culminated in a career-defining body of work that will leave a lasting impression on music lovers worldwide.
