The beauty of the People and Nature of Kanazawa

December, 2010

I think there are projects in your life that seal you forever. Book of Seasons – A year in Kanazawa is one of the most interesting and lovely documentaries I’ve ever worked in.
Each one of the stories inside this film touched my soul and I will be very proud to be part of this forever. Book of Season a years project that started at the beginning of 2010, going back to the location every season to complete the theme. After one year working on this movie we organized a film festival in the city of Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture, where I had the opportunity to meet some of the characters on the movie and personally thank them for their wonderful inspiration.

We made a DVD, a poster, a flyer and finally a book for this project, where I was in charge of the design, selecting carefully each one of the incredible images from the movie. Finally we selected a drawing from a Kimono with the four season theme, as the main image for the whole project.

For the music, the Director Kaori Brand and me though about using traditional japanese children songs, I contacted my brother Daniel Jiménez and his wife Shenny Lopez to help me on the soundtrack.
Daniel made a completely new arrangement of the song Haru ga kita, “The Spring was come” with Shenny singing in Japanese, followed by the song Yuki, “Snow” arranged by the two brothers on a king of electronic mood sung again by Shenny. The rest of the music was new compositions composed by me inspired on each one of the seasons.
