He claims it’s his ’masterpiece’. Symbol consists of Yokota’s modern re-workings of some classic works of composers such as Debussy, Mahler and Beethoven. For most of the album, the results are beautiful - track 9 (blue sky ＆ yellow sunflower) is especially lush, but there are a few odd re-workings that jar a little (track 4 - song of the sleeping forest) Symbol is elegant enough to play your mum and dad, and wonderfully tweaked, programmed and played enough to impress your muso mates.
