The NMC Debut Discs series - 12 discs promised over the next four years, each devoted to one emerging British composer – launched this month with Huw Watkins, Sam Hayden and, less familiar to me, Dai Fujikura. Born in Osaka in 1977, but resident here for more than 20 years, he has already swept up many prizes, and worked with Boulez and Dudamel. Europe, he says, thinks of him as a Japanese composer. The sensuous, watery influences of Takemitsu, writ large, are certainly audible. He considers himself British and says writing slow, meditative gong music is against his nature. This lively east-west tension is evident in the five works here. Secret Forest (2008) is a riot of imaginative bird and insect noise – a private utopia well worth exploring.
