Minimalism and grooves weave the interplay of light and shadow.

In 2024, Tatsuya Oe, who previously released ambient works such as “Starry Messenger” and “Seisei Ruten,” as well as the early techno compilation “Early Techno Works 9697” under the OE alias, has now released a contemporary electronic album, which is the mainstream style for this alias. While inheriting the minimalist and progressive approach showcased in last year’s “Compositions in Blue,” this new work features more groovy and rhythmical tracks, resulting in a vibrant and dynamic album.

- Album Description -

This work is a contemporary electronic album composed with the concept of the interplay between ‘light and shadow,’ while drawing on the minimalistic elements and progressive direction showcased in last year’s “Compositions in Blue.” The track selection spans from bright and pop-infused melodies with choir introductions to melancholic and groovy tunes.

The opening track, ‘Breakout,’ is a thrilling instrumental that interweaves Oe’s characteristic funkiness with minimalism. Tracks like ‘Sky High’ and ‘Neo Metropolis’ weave female choir vocals and piano arpeggios into futuristic electronic funk. ‘The River Flows On,’ ‘Coast to Coast,’ and ‘Chapel Song’ immerse the listener with repetitive phrases and groovy bass and drums, serving as the ‘shadow’ in a sense. Finally, ‘Rejoice’ combines influences from Baroque music with funky rhythms, carried by a choir (or chant) that uplifts the mood.

ミニマリズムとグルーヴが織りなす、「光と影」の戯れ

2024年、アンビエント作品『Starry Messenger』『Seisei Ruten』、初期テクノ作品集『Early Techno Works 9697』をOE名義でリリースしたタツヤ・オオエが、この名義での王道であるコンテンポラリー・エレクトロニック作品をリリース。昨年の『Compositions in Blue』で披露したミニマリスト的でプログレッシブな路線を継承しつつ、よりリズミカルでグルーヴィーな楽曲が揃った、躍動感溢れる作品に仕上がっている。

- アルバム解説 -

今作は、昨年の『Compositions in Blue』のミニマリズム的要素やプログレッシブな路線を基調にしつつ、「光と影」の相互作用をコンセプトにして構成された、コンテンポラリー・エレクトロニック・アルバム。クワイアを導入したポップでブライトな楽曲からメランコリックでグルーヴィーな楽曲まで、幅を持たせた選曲が特徴。

オープニングトラックの「Breakout」は、オオエらしいファンクネスとミニマリズムが交錯する、スリリングなインストゥルメンタル。「Sky High」や「Neo Metropolis」は女声クワイアとピアノのアルペジオが織りなす、近未来的なエレクトロニック・ファンク。「The River Flows on」や「Coast to Coast」、「Chapel Song」は反復するフレーズとグルーヴィーなベース＆ドラムが聴く者を没入させる、いわば「影」の役割を果たす楽曲。「Rejoice」はバロック音楽の影響も感じさせつつ、ファンキーなリズムに乗せたクワイア（聖歌隊）が気分を高揚させる。
