Following 2010’s release of the Kitchen. Label classic “sketch”, ironomi returns with their long awaited seventh album, a 3CD 164 minutes collection entitled ‘niji’ (English Translation: Rainbow). Joining pianist Junya Yanagidaira and programmer Yu Isobe are a stellar line-up of their most loved collaborators and contemporaries. In ‘niji’, the record is marked by the same tranquility and fleetingness of their sound but also offers a slight departure from the traditions of ironomi’s previous recordings with the addition of other instruments (Saxophone, Contrabass, Koto, Violins etc) contributed by the guest musicians on each of the 12 tracks - Featuring Nobuyuki Nakajima, Jyoji Sawada (Choro Club) as well as members of the Kitchen. Label family ASPIDISTRAFLY, haruka nakamura, ARAKI Shin, Akira Uchida, Rie Nemoto among many others.

ironomi has a sound which is almost enigmatic to describe. One could listen to their albums on an ambient level and just let the music flow through. Or one could listen closer and find a detail in the sound that is intricate and palatable. ironomi’s impressionistic ripples of piano fragments generate the cumulative feel of a gently flowing river or the shifting play of light through the leaves of trees. ironomi is like nature, a sound of nature that has existed from the beginning and free from any judgement.

The duo’s music is distinctively less about conventional compositional structure than it is about the creating and sustain of mood. For each of the recordings in ‘niji’, improvised sessions were recorded and the best takes were kept intact with very minimal post production. The works showcase ironomi’s capacity to construct compelling music in real-time, their melodic-harmonic imagination as an improviser and ability to consistently find and shape new forms with each of their collaborators also sharing the same strong sense for the dialectics of sound and silence. A wishful charm imbues this entire recording of pieces which, though not written together, seem to have been predestined for each other in this album.

The latest album is highlighted by almost 40 minutes worth of music recorded together with haruka nakamura on classical guitar, whom he had spent his early formative years touring and collaborating with the duo on numerous occasions. In the collaboration with April Lee and Ricks Ang of ASPIDISTRAFLY, voices are striving to be heard and a song was unexpectedly born from the improvisational session. The result is perhaps the most strongly lyrical piece of ironomi’s releases to date.

“niji” is available on 3CD and digital formats on 24th December 2015. The physical CD copy comes in a customised letter-pressed folio. The cover is designed with a unique holographic foil which cause a refraction that creates constantly changing light reflections and prismatic colors. All linking back to the symbolic representation of the miraculous hues of ironomi’s sound world, trapping the listeners in a peaceful space of pure sound and sonic allusions.

Itoko Toma, a Pianist and vocalist, releases her second album.
Besides her piano solo works and original songs as same music style as her previous album, but also includes songs composed with chamber music style, which brings more taste in this album.
This album is created with many inspirations from ‘sea’ which she felt in her daily life.  It begins with the song “shorebird”, which you will hear a gentle voice brings a bird floating on the sea wind.  Also, a supporting piano will draw a flow of waves created with arpeggio sounds of moving from lower tones to higher tones.  With this gently played piano without any intonation will show the image very clearly of the waves flowing.  Her dreamy and feathery world is expressed in the track “fantasia”, the strings arrangements will widens up the view, and the motif played with piano brings the light as a sea splash.  “horse from parallel”, a key track of this album, features a vocal as a major role of this song and a simple chord progression helps the enhancement of melodious sounds.  “when the word and the heart will mix well”, an adagio-like composition, is wrapped with heartwarming atmosphere with the daintiness and delicate strings arrangements.  The album ends with a gentleness tune of “cantabile”, with a singing of freely played piano, which echoes deeply to bring peacefulness.

For strings arrangement, track #3 done by Akira Kosemura, who is also a producer of this album, and track #9 done by Quentin Sirjacq, a French pianist and composer, who released his album under the same label SCHOLE.  Also, Hiroshi Iguchi as a sound engineer who supports the previous releases of Akira and Quentin, and Shin Kikuchi creates MV and designed for album covers using the visuals taken from her hometown, Okayama.  The album was produced by viewing Itoko Toma’s world through a SCHOLE filter.

boat - 1st album「みどり」より

偶然這種沒頭沒腦的自然而然！偶然被澆濁，偶然隨波逐流。偶然迷路，弄不清自己搭載的什麼，怎麼表述眼前的複雜和純粹。偶然，我有話要說。

《 “2020” concert 》 2020年春、世界の動きが止まったとき、 静かに動き始めた音楽があります。
人の災いに関係なくすくすくと成長を続けるぶどうの樹々。山梨県北杜市にあるBEAU PAYSAGEのぶどう畑で森ゆにさんと田辺玄さんは、配信のライブを行いました。

晴れ渡る空、そよぐ春風に吹かれながら、八ヶ岳を背景にのびのびと歌うゆにさんの声、優しく寄り添う玄さんのギターは、見る人の心につかの間の安らぎをもたらしてくれました。
そのライブがきっかけとなりBEAU PAYSAGE岡本英史さんの発案で、2020年を忘れないために、近くにいる大切な人やことを大切にする気持ちを込めて、『2020』と名付けられたアルバムづくりが始まりました。
初めてデュオ作品をつくることになった森ゆにさんと田辺玄さん。始まりも録音もすべて山梨でつくられた、けれどその音楽は世界中の人々に向けられた、雄大で美しいアルバムです。
