Radicalfashion -  In Women

Released under the iiP moniker, ‘SEN’ is the latest work by sound designer Setsuya KUROTAKI - a three-part composition shaped by field recordings, live instrumentation, and finely calibrated programming.

Constructed as a musical self-dialogue involving his alter-egos "Sebastian Kline" and "Nicolie Binara", the work examines the fluidity of sound materials and the emergence of emotion through the conceptual frames of “Sequence,” “Environment,” and “Neutral.”

Balancing restraint and organic layering, it can be read as a subtle disturbance of the boundary between interiority and environment.

Sequence

Shunichiro Fujimoto “Rejoice”

I wake up in the morning, and place the score on the stand.
I open the keyboard lid and practice as always.
As soon as my fingers feel right, I take a deep breath and place my fingers on the keys once again.
Just as the musicians did in the old days.
Composing music starts every morning in this simple way.
Connecting to the piano.
Everyday repeats itself.
Playing until you find the perfect chord and scale.
The score which was made through many inspirations and revisions, reveals the time with the piano.
Traditionally made music that no one has heard.
The main theme of this album is “forfeiture”.
Rising up from a loss and moving towards accepting the present state.
What is here is not the past, but something for the present, rejoice.
The sound of the wood creaking and the sound of the player breathing.
The gentle sound of the piano strings resonating with each other.
It is almost as if it were midnight, creating a calm world of shadows.
45 minutes of a tranquil midnight.
Enjoy the music.

This song is LIVE version.

Pieni, Machione’s second album, means “small” or “little”. This title was inspired by an essay written by Japanese author. In the same fashion that Machione’s first album portrayed the western area of Tokyo, the artist again plays an array of instruments, such as the gut guitar, clarinet, banjo, and reed organ. His compositions and musical stylings show a deep emotional bond to pieces of scattered memories – scenes, and adventures from his childhood, and the loneliness of living alone in Tokyo. Machione precisely paints musical visions of each, and together, they reveal his persona in this evocative album. A child’s toy boat made of bamboo leaves drifts down a small rivulet, an exploration by following a rope between the steel towers. The tones from a music box sprinkled through the album evoke images of colorful pebbles. A prepared guitar’s song paints a pattern of blurred light. TC2610, repsold, water harp bell, broken, untuned and an old, decorative object…the songs that these unique instruments sing fluidizes our senses, and swings our imaginations. This panorama exhibited before us by Machione are scenes from a small town, one that you might have visited some time.

イギリス人1人宅録オーケストラDirectorsoundが前作より3年ぶりとなる、通算7枚目のアルバムをリリース！
はじめての子供の誕生に対する喜びと愛を綴った、穏やかでスウィートな箱庭アコースティック・シンフォニーによる、音のラブレター。

イギリス・ドーセット出身ロンドン在住のマルチ奏者ニック・パーマーによる音楽プロジェクト、ダイレクターサウンド。前作から3年ぶりとなる本作は、2016年8月に誕生したニックの初めての子供のために制作されたアルバムです。前作『Into the Night Blue』ではスウェーデンの音の魔術師 ”Musette”ことヨエル・ダネルらを迎えて録音しましたが、本作は再び1人オーケストラのスタイルで制作されました。
 
2016年の8月、ロンドンの病院で子供が無事に誕生した後、36時間寝てない状態だったニックは少し休憩しようと朝の5時頃に公園を散歩していました。その朝日が昇る中、このアルバムの最初のモチーフを思い浮かび、その後2年の月日をかけて子供のために作曲と録音を続けアルバムを完成させました。録音の作業は子供を起こさない様に夜遅い時間に行っていたそうです。
 
ギター、ピアノ、アコーディオン、バンジョー、ウクレレ、ツィター、オートハープ、ブズーキ、パーカッションなど、たくさんの生楽器を1人で演奏し（＊Ian Halfordがドラムで数曲参加。）、古いジャズや映画音楽、エキゾチカ、ハワイアン、フォークなどの要素が１曲の中に万華鏡のように混在するダイレクターサウンド特有の箱庭アコースティック・オーケストラ的サウンドとロマンチシズムは健在ながらも、今までよりもレイドバックした、穏やかでゆったりと流れる曲調の楽曲で構成されています。はじめての子供の誕生という複雑さも含む喜びの記録であり、もっとも特別な時間へ宛てたラブレターのような作品です。
 
日本国内のみCD化。
