“When I go into the nature and focus on particular sounds as if I were the conductor, I find there are numerous accidentally composed music playing here and there. And my idea was to join this nature orchestra providing sounds to them to form another different world which would enable myself to listen to them from a completely different angle.
I decided to use water as the main theme as I’m somehow attracted to them maybe as I grew up in a place where it’s cloudy and raining all year around. Sounds evolved accidentally from different places of different period and times, and that very moment I played / not played to them. To me, it was full of excitement to join the nature. Some sounds were able to record upon countless visits, and some just happen to be lying there. I tried different approaches so that people can enjoy and face each and every sounds. It would be my pleasure if you can listen to the happenings and the inevitable, and also conscious and the subconscious. “

この作品は、自然の中で自然の音と共に演奏をし、後に多重録音などをしないというコンセプトで作った作品です。
僕は自分が指揮者にでもなったつもりで音を選んで聴けば、身の回りには常に偶然に作曲された音楽が溢れていると考えていました。
そして、その偶然のオーケストラに自分も参加し、自分が音を足すことで全く別の聴き方が出来たり、自然の音が自分で演奏しているかのように感じられたり、無かった世界を生むことが出来ると考えていました。
作品のモチーフに水を選んだのは、年中雨や曇りの土地で育ったからなのか、昔から水の音や水っぽい場所に惹かれていて、何かを創作する際に水をモチーフにし続けてきたからです。
色々な年月、色々な場所で、その時間、その瞬間に偶然鳴った音。
ある瞬間に自分が鳴らした音、鳴らさなかった音など、自然と一緒に演奏をする醍醐味が作品内に詰まっています。
何度も何度も何度も通い尽くして録音出来た音や、たまたまそこに居たから録れた音など、1音1音とじっくりと向き合ってもらえるよう色々と趣向を凝らしました。
偶然と必然、作為と無作為なんかを意識しながら聴いてもらえたら良いなぁと思います。

E.S.V - ロンロン・旬！・よい〜ん

時計台のほうへ行こう
君の町が遠くに見えるよ

頼りないな どうでもいいや
なんだかずっと胸が痛いな

歌うたおう 大きな声で
なんだっていいさ 遠くまで届け

時計台のほうへ行こう
鐘を鳴らして みんなを起こそう

遠くに聞こえるサイレンの音に
かすかに犬の声が混ざって
世界が２つ重なって揺れる
なんだかずっと胸が痛いな

まだ覚えてるよ

Great song.

ランデヴー　塊
股間の距離　黒い味
画面の波　不動マシン
湖面の森　ひどい価値
三軸の手とアンソニー
ボヘミアン・仮・ラプソディ
懸念の星　細道
グネリと捻り鉢巻

扁桃腺の海で立ってみたり
狂ってみたり振るってみたり
人気の固形の中で
目立ってみたり粘ってみたり

サムバディトゥナイ向井
木綿の白いハンカチ
黒光りの長渕
布袋と氷室は仲良し
車3つで轟
破片の端　仮屋崎
蛍の光　窓の月
閉店間際の苦瓜

扁桃腺の海で立ってみたり
狂ってみたり振るってみたり
人気の固形の中で
目立ってみたり粘ってみたり

雨の浮かぶ街は
包み込む　足音も
何も言わずに　傘をたたく
音に乗って　歩くのは
君の世界を　隠すため　

雨の日は
　
騒がしい街は　何も知らない
空の色も　うつむいても
憂鬱を手に　握ってゆけば
まだ歩ける　気がするよ今日は
