MIMINOIMI podcast #05
 (Like deer walking their own path) 
by DJ Yudetaro

Sometimes I see deer around my studio.
They don't use the roads made by humans, but cross them and walk freely through fields and forests.
I thought they moved very naturally, relaxed and lightly. In contrast, humans built the roads themselves, but walk along them feeling cramped and irritated.
In this mix, I selected songs ad lib, following my intuition, without any specific intention or purpose, while gazing at the birds in my garden.

- Listening to Summer Insects -
by FeLid @64thnote

In August 2025, I went camping alone in Hadano City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
As I was setting up my tent upon arrival, I noticed that I was surrounded by the sound of a flowing river and the chirping of cicadas, so I decided to record the ambient sounds of the moment.
I mixed the recording with a selection of tracks I've been listening to recently, both old and new, as well as fragments of music I'm currently working on.

Coincidentally, in 2024, during the MIMINOIMI-hosted Ambient/Week program, Keiko Torigoe (soundscape researcher) spoke about the Edo-period practice of “listening to insects.”  
The practice resonates with the famous concept of John Cage's *4'33"*, but she explained that Japanese people had been naturally practicing this for centuries.

2025年8月、神奈川県秦野市へ一人でキャンプに出かけました。
到着してテントの設営をしていると、川の流れる音やセミの鳴き声に囲まれていることに気がつき、せっかくなのでその時の環境音を記録しておこうと思い録音。
その録音を背景に、新旧を問わず最近よく聴いているトラックや制作中の断片を織り交ぜてミックスしました。

ちょうど2024年、MIMINOIMI主催 Ambient / Week のプログラムで、鳥越けい子氏が江戸時代の「虫聴き」という文化について話されていました。
虫の声に耳を澄ませ、環境そのものを楽しむという感覚はジョン・ケージの《4分33秒》にも通じますが、日本人はそれを以前から自然に実践していたのだと説明されていました。

FeLid (MIMINOIMI,C ENTR A L)
"FeLid is the solo project of Kazutoshi Eguchi.

Incorporating instruments such as guitars and synths, as well as sounds that exist in everyday life as materials, he combines and deconstructs them without being bound by rules, pursuing the harmony hidden in the imperfect and abstract with his unique sensibility, and continues to explore new musical expression through an experimental approach.

His performance style varies from DJ to DJ and live performance site to site, attempting to improvise in the most appropriate way for the moment.
In the midst of this experimental process, he released a 10-track, 30-minute album “IN” on his own label, C ENTR A L, in 2021, which delves deep into his own inner world.

On December 31, 2023, he released “Karesansui in the air”, a work inspired by “Karesansui”.

by Soloi Sounds @monotone-orchestra

For this mix, I selected some beautiful tracks that were released during the pandemic—(most likely) produced in Japan. While I feel a bit uneasy about drawing a simple connection between COVID-19 and ambient music, I put this together as a way of recalling the many experiments and explorations that were happening at that time.
(The mix title reflects the release period of the tracks featured.)

今回のミックスではコロナ禍にリリースされた（おそらく）日本で制作された素敵な楽曲を選んでみました。コロナとアンビエントっぽいものを安易に結びつけるのもモヤっとしますが、あの時期にいろんな試みが行われていたことを思い出しつつ作成してみました。
（Mixタイトルは使用させていただいた楽曲の発表期間になります）
