MIMINOIMI podcast #23
- Fluxonic -
by Yoichi Kamimura

This track is based on field recordings captured by Kamimura during his stay in Iguazú, Argentina, in 2024. You can occasionally hear the sounds of a sound meditation session that took place at the foot of Iguazú Falls, the largest waterfall system in the world. Serving as the foundation of the track are underwater sounds from the Paraná River, which flows along the border between Argentina and Uruguay; the riverbed stones can be heard rolling and colliding as they resonate underwater with the current. The piece also incorporates water sounds from various places Kamimura has visited, including frozen rivers in northern Lapland, Finland, the Lake Biwa Canal in Kyoto, and the Seto Inland Sea of Japan.

このトラックは2024年に上村がアルゼンチンのイグアスに滞在した時のフィールドレコーディングをベースに作られている。世界最大の滝イグアスのふもとで行われたサウンドメディテーションの音が時折聴こえ、トラック全体のベースとして、アルゼンチンとウルグアイの国境を流れるパラナ川の水中音には、川底の石が水の流れで転がりぶつかり合う音が水中で反響している。また、これまで上村が訪れたフィンランド北部ラップランドの凍った川の水や、京都の琵琶湖疏水、瀬戸内海など、世界各地の水の音も含まれる。

MIMINOIMI (from JPN), the organizer of the festival Ambient / Week, is now launching a podcast.
With a focus on introducing adventurous music, building creative networks domestically and internationally, and fostering collaboration across diverse fields, MIMINOIMI aims to bring these goals to life even further.
