今回、お話をいただいてまず思ったのは、日常で使いやすく便利なものを作ってみたいということでした。芸術作品というよりは、道具や装置のようなものを目指して制作しました。

実際の制作にあたり、実現したかったのはコンピューターからイレギュラーに生成されていく新鮮さと、それぞれの音が心地よくシームレスに繋がっていくことを両立させることでした。

シームレスは得意でしたが新鮮さがうまく出せず、あれこれ悩んで進まない中、AISOチームとの打ち合わせの中で「YACHIMATA」という、以前に僕の半分趣味でやっていた楽曲シリーズの話が出てきて。ふと思いついて、試しに数曲を分解・調整して混ぜてみると、面白そうな手応えを感じました。

複数曲のフレーズ同士を混ぜるというのは経験がありませんでしたが、むしろ新しいものを一から作るのとは違った、意図しては生まれない新鮮さが感じられて、僕一人ではなくコンピューターと一緒に生み出せているような手応えがありました。

調整方法さえ固まると、完成までは一気に進みました。最終的にYACHIMATAシリーズから、2018年2月〜2021年5月までの38曲分の環境音やフレーズを取り出して、一つずつ調整して音の欠片としてAISOに埋め込みました。僕の住んでいる千葉・八街の四季折々の田んぼの音、様々な種類の生楽器や電子音などがたくさん入っています。

この「YACHIMATA」は新曲ではありませんが、既存曲とも言えないです。そもそも、これが曲なのかどうなのかもわからないです。僕にとってもはじめての、不思議な音楽になりました。

AISOと向き合う時間は、とても創造的で楽しい時間でした。このような不思議な音楽を作るチャンスを頂けた、AISOのみなさんに感謝します。

この音楽が、お使いいただくみなさんの日常に永く寄り添えるものになってくれたらうれしいです。

mü-nest x PLOP special collaboration series vol. 3: "Sonorité" by Teruyuki Nobuchika.

“Sonorite” is the talented Kyoto-based film composer Teruyuki Nobuchika's latest work – his long-awaited 2nd solo album after the critically acclaimed debut album “Morceau” (Schole label, 2009). Having composed so many cinematic scores for films and television drama series, Nobuchika decided to adopt a fresh approach in his 2nd solo album – to explore the possibilities of the piano. Using piano as the only instrument, Nobuchika beautifully crafted his signature melodies and sounds that magically transformed the moments of everyday life into scenes as if there were taken from a movie – they are simple, but yet rich, beautiful and undoubtedly breathtaking.

“Sonorite” is a classical and yet contemporary piano suite by Nobuchika that will surely makes one tremble with delicate emotion. Its subtle emotional sounds closely resembling wonderful works by peer pianist like Goldmund, Johann Johannsson, Hauschka, and Akira Kosemura, This long awaited original production is the 3rd co-release from mü-nest (Malaysia) and PLOP (Japan), following the wonderful albums from me:mo and Kyo Ichinose.

Table Music Meeting/Train Passing Through Our Heart

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.
