Welcoming back Personal Space with a very special mix from dear friend and musical mind Karl Halliday. Recorded in the backyard of Joseph Street in April '25 amongst close friends. Karl sets the mood below a grey humid sky unearthing some of his favourite new-wave, post-punk, ebm & industrial leaning records from his collection. Karl weaves together a soundscape of emotive sounds & vulnerability, drawing connections to moments shared with friends & moments of inwards musical discovery. 

"When asked to reflect on my relationship with music, my initial impulse is to celebrate how I owe my dearest, most enduring friendships to a harmonious love of song and dance. My personal space is a social space, a community whose coming together signals more than common taste, but a collective desire for shared experiences and to share experiences. Here, presenting my favourite music, the sort I seldom get to play, I offer an experience I wish to share with you. Spirit propels discovery. I hope you enjoy." - Karl Halliday

宇治香園からのご挨拶

2015年、宇治香園の創業百五十年時の記念品に端を発するTealightsoundは、「記念品であり、茶をテーマとした協働作品であり、コンセプト媒体である」という特異な成り立ちにもかかわらず、多くの方々のご協力のもと、おかげさまで現在11作を数えています。

本年は、そのTealightsoundが11年目を迎える年であり、これまで10年間の流れを踏まえ、未来を展望するような媒体を制作したいと考えました。

そこで、文筆家・選曲家の原雅明さんに、音楽的な観点からこのシリーズを捉えていただき、概論をお書きいただきました。

また、Tealightsound最初の作品、「SOMETHING IN THE AIR─the soul of quiet light and shadow layer─」を制作いただきましたCOMPUMAさんには、11作品の楽曲を使用したミックス作品を制作いただきました。

いずれも「読むお茶」「聴くお茶」としてお楽しみいただけましたら幸いです。

なお、表題はCOMPUMAさんのミックス作品のタイトルが素晴らしく、ご本人の許可を得て使用させていただきました。感謝申し上げます。

宇治香園 小嶋 宏一

"Tealightsound"について  

宇治香園は、お茶の提供を通じてすこやかな暮らしのお手伝いをしたいと考えています。

そしてそのお茶の核心は、豊かな彩りと響きに満ちた体感にあります。

一般的にお茶は単なる飲み物として捉えられていますが、それを飲む瞬間、たった一口の刹那でさえつぶさに観察すると、そこには絶えざる変化を伴う体感が見出されます。そしてこの感覚は、オーロラのように変化する色のようであり、お寺の鐘の音がアタックから減衰してゆくゴオォォォォォンという音を聴いたときの感覚のようでもあります。

宇治香園はこの三つの体感の要素、茶と光と音の統合を、Tea + Light + Sound =“Tealightsound"として探求しています。

この試みが、すばらしい音楽、アート、写真、デザインの融合として楽しんでもらうきっかけとなるだけでなく、茶を淹れ味わうことに伴う地理的及び環境的制約を越えて、お茶の核心にふれてもらうきっかけにもなることを願っています。

On "Tealightsound"

Ujikoen, a Japanese tea company founded in 1865 in Kyoto, Japan, has a vision of bringing joy through the quintessence of sencha Japanese tea. The company's experiment “Tealightsound" is produced based on its concept that tea (Japanese tea), light, and sound are—despite their different appearances—similar in terms of the invisible sensations they generate that continuously change.

Although Japanese tea is generally recognized as simply a drink, careful observation of the drinking moment, even a sip or taste, will reveal a sensation involving continuous change. And this sensation strongly resembles to the one evoked when hearing the attack and decay of a church bell sound, ding-dooooong, as well as to ever-changing colors (like the aurora borealis).

The experiment integrates and explores the three elements: tea, light, and sound. The company hopes it will be an opportunity not only to enjoy the fusion of wonderful music, art, photography, and design but also to experience the quintessence of sencha Japanese tea beyond geographical and/or environmental constraints involved in making and tasting Japanese tea.

Tealightsound 10 Years & The Future - Mixed by COMPUMA

Representing the city of Geneva here is Second Circle affiliate Androo (androo-3) with his "m'enfin?!" mix in the MFM series. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Androo, thanks for contributing. For the readers who haven't been to Geneva before, could you describe the city a bit in terms of culture?

A: Mmmh, there are many things to say about the city. I feel that my generation came just after a certain “golden age” of the “underground” music culture. Geneva had a lot of squats during the 90s and early 2000s but now the political situation isn’t the same. Today we don’t have many non-normative venues allowing experimentally and who aren’t based on economic profit. For me, there is a certain vision missing from various clubs in the city. It feels sad that filling the room seems more important than exploring and defend other ones. I feel the potential of night culture and dance which is based on the collective energy of a certain youth is channeled into a kind of apolitical and dull consumption. I wish one day, the night may serve to create more spaces for political and experimental moments! But there is something amazing going on in Geneva, it’s the sound system scene. 

MFM: Your music as Androo sounds quite melodic and touches many different styles in an oddball kind of way. Where does all that come from? 

A: I was playing the piano when I was a child but I wasn’t working really hard (what’s work when you play?), I always preferred composing little things. There was also music in church. Later, I’ve had some reggae bands. I have always been a bit romantic with music. But the real explosion was the discovery of the sound systems culture. Every two months there was the Dubquake organised by OBF in Geneva (it’s still going strong!). Their style was informed by new wave melodies and futuristic dub sound, their sound and musical explorations created something really physical, experience! Around the same time I discovered what the music studio can be. You mix a new song and the same night you play it out, without a fuss, dubplate style. Later I opened up to other stuff and soon tried to bring together irreconcilable things. For more than a year now, I dived deep into jazz piano and contemporary music. Every day I do exercises, scales, etc, some of them become musical compositions. 

MFM: Could you take us on a tour through your studio? What's the vibe like, what's in there?

A: There is a mixing console with external effects, everything is done live. This is how I learnt it from the dub. I don’t do much arrangement on the computer, the track is being built at the console: you remove the bass now and then put a delay on the piano, everything is recorded in one take. It’s about the hands. There are some mistakes and you let them be, that is what makes music alive. There are some synths and drum machines, boxes of matches, wood pieces. I am just trying things out, it’s kind of a space for experimentation. It’s about researching, letting problems appear, chance is also important. Not everything is smoothen out, it’s about acceptation. You throw stuff on the floor, you accept them and then start from there.

MFM: Are you keeping it strictly to writing and recording music?

A: For now I don’t do electronic live acts. But I do piano lives. I keep them raw and experimental, so in a way it’s also influenced by the dub. I have been DJing since quite some time now. I approach mixing a bit like editing in cinema, I try to do cuts, rapprochements and loose associations. DJing is also somehow about friendship, the fact of doing, of organising parties together. Djing is great but feels a bit repetitive most of the time so I try to propose other things with DJ May and other. We are both drawn to cinema and theatre. So we started to read texts in the middle of a set, adding small dance pieces or even mixing silence. For us it’s about proposing simple and non extraordinary little experiences.
