i covered you song solitude.  i love your work.  best plingplongs ever.

I have just officially started my journey through music, and I'm grateful for the impact you've made with it.

Music to refresh an ear brought down by a lot of Ludovico Einaudi -- light, airy, and watery-rippling!

Machinone, an enigmatic artist who composes music based on "town (Machi)" in the broad sense of the word, will release his third album.  Acoustic guitar and small piano are spun in a simple and gentle manner.
On top of variously designed instruments and objects, a faintly imaginary world rises up and opens a new door.

Following the 1st album Tokyo, which depicts the west side of Tokyo, and Pieni, which expresses the compassion for the towns and small things in our memories, Machinone's third album is an imaginary wind letter that has arrived in our time. Using the title "Wind Letter" and the melody of the title track as a clue, Wind Letter was constructed with a slightly sci-fi story in mind. In addition to the gut guitars, small pianos, banjos, and prepared guitars that characterize Machinone's music, this album also features triangular analog string synthesizers, cheap keyboards, triangles, and denden taiko (Japanese pellet drum). The result is a varied and, in some songs, magical ensemble. From the keywords that influenced the album, such as Draisine, Chacun cherche son chat (Cédric Klapisch), Niewinni Czarodzieje (Andrzej Wajda) and Frank Patterson's Cycling Eutopia, as well as the stories brought by the various invisible forms of wind indicated in the song titles, may give you a sense of longing for the near future and the past that does not exist, and a soft look at contemporary society. The world changed dramatically during the making of this album, and the songs that were created to dispel this change are a collection of small pieces that have a hint of brightness and comicality, and give a sense of a new swing for Machinone as a musician.

Paniyolo, whom released many guitar albums from Schole Records, is releasing an duo name album with a vocalist Miho Ota, who has been active in music scene using her own unique singing style, such as collaborating with Norwegian traditional music “Joik”, and founded a female choir group “CANTUS” to tell the beauty of church music which Japanese are not familiar with.

On the sunny day of May 2021, in the woods located 1000m above sea level of Nagano Prefecture, the music was recorded with the birds chirping in between the songs.

Ota’s singing characteristic is known as her powerful and straight tone voice, but she sealed using this method in this album.  She purposely controlled her voice to mp (mezzo piano) and sung calmly and closely with Paniyolo’s guitar.

Most of the songs were composed by exchanging mails, Paniyolo sends the guitar riff and Ota responds by adding the vocal to it.

In this conceptual album, listeners will feel the solid emotions overflowing in our daily life from these quiet and calm music pieces.

Recording and mastering by Katsunori Fukuoka from Flysound, photography by Momoka Omote, and artwork by Shin Kikuchi from SCHOLE.

Schole Records から多くのギター作品を発表しているPaniyoloが、日本では馴染みのない教会音楽の美しさを伝えるべく聖歌隊「CANTUS」を発足したり、ノルウェーの伝統音楽「ヨイク」とコラボレーションするなど、独自のスタイルで音楽活動を貫くボーカリスト太田美帆とのダブルネームアルバムをリリースします。

2021年5月のある晴れた日、長野県にある標高1000mの森の中で録音された本作の曲間では野鳥が楽しげにさえずっています。
力強くストレートに歌いあげる歌唱が特徴の太田ですが、今作ではその手法を封印しました。意図的にmp(メゾピアノ)程度に音量を抑え、Paniyoloのギターに寄り添い歌っています。
曲の殆どはPaniyoloがギターリフをメールで送り、太田がそれにヴォカリーズを付け送り返すという往復書簡のような作業で進められました。
静かで優しい音楽の中にも、日々の暮らしから零れる確かな思いを感じる事のできる、芯のある作品となりました。

録音およびマスタリングは Flysound 福岡功訓、写真は表萌々花、アートワークは SCHOLE の菊地慎が担当しています。
