静けさに気づいて

This is an excerpt from one of the four longform tracks on this album, all of which are distinct excursions into a personal landscape of organic and broken melodic meanderings…the slapping spokes of a bicycle ridden through the tall grass, the swish of the walking stick, the buzz of the fly on the manure and the mysteriously subtle drone like chattering and burbling of the deepest countryside. Plaintive…melancholic…beatific…this is the loveliest of soundtracks to a simple life well lived away from the maddening crowd, and without regret.

Orla Wren " The Blind Deaf Stone"...  ancestral lines - the wooden sea

2021/03/07 Release

これは思想犯の所業とでも言えるであろうか。
未踏峰であり、現在はネパール政府によって登山そのものが禁止されている霊峰、マチャプチャレ。
keisuke s_d_の最新作は、その山頂へと登る事をイメージして製作された30分を超える大作ドローンである。
曲の始まりから徐々に広がりを見せる荒涼感と質量を伴った音の波はリスナーの視覚に作用し、あたかも猛吹雪の中で歩みを進めているかの様な、仄暗く不明瞭な映像を映し出す。
耳を刺激するノイズや高周波音は、激しい突風や雪崩といった生命の危機と遭遇する瞬間の緊迫感を想起させ、過酷な環境に置かれた人間が陥る極限状態の心理までをも描写しているかの様だ。
益々前後不覚右往左往の様相を呈していく後半部分では、立体的な音像の数々が様々な自然現象とリンクし、障壁となって我々の眼前にその姿を現わす。
その一方で、時折訪れる一瞬の静寂は安堵を与えてくれるわけでもなく、唯そこに在るだけのものとして、妙な現実味を突き付けてくるのみである。
時空間変化を自在に操る事でリスナーの知覚へより強くアプローチし、山中における沈黙と覚醒が無慈悲に繰り返されるーーー本作には"自然"表現の徹底したリアリズムが存在していると言えるだろう。
終いには巨大なクレバスの奥底へと引きずり込まれる様にして全ての音が遠ざかっていくが、果たして登頂者は山頂へ到達する事が出来るのだろうか。
この死地へ足を踏み入れるのは他の誰でもない、貴方である。

Is this the work of a thought criminal?
Machhapuchhare, a sacred mountain that is unexplored and is currently prohibited from climbing by the Nepalese government.
The latest work of keisuke s_d_ is a masterpiece drone that exceeds 30 minutes and was created with the image of climbing the mountaintop.
Sound waves with a sense of desolation and mass that gradually spread from the beginning of the song act on the listener's vision, projecting a dark and unclear image as if walking in a blizzard. ..
Does the noise and high-frequency sound that stimulate the ears remind us of the sense of urgency at the moment of encountering a life-threatening situation such as a severe gust of wind or an avalanche, and even describe the psychology of the extreme state of a human being placed in a harsh environment? It looks like.
In the latter half of the scene, which is becoming more and more unconscious, the three-dimensional sound images are linked to various natural phenomena and appear as barriers in front of us.
On the other hand, the moment of silence that comes from time to time does not give relief, it only gives a strange reality as if it were just there.
By freely manipulating spatiotemporal changes, he approaches the listener's perception more strongly, and silence and awakening in the mountains are ruthlessly repeated. It can be said that this work has a thorough realism of "natural" expression. ..
At the end, all the sounds go away as if they were dragged into the depths of a huge crevasse, but can the climber reach the summit?
It is you, no one else, who steps into this fatal position.
