Theme of Operation Sound Recovery

Episode 13 - アルバム発売中止

20231004

Recently I mentioned that I had a cassette tape from over 40 years ago when The Takahashi Band of 82 made a demo track for a potential TV commercial. The track was only worked on for a day or two and then abandoned. I think we all had a busy year and for whatever reason this recording was discarded.

I also talked about sharing the recording one day just for nostalgic reasons, however the mix was a very basic end-of-day progress mix and no vocal part was conceived. Sharing it in this form would not do the potential of the work any justice.

The track began with chords and synths that Yukihiro Takahashi recorded, the basic building blocks of his composition. I added the drum part. Having been intensively rehearsing and performing Takahashi material this triggered a distinct blend of my own style as might appear on tracks such as 'The Art of Parties' and Yukihiro's style on tracks such as 'Glass'. Haruomi Hosono added his brilliance on bass, as well as Masami Tsuchiya overlaying guitar parts and Hajime Tachibana adding a saxophone solo.

Fast forward over 40 years....
 
At the end of 2023 I sent the demo to singer/songwriter Marco Machera, someone I’ve collaborated with a few times in the past and whose vocal style I felt would compliment the music. Yukihiro also enjoyed Marco's music, including it on his own radio show. I asked Marco to consider adding a vocal which he was happy to do, also composing lyrics too.

I used an AI program to break down the stereo mix of the original cassette recording into individual tracks (this is a relatively new technology and although the quality struggled it allowed for a little bit more flexibility with the mixing and blending of new overdubs). The performed parts were retained, and to which I recorded some additional instrumentation as well as joining Marco on the chorus vocals. I made a new mix of the track. So what we have here is the finished piece: “Impossible Until It Happens”. 

Marco and I share this as an homage to Yukihiro who passed away this time last year and is greatly missed. We can feel the essence of Yukihiro's writing style in this track and we hope that you enjoy it.

アヴァンギャルドノイズのポップなアプローチ？って感じの習作です。
どうでしょうか？

A pop approach to avant-garde noise? It's a study of a kind of "pop" approach to avant-garde noise.
What do you think?

Just A Little Bit (Korg Arp Odyssey Sound Demo)

煙を吐いて線を描いても
kemurio haite senwo kaitemo
すべてが同じに見えてしまうし
subetega onajini miete shimaushi
動かないし揺れもしないから
ugokanaishi yuremoshinai kara
こんなの意味がないこと
konnano imiga naikoto

街は知りたくないことばかりで
machiha shiritaku naikoto bakaride
夜なんかずっとそう
yorunanka zutto sou
壁の色が煙で変わるころには
kabenoiroga kemuride kawaru koroniha
彼女もここを出たらしい
kanojomo kokowo detarashii


生活の音を聴いてみても
seikatsuno otowo kiitemitemo
わたしはすぐに飽きてしまうし
watashiha suguni akiteshimaushi
服も地味な色ばかりだから
hukumo jimina irobakari dakara
こんなの意味がないこと
konnano imiga naikoto

街は知りたくないことばかりで
machiha shiritaku naikoto bakaride
この頃はずっとそう
konokoroha zutto sou
壁の色が煙で変わるころには
kabenoiroga kemuride kawaru koroniha
わたしもここから出ていたい
watashimo kokokara deteitai
