昨年の10月に、岡本太郎記念館で開催された写真展「日本の原影, 10月30日ー2月24日」のために制作した即興演奏から、チェロのソロ１曲、ベースソロ３曲の全４曲です。
岡本太郎氏が東北と沖縄を撮影した写真を収めた２冊の写真集を読んだ後に、この録音をしました。この本には、太郎氏が50年代と60年代に撮影した写真がたくさんあります。人、動物、自然、彼らの生活、文化など、彼の写真に現れているものの背後にある物語を想像しつつ...同時に、写真を見るために博物館に来る鑑賞者の皆さんについても考えました。
鑑賞者と写真の間に入ってしまって音が邪魔にならないよう、その代わりによく響く展示室でごく小さなボリュームで音楽を流して、鑑賞者の呼吸に沿うような存在感で生々しいアンビエントサウンドとして聞くことで、鑑賞者の想像力や体験性を高める手助けになれれば良いなーと。
タイトルになっているそれぞれの言葉について。カディは風、ファファはおばあさん、ウプシュはおじいさん、ヌチは命です。これらの言葉は、沖縄/与那国諸島の言葉です。ここの古い文化、生活様式は本当に生き生きとしていて、素晴らしいものがあります。敬意をもって琉球語を使わせていただきました。スペルはわからなかったのでかなり適当ですが。
ちなみに！バンドキャンプは今日14時~明日14時までの1日、手数料をとらない方法でミュージシャン支援をしています。購入寄付してくれた方々の金額がそのままミュージシャンへ渡ります。全曲フルで視聴可、よかったらポチってやって下さい。

These 4 tracks are all improvised music. It was recorded in October 2019 for Taro Okamoto's photo exhibition "Nihon no Gen-ei (An original image of Japan)" which was held on Oct. 30 - Feb. 24 2020 at Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum in Tokyo.
I recorded these solo tracks after reading his two photo books about Tohoku and Okinawa. In this book there are a lot of photo Taro shoot back in 50's and 60's. I tried to imagine the story behind anything exposed on his photos, like people, animals, nature, their life, culture... but at the same time also thought about those people who come to the museum to see the photo.
I didn't want to get into between it, the visitors and Taro's photo. Instead of that I was hoping to be a some little thing that can help to bring their imagination and experience a bit wider, by hearing these music on a small volume in the exhibition room, almost as live ambient sound along their breathing.
Kadi is wind, Fafa is elderly woman, Upushu is elderly man, Nuchi is life. These words is used to (maybe still in some area) spoken in Okinawa/Yonaguni Islands south in Japan. Their old culture, the way of their life is amazing. I used their words for my improvised music titles with much respect... I hope you enjoy it.
Now Bandcamp started to support artists and labels have been hit especially hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. Here is what they say.
"To raise even more awareness around the pandemic’s impact on musicians everywhere, we’re waiving our revenue share on sales today (Friday, March 20th, from midnight to midnight Pacific Time), and rallying the Bandcamp community to put much needed money directly into artists’ pockets."
You can listen all 4 tracks in full length. Please go ahead to purchase it if you liked the music. Thank you.
