■ラストのぐんまの山とともに泣く１０ねんまえのきよちゃん、におどろくタガララジオ８
ラストのぐんまの山とともに泣く１０ねんまえのきよちゃん、におどろく、この画像は現代アート最前線だろ、
２２日のカフェズミで座間裕子さんとマイケル・ピサロを聴いた感想を書いたタガララジオ８です。＞■
ここで書いたテキストを座間さんが英訳してくれました。おいらの文章は日本語ではのらりくらりしてるけど、英訳してみると音楽の本質に触れている、と、うれしいなー。韓国語や中国語に翻訳してくれるひとはいないかな。あれれ、サウンドのドラッグでしょ、は、そのまま英語でオッケーなの？ネイティヴチェックもするそうだから安心か。また、あの音楽は世界観の意識の美しさだ、と、文末に翻訳加筆しました。
‘July Mountain’ for field recording & percussion / Michael Pisaro, Greg Stuart (engraved glass p05) 2010
- Review by Masanori Tada
A limited release of 50 copies from a British contemporary classical music label. With a beautiful cover, I was told that this is a composition of percussion sounds and 20 field recordings, but the actual listening experience is something beyond the description.
I love to listen to the murmurs of the wind in the trees, the sound of rain, various sounds that occur when I ride a bicycle with my kids, while paying attentions to the perspective and the movement of each sound. This might be something similar to field recordings, but the difference between those sounds I hear and that music must lie in the composer's presence as an intermediary - who incorporates his clear aesthetics, thoughts and ideas into the materials of the recordings - prayerfully.
I saw Yuko Zama of the Erstwhile label again after ten years. When I heard her voice, I felt like I was time-tripped to ten years ago when I had a music talk with her for Out There magazine. I explained to her that my taste for music has changed after hearing Michel Doneda playing outdoor - towards the music that evokes in me environmental sounds like temple bells or the sounds of nature like murmurs of the wind in the trees - which are not really the sounds of nature but contain the similar feels and waves. I seldom listen to current improvised music these days. When I told her so, she said that a similar mindset is found in some of composer Michael Pisaro’s work. Then she played some music of Michael Pisaro at the Sound Cafe Dzumi in Kichijoji, so I had a chance to listen to his music for the first time.
This was like a sound drug - the customers who were there at the cafe including a young lady who loves noise music, a contemporary jazz fan, an artist, a recording engineer - all of them looked like they were straying away from their normal listening path to enter a new world. The cafe owner was so excited that he brought a LP of the Italian ambient music by Giancarlo Toniutti and said that he had a similar experience of discovering something completely new to him when he encountered this LP.
I cannot tell the exact differences of field recordings, noise music and ambient music in general, but I can tell that this "July Mountain" is definitely the most powerful music you can experience. You can read the more detailed story about Michael Pisaro in Yuko Zama's blog (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/yukoz/20100401/p1).
