about

とりわけ最近は、AmbientやDroneといったものに組分けされる音楽を作る事が増えた。勿論自分が作りたい音をめがけた結果ここに行き着いたのだが、どうも他のアンビエントアーティストの楽曲を聴くと、私が追い求めるサウンド感とは少し距離があるような、そんな感覚をずっと抱えていた。そんな中見た映画が、名作『タイムマシン(英題:The Time Machine) / 2002年』だった。昔、地上波のロードショーで見たきりすっかり忘れており、うろ覚えではあったが、ロストフューチャー物?とでも言うべき荒廃した未来都市、「見覚えある」と「見覚えある」が混じり合い「見覚えない」に転化したカオスな世界観に久々に痺れたと共に、自分が表現したかったのは、音楽であって音楽でない、こういう惹かれる世界の音作りであったのかと、思わず手を打った。同時期に美術個展の会場音楽としてサウンドトラックの制作に当たっていた事もあり、今作はアルバムタイトルである'Irisphere'を題材とした「架空の映画サントラ」をコンセプトに制作した。タイトルの'Irisphere'は'Iris - 虹彩'と'Sphere - 球体'の造語である。ストーリーや登場人物等は敢えて示してはいない。楽曲たちのアンビエンスやアトモスフィアの中から、聴く方々の自由なイマジネーションに今作の世界観を委ねたいと思っている。

My recent work has become more like the kind of Ambient or Drone-style music. Needless to say, my music has evolved to the style where I’ve wanted it to be. But, when I listen to the music of Ambient artists, I can’t help the feeling that the sounds and the feelings are distanced from what I really wanted for my music. Meanwhile, I came across the movie, “The Time Machine (2002 film)”, which I’d even forgotten that I watched before. The story is about a devastated future city, kind of a “lost future” type of story that nothing can be recognizable after mixing and matching everything recognized before. The unique chaotic atmosphere of the movie completely fascinated me, and I suddenly realized so clearly that I even unintentionally clapped my hands, “This is something I’ve wanted for my music; a music but not a music.” Like this movie, I needed to create the sound of this kind of world that attracts us.
Then, I decided to start working on an album named “ Irisphere ” , which is a neologism of “ Iris ” and “Sphere ”. The concept of “Insphere” is about an “imaginary movie soundtrack”, influenced by my other work creating a soundtrack as the venue music for a solo art exhibition. It is a movie soundtrack, but there are no stories, characters, nor anything. It is totally up to the listeners’ imagination received from the music for the ambiance or atmosphere of this work.
