about

Guitarist Suomi Morishita is active on the jazz and improvised music scene mainly in the Kansai region (including Osaka and Kyoto), playing in numerous groups. Also an accomplished composer, in 2021 he released the ambitious debut album "Ein.", comprised mostly of his own compositions. Morishita also visits Tokyo and performs with Tokyo-based musicians every few months.

This album documents Morishita's trio performance at Ftarri with Tokyo residents Yuma Takeshita and Takashi Masubuchi in April 2021, when Morishita was visiting Tokyo. Previously, Yuma Takeshita's instrument was a remodeled bass made from various small self-made devices placed on an electric bass body. Since 2020, instead of the modified bass, he has been creating sound using mainly what he calls "Mechanized Instruments"--a tabletop arrangement of several varieties of box-shaped devices. Mechanized Instruments is the instrument he used in this performance as well. Morishita's main instrument is electric guitar, but he's also adept at inventing and playing self-made instruments. In this concert he placed a combination of self-made hand-operated small objects on a tabletop and, in addition to playing guitar, produced soft, delicate acoustic clicking noises (especially on track 2). Takashi Masubuchi, positioned between Morishita and Takeshita, spun out phrases on acoustic guitar with his characteristic soft touch.

This album contains two complete improvisations (both over 30 minutes) performed at the concert on April 19, 2021.

森下周央彌は関西を中心に、ジャズや即興音楽の領域でいくつものグループに参加し活動するギター奏者。作曲もこなし、2021年にはほぼ自作曲でまとめた意欲的デビュー・アルバム『Ein.』をリリース。森下は数ヶ月ごとに東京を訪れては、東京在住の演奏家との共演もおこなっている。

本アルバムは、森下が東京にやってきた2021年4月に、東京在住の竹下勇馬と増渕顕史とのトリオで Ftarri に出演した時の記録。竹下勇馬は、以前は種々の小型自作エレクトロニクス装置をエレクトリック・ベースのボディに装着した改造ベースを楽器として使用していたが、2020年からは改造ベースは使わず、「Mechanized Instruments」と称する数種の箱型自作装置をテーブルに配置してサウンドを作ることが多い。この日もこの Mechanized Instruments を使用。森下のメインの楽器はエレクトリック・ギターだが、実は自作楽器の考案・演奏も得意とする。このコンサートでは、小物類を組み合わせた手の込んだ自作装置をテーブルに置き、ギター演奏以外に、カシャカシャと細やかな弱音の生音ノイズも出していた (特に２曲目)。このふたりの間に増渕顕史が陣取り、アコースティック・ギターで彼独特の柔らかなタッチのフレーズを繰り出していく。

本アルバムには、2021年４月19日のコンサートでの即興演奏２曲 (どちらも30分を超える) を丸ごと収録。

This is the favourite dance or your new curly robots. They walk and ride on a very monotonous and fast peace bringing love and gamelan breeze from another metalic satellite. Sometimes the robots are tiny, as ants that dance in oval dishes.. and sometmes they are like trembling hands that move around the floor of interplanetary ships. bardotodolpablopicco
