about

Tokyo-based sound artist Leo Okagawa, who started making field recordings in 2014, creates multilayered collage works from elements such as recorded environmental sounds, analog noise and electronic sound. His works include "something veiled" (Unfathomless, 2019) and "Ulysses" (Glistening Examples, 2020). Okagawa collaborates with a variety of musicians and labels in Japan and other countries, and has released several recordings. He started performing improvisation in 2017. With the electronics used in his creation process, he explores the structural possibilities of sound produced through the combination of simple tones. The CD "in the quiet room" (hitorri-886), a recording of a solo concert he performed at Ftarri, was released in 2019.

Born in Fukushima Prefecture in 1993, electric bass player Masatake Abe performs jazz and improvised music mainly in Tokyo. In 2017 he launched his own jazz group, influenced by drummer Paul Motian. Since then he has continued performing jazz, most frequently in a guitar trio with Tokutaro Hosoi (guitar) and Jiro Iwamoto (drums). Abe also developed a strong interest in improvised music, which he started performing in 2018. He has been appearing at Ftarri since he performed in a trio concert there with Kokichi Yanagisawa (guitar) and Fumi Endo (piano) in September 2020.

This album contains two performances by Okagawa and Abe recorded live at Ftarri in 2021. Both are trios—track 1 with viola player Yoko Ikeda (recorded February 22), and track 2 with pianist Fumi Endo (March 1).

岡川怜央は、東京在住のサウンド・アーティスト。2014年よりフィールド・レコーディングを始め、録音した環境音やアナログ・ノイズ、電子音などを多層的にコラージュした作品を制作している。主な作品は、『something veiled』(Unfathomless, 2019) や『Ulysses』(Glistening Examples, 2020) など。国内外のさまざまな音楽家やレーベルと交流し、リリースを重ねる。また、2017年からは即興演奏にも取り組む。制作で使用しているエレクトロニクス類を用いて、シンプルなトーンの組み合わせによる音の構造的な可能性を模索している。2019年に、Ftarri でのソロ演奏を収録したCD『in the quiet room』 (hitorri-886) をリリース。

阿部真武は1993年生まれ、福島県出身のエレクトリック・ベース奏者。都内を中心にジャズと即興音楽の領域で活動している。2017年に、ドラマーの Paul Motian に影響を受けた自身のジャズ・グループをスタート。その後、細井徳太郎（ギター）、岩本次郎（ドラムス）とのギター・トリオを中心にジャズの演奏を続ける。また、即興音楽にも強い興味を持つようになり、2018年より即興演奏の活動を始める。Ftarrri には2020年9月に柳沢耕吉（ギター）、遠藤ふみ（ピアノ）とのトリオ以来、出演を続けている。

本アルバムには、岡川 + 阿部の Ftarri でのライヴ録音2曲を収録。1曲目はヴィオラ奏者の池田陽子 (2021年2月22日) を、2曲目はピアニストの遠藤ふみ (2021年3月1日) を迎えての、どちらもトリオによる演奏。

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

Although it is a monaural recording, on the contrary, it gives a feeling of lo-fi, and I think that the sound quality is my favorite. asaemon0725
