NHK BS "Gokujo Bi No Kyoen"

Tatsuya composed music and sound design for the introduction movie about Soga Shohaku (Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period) for NHK BS’s program “Gokujo Bi No Kyoen.”


This movie features his most impressive masterpiece called “Dragon and Cloud,” which is one of the collections by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and now exhibited in Tokyo National Museum (March 20 -June 10) .

Tatsuya worked together with creative director Noriyuki Tanaka for the movie, and took a unique approach by using sounds of Japanese traditional instruments such as Taiko, Shakuhachi, and theatrical voices as often heard in Kabuki. Check out the program aired on May 23th (Wed).

This is the “first version” of “Dragon and Cloud.” In the final version which was actually used on the program, the percussion elements of the former part were removed.

凹凸の少ないフローリングの部屋は、音を吸収するものがなく、壁や床で音が何度も反射してしまう。特にエネルギーの強いベース音は、部屋の角や壁際に溜まりやすい。見た目こそ洒落ているが、響きが「ライブすぎる」ため、リスニングならまだしも制作には全く不向きだ。今回突発的に思いついて、スピーカーのリアポート(背面の穴)に靴下を突っ込んでみた。この「ソックスチューニング」のおかげで、4畳半の和室のような、デッドで制作向きの音に仕上がった。

中学生の頃、当時人気のあった音楽雑誌に「たとえて言えばライオネル・リッチーは五木ひろし、ダイアナ・ロスは美空ひばり」という記事を見て、その比較の強引さに度肝を抜かれた。今考えると、それは単に「国民的人気歌手」だと言いたいだけで、音楽性やミュージシャンシップの話ではなかったと思う。 同様に、JBを北島三郎さんと並べるのもミスリーディングだ。ただし、いつ聴いても「まつり」の破壊力には畏れ入る。何か、のっけからスラップベース鳴ってない?

僕は動物を飼ったことがないが、子豚に関しては本気で飼いたいと思っていた時期がある。人間や羊、犬など身近な哺乳類には群れる習性があるが、実は種全体で見れば単独行動派が大半らしい。また、集団の作り方も動物によって千差万別だ。かつてチャーチルは「私は豚が好きだ。犬は我々を見上げ、猫は我々を見下すが、豚は我々を対等に扱ってくれる」と語ったという。その言葉が真実なのか、いつか豚に直接聞けたらと思っている。
