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.

(1/2) その昔「だまし絵」のエッシャーについて書かれた本を色々読んだ時期があった。『ゲーデル、エッシャー、バッハ―あるいは不思議の環』は今でも読み継がれている名著で、現在のAIの設計にも影響を与えたであろう「自己言及」について深堀りしている。ただ、著者が本当に模索していたのは、ここでは説明しきれていない(そして今のAI開発者が見落としがちな)『非言語的な混沌(カオス)の世界』に対する人間の認知の仕組みではなかったかと思う。

AIや機械学習の普及で、フィールドワーク(野外調査)をしない研究者が増えているという。開花時期の予測や鳥の移動パターンの観察など、データサイエンスが可能にする領域は多く、テクノロジーの貢献は大きい。ただ、それが現場経験の価値を失わせるわけではない。「自然に触れずして自然を研究する」ことに、ワクワクを感じ続けられるかは、その人の取り組み方や動機次第だと思う。音楽も同じようなところがある。

この「Rambler and Canter」は、田舎道を散策し、ときに駆けるような牧歌的な風景をイメージして作った曲。最初『Here and You』(2002)に収録されたこの曲、『New Classics Vol.1』(2018)のリリースにあたり、リズムや音のメリハリを調整した。当初は乗馬の映像を合わせていたが印象が弱く、シンクロ感のあるパンチの効いた素材を探すうちに、なぜか米国小売チェーンのCM風ショート動画に変貌してしまった(笑)。
