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.

「言語化」ばかりがもてはやされる風潮には少し抵抗がある。英語圏の音楽ライセンス業界では、ずっと前から「自分の曲を言語化し、検索できるキーワードや説明に落とし込む力」が必須のスキルだった。知らない単語を覚えたことは勉強になったが、「耳で聴くものを文字にするほど野暮なことはない」という思いは今も強い。僕は絵心がないので、言語化よりも、伝えたいことや相手から聞いた情報を的確に絵にできる「視覚化能力(描写力)」がもっと欲しい。

次の作品をどうまとめようか思案中。久々に歌物を作りたいと思って数十曲スケッチを作ったのだけど、歌詞とヴォーカルをどうしようかと考え出すと途端に手が止まる。実は、僕は大の音楽好きの割に、言語を問わず、歌詞に注目して深く浸る事はあまりない。でも、中身のない言葉が載った曲は、言語を問わず、耐えられない(笑)。1971年の言葉が、2026年の今、色あせるどころか、むしろこれまでになく切実なリアリティを持って鳴り響く。

3月は事務作業が多く、音楽を浴びる時間が減る。散歩や運動中は語学番組やオーディオブックを聴くことが多く、音楽の出番が少ない。間もなく運動公園の近くに引っ越す予定なので、そこで音楽を聴きながら安全に歩こうと思う。日本では自転車の交通違反が厳格化されるが、歩行者にとって、接近してくる自転車の動きや距離感が(自動車のそれと違って)どれだけ予測不能で、ランダムで怖いかを、運転者側に理解・想像させるのは絶望的に難しい。
