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.

パンチの効いたビートやボーカルを作る際、アタックにTR-808のハイハットやホワイトノイズを薄く重ねると、キックやスネアの解像度が劇的に上がることがある。ハット特有の鋭い「チッ」という音には、10k〜16kHz付近の非常に純度の高いエネルギーが含まれているからだ(単体で聴くとキツイ)。この帯域を超えると人間には聞こえない「超音波」の領域に入るが、犬にとってはここからが本番の可聴範囲となる。犬笛を眺めながら、そんな音の境界線に思いをはせる。

ハリウッド映画界には「Temp Love」という用語がある。制作が猛烈なスピードで進むため、最終的な劇伴が完成するまで、映像には多くの「仮の音楽」が当てられる。有名曲等が使われると、監督はその曲に執着し、作曲家に酷似した曲を求めてしまう。この「仮の音楽への執着とプレッシャー」への対応に苦心する作曲家は多いようだ。僕の既存曲が映像に使われるのは歓迎だけど、あえて書き下ろしの仕事を請けないのは、こうした風潮も理由の一つかもしれない。

この「Rakuen」という曲は、2019年リリースの『Oceans』に収録されているが、最初のバージョンを作ったのはそのずっと前、OE『Director’s Cut』を制作していた頃だったと思う。曲の雰囲気の通り南の島をイメージして作ったのだけれど、当時実際に行ったことのある島は沖縄くらいだった。その後、常夏の島で暮らしてみた後でこの曲を聴くと、頭に浮かぶ映像が俄然リアルなものになった。年中半袖&短パン生活を目指して、今日も頑張るか(笑)。
