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.

今の時代、「無関心でいられること」や「情報を遮断できること」は、時に関心や好奇心を持つこと以上に重要な態度であり、知性だと思う。西洋社会、特にアメリカでは何もしないことや黙ること、状況をただ静観することは、「敗北」や「無能」と結びつけられてきた。「即座に何か反応する」動的な姿勢こそが美徳とされてきたが、その美徳が現在、理性を食いつぶす最大の仇となって自分たちに返ってきているような気がする。

畑仕事にもガーデニングにも無縁だけれど、自分の生業(音楽制作とレーベル運営)は農業や庭作りに似ている点があると感じる。音楽は農作物のように天候や自然災害の影響を受けないし、雑草や害虫に頭を悩ませることもない。ただ、畑を耕し、作物を育て、収穫を待ちながら次の種をまくという「システムを設計し、サイクルを回して、徐々に成長させる」部分には共通性がある。この番組でジェレミーが設計するエコシステムは、反面教師かな(笑)。

「それは自律神経の乱れです!」最近は「自律神経」という言葉が科学的知見から離れ、一種の「マジックワード」と化しているところがある。海外でこの言葉(automatic nerve)を使うのは医療従事者くらい。身体や心の不調を「身体システム(神経)のせい」と捉える日本人と、「メンタル(脳・心)のせい」と考える西洋人。と単純化するのは良くないけれど、これに関しては日本の風潮の方が話がこじれにくくて合理的だと思う。
