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.

ドキュメンタリー「イマジニアリング」を見て再確認できることは、テクノロジーはあくまで「手段」であり、クリエイティブこそがその「目的」であるという事実。 本来、表現したいものがあるからこそ技術は発展してきた。しかし、昨今は手段(テクノロジー)が目的(クリエイティブ・社会的意義)を飲み込んでしまっているようにも感じる。 だからこそ今、あえて「テクノロジーを使わないクリエイティブ」に宿る価値を、深く考える習慣を取り戻したい。

ディズニーのイマジニアや、マペット作家ジム・ヘンソンのドキュメンタリーを見たくて、これまで縁のなかったディズニー・プラスに入会してみた。「イマジニアリング〜夢を形にする人々」は、熱心なディズニーファンでなくても、ものづくりやクリエイティブなことに興味のある人なら見て損はしない内容だと思う。トレイラーを紹介したかったのだが、それよりも自分のショート動画を紹介したい衝動が勝るので(笑)、MER『Monkey Business』をお楽しみください。

その昔、香港へDJツアーで出かけたとき、熱気でむせかえるインド人街で大ヒット映画『Disco Dancer(’82)』のVHSを買った。「インドにディスコ、それって最高じゃん!」とハチワレばりに小躍りしながら自宅のビデオデッキに入れると、映像は激しく乱れ、音だけがかすかに聞こえてくる…。インドの規格はPAL方式だったのだ。あの時は諦めざるを得なかった伝説の映画が、今やYouTubeで普通に見られるとは。しかも1.3億再生って、どんだけ人気やねん(笑)。
