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.

「(広告や商業)デザインは自分を消すことだ」という意見があると聞く。僕の生業では、表現から自分を消したら終わり。ただ、万が一その手の仕事をするならば、商品やサービスを実際に使う生活者(エンドユーザー)にとってその表現が「善かどうか」で判断したい。現実的にはお金を払うクライアントがOKを出してくれれば仕事として成立するが、課題を解決し、本当にハッピーにしなければいけない相手はその先にいる。「自分問題」はそもそも課題の次元にはない。

阪神・淡路大震災から31年。あの日、仕事場へ着くと皆がテレビに釘付けで、画面越しに戦慄が走った。1月17日の早朝に地震が発生してから、実家と連絡がついたのは数日後の夜だったと記憶している。両親は家具の下敷きになりかけながらも無事だった。東京にいた僕は安否を案じることしかできなかったが、震災はその後の自分の生き方を確実に変えた。

AI 特集の番組で、タモリさんが 「人間性(を賛美すること)そのものが胡散臭い」と語っていた。案の定、出演者の誰もその発言の真意を確かめようとしなかった。ヴィクトール・フランクルは「過剰自己観察」という言葉で、自意識過剰がもたらす心身の疲労や機能不全を説明したが、人は「自分の前に鏡を置き、自分のことばかり考える」傾向がある。AIと人間のやり取りは、まさにこの「自己観察(言語化)の無限ループ」に陥る可能性をはらんでいる。
