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.

ヌーテラやフィレロ・ロシェなど、数多くのチョコレート・ブランドを生み出したビジネスマン、ミケール・フェレロについてのポッドキャストを聴いた。90歳近くまで熱心に商品開発に関わっていたというから、さながらイタリアの安藤百福といったところか。片やウェブデザインソフトの会社Figmaが、1.5ビリオンドルの市場価値を目指して上場するという話題が。抜け目ない投資家に囲まれて30そこそこで億万長者になった創業者は、いつまでそのビジネスに愛着を感じるのだろうか。

楽器の演奏と同様に、ヴォーカルも単に巧い拙いだけで評価できるものではない。ただ、歌は音楽表現の中でも最も人間的で直接的な手段なので、楽器よりごまかしが効かないし、曲の魅力やキャラクターを左右する決定的な要素になりやすい。たとえば、バンドLake Street Diveのレイチェルのヴォーカルはとても良いと思うけど、もし彼女が僕のアルバムで歌ったら、バックトラックで僕らしさを出したとしても、聴いた感じは彼女の作品になってしまうだろう。

子供の頃、田舎の祖父母の家へ泊まりに行くと、夜空の星が驚くほどきれいだった。オリオン座や北斗七星が、手が届きそうなほどはっきり見えたのを今でも覚えている。今住んでいる街では、照明が明るすぎるのか、晴れていても星はほとんど見えない。天体望遠鏡を買っても意味がなさそうだし、ヘッドセットで夜空を疑似体験しても、どこか物足りない。やはり、次の旅行先には星空が美しい場所を候補に入れるのが良さそうだ。
