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.

僕が創っているのは音楽だが、創作の動機や姿勢に関して、音楽家や作曲家からインスパイアを受けることは滅多にない。発明家、文筆家、映画監督、研究者、そしてさまざまな美術家のインタビューや著書、制作風景に触発されたり共感したりすることはしょっちゅうで、そのための探索は音楽を聴くのと同じくらい好きだ。 陶を素材とする造形作家、田中知美さんの「器を作ろうと思って陶芸を始めたのではない」という言葉がとても印象に残った。

1977年、NASAの宇宙探査機ボイジャー1号と2号は、金色のレコードを携えて果てしない宇宙へと旅立った。「ゴールデンレコード」と名付けられたその盤には、地球の自然音や画像、脳波データ、そして世界各地の音楽が約90分にわたって収められている。 日本の古典尺八の曲と並び、ひときわ異彩を放つのがブルガリアの歌手ヴァリャ・バルカンスカによる民謡だ。この曲自体に、我々を宇宙の深淵に引き込むかのような壮大な引力がある。

ふと中学受験の頃を思い出した。僕は小学校時代、関東、関西から九州まで転々とした。各地方の方言をマスターする(リスニングとスピーキング)のも大変だったが、一番衝撃だったのは、小学校4年の終わりに引っ越した県は公立、私立関係なく中学生は丸刈りが強制だったこと。体罰も普通だった。そのおかげで県外の私立中学校に進学しようと猛勉強したが、自分の中の「越境メンタリティ」はその辺りに形成されたのかも知れない。
