about

Ayami Suzuki, a musician based in the Tokyo area, performs a unique kind of ambient drone using electronics and voice. Since 2020 she has been performing at Ftarri in Tokyo, both as a soloist and with other musicians. Acclaimed guitarist Tetuzi Akiyama is active on the international improvised music scene. In 2021 Akiyama gave many outstanding performances at Ftarri; recordings of a number of these concerts were subsequently released as CDs. "Allelopathy" is one of these recordings.

Akiyama and Suzuki performed together at Ftarri on October 10, 2021. This CD contains two of the pieces they played in that concert. In alignment with Suzuki’s characteristic ambient drones and carried along on her electronics and Akiyama’s electric guitar playing, a voice performance incorporating Suzuki’s cryptic word-like sounds unfolds calmly and spaciously throughout. This superb work abounds in entrancing charm.

鈴木彩文は東京界隈を中心に活動する音楽家。エレクトロニクスとヴォイスを使って、独特なアンビエント・ドローンを演奏する。東京、水道橋の Ftarri には、2020年からソロや他の演奏家との共演で定期的に出演を続けている。秋山徹次は即興音楽シーンで世界的に活躍するギター奏者。2021年の Ftarri での秋山は素晴らしい演奏を何度も披露し、それらの多くはその後CDリリースされることとなる。本アルバムもその一枚。

秋山と鈴木は2021年10月10日に Ftarri で共演。本CDには当日のライヴ演奏２曲を収録。鈴木らしいアンビエント・ドローンに沿った演奏で、鈴木のエレクトロニクスと秋山のエレクトリック・ギターの演奏に乗って、鈴木の怪しげな言葉もどきを交えたヴォイス・パフォーマンスが全面にゆったりと展開される。幻惑的な魅力に満ちた快作。

Delightful album! The piano skill, with purposely driven restraint has hints of Feldman. One rarely finds such appreciation for the silence between the notes. Richard Erickson
