about

This is one in a trilogy of live recordings made at Ftarri, Tokyo, documenting some of guitarist/improviser Tetuzi Akiyama's outstanding performances of 2021. The CD releases feature covers drawn by artist Shigeo Mizuta. The two tracks on this CD, each around 25 minutes in length, were recorded at Akiyama's duo concert with electronics player Leo Okagawa at Ftarri on June 21, 2021.

Okagawa is known for releases on overseas labels of many collage works using environmental sounds, noise and so on. He's also a gifted improviser on electronics. There's a highly effective contrast between Okagawa's sound, comprised mainly of static sustained tones, and the sound produced by Akiyama's electric guitar, which is dynamic and hard-edged and has a psychedelic feeling.

ギタリスト / 即興演奏家、秋山徹次の2021年の好調ぶりを記録した東京 Ftarri でのライヴ録音を、画家の水田茂夫が描き下ろした絵をCDジャケットにフィーチャーしてリリースする三部作の一枚。エレクトロニクス奏者の岡川怜央と、2021年6月21日に Ftarri でおこなったデュオ・コンサートでの25分前後の２曲を収録。

岡川は環境音やノイズなどを使ったコラージュ作品を海外のレーベルから多数リリースして知られるが、エレクトロニクスを使った即興演奏もおこなう逸材。岡川の静的な持続音主体のサウンドと、秋山のエレクトリック・ギターが繰り出すサイケ感を伴った動的で硬質なサウンドが対照を成し、大きな効果をあげている。
