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 here (31 and 39 minutes respectively) were recorded at Akiyama's duo concert with percussionist Ryotaro Miyasaka at Ftarri on February 8, 2021.

Born in 1995, percussionist Ryotaro Miyasaka lives in Tokyo. In this concert he placed numerous percussion instruments on the floor--snare drum, bongos, cymbal, tambourine, bell, cowbell, etc.--and picked up one instrument at a time to produce various sounds. Akiyama played electric guitar and fired off a series of spiky, noisy sounds. The contrast between myriad colorful, dry percussion sounds and abstract guitar noise makes for an exquisite performance.

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。パーカッショニストの宮坂遼太郎と、2021年２月８日に Ftarri でおこなったデュオ・コンサートでの２曲 (31分と39分) を収録。

宮坂遼太郎は1995年生まれ、東京在住の打楽器奏者。この日のコンサートでは、スネア・ドラム、ボンゴ、シンバル、タンバリン、鈴、カウベルほか、いく種類もの打楽器を床に置き、その都度、異なる打楽器を手に取り様々な音を出す。秋山はエレクトリック・ギターを使い、かなりノイジーでギクシャクしたサウンドを放つ。いくつもの打楽器から生まれるカラフルな乾いた音と、アブストラクトなギター・ノイズの対比が絶妙な好演。
