about

Yasumune Morishige and Akaihirume are musicians based in Tokyo. Morishige is a cellist who primarily performs improvisation, and collaborates with many musicians and dancers from Japan and other countries. Akaihirume is a vocalist who improvises in addition to singing her own songs. In 2015 she and computer player Carl Stone started a duo project whose activities include performances in Asia and the United States. (They also performed at Ftarri Festival in 2019).

Separately from her work with Carl Stone, Akaihirume performs in a duo with Yasumune Morishige. Over the past few years they have appeared regularly at Ftarri, Tokyo. This CD documents their performance in a concert on February 24, 2020. Morishige's subtle yet free-spirited cello playing and Akaihirume's vocals, with her creative use of effects, intertwine exquisitely and permeate every corner of the space. Consisting mainly of improvisation, the recording also includes (at the beginning and end of the performance) Akaihirume singing her own songs, accompanied by graceful melodies. The superb performances beautifully channel the musical artistry of both musicians.

森重靖宗と赤い日ル女 (あかいひるめ) は共に東京を拠点に活動する演奏家。森重靖宗はチェロ奏者。即興演奏をメインに、国内外の多くの演奏家や舞踏家と共演をおこなっている。赤い日ル女はヴォーカリストで、自作曲を歌うほか即興演奏もおこなう。彼女は2015年にコンピュータ奏者のカール・ストーンとデュオ・プロジェクトをスタートさせ、既にアジアや米国での公演をおこない、2019年には、Ftarri Festival にも出演している。

赤い日ル女はカール・ストーンとは別に、森重靖宗ともデュオ活動をおこなっている。Ftarri にもここ数年継続して出演していて、本CDには、2020年2月24日のコンサートでの演奏を収録している。森重の控えめながら自在なチェロ演奏と、エフェクトを駆使した赤い日ル女のヴォーカルが絶妙に絡み合い、空間に広がり染み渡る。即興演奏が主体だが、演奏の冒頭と最後には、しっとりとした旋律を伴った自作曲を赤い日ル女が歌う場面もある。両者の音楽性を美しく昇華させて生まれた名演。
