about

Chiho Oka is a computer music player and sound artist. Aoi Tagami specializes in improvised voice performance and is also a singer-songwriter, performing songs with her own lyrics and music. A solo CD by each of these artists, produced as part of the "Ftarri Fukubukuro CD 2021" series, was presented to those who attended concerts at Ftarri in the 2020/2021 New Year period. Released for sale to the public in February 2021, the CDs are Chiho Oka's "Manipulating Automated Manipulated Automation" (hitorri-882) and Aoi Tagami's "LIVE on October 26, 2020" (ftarri uta 221).

Oka (laptop, synthesizer) and Tagami (voice, singing, electric guitar) gave a duo concert at Ftarri on January 3, 2021, as one in that year’s “New Year Concerts with Ftarri Fukubukuro CD.” The collaboration was so great that it resulted in this CD release, which consists of a 22-minute improvised performance from the first set (track 1) and a 25-minute piece called “Hanafuda Game” from the second set (track 2). On stage in the latter performance, each musician drew a "hanafuda" card and the two simultaneously performed separate pieces inspired by words written on their respective cards. Their conversations in the intervals on this track are recorded as well, so listeners can enjoy the atmosphere of the "hanafuda" game.

岡千穂はコンピュータ・ミュージックの演奏家、サウンド・アーティスト。田上碧はヴォイスによる即興演奏を得意とする一方、作詞作曲して自ら歌うシンガー・ソング・ライターでもある。このふたりのソロCDを「Ftarri 福袋 CD 2021」としてそれぞれ制作し、2020年年末と翌年年始の Ftarri でのコンサート来場者にプレゼントし、2021年2月にどちらも公式発売した。岡千穂『Manipulating Automated Manipulated Automation』(hitorri-882) と田上碧『LIVE on October 26, 2020』(ftarri uta 221) がそれ。

2021年の「Ftarri福袋CD付き年始コンサート」のひとつとして、1月3日に岡千穂（ラップトップ、シンセサイザー）と田上碧（ヴォイス、歌、エレクトリック・ギター）のデュオ・コンサートを Ftarri で実施。この共演がすばらしい内容だったため、ここにCDリリースが実現した。ファースト・セットのデュオによる即興演奏（22分）を1曲目に、セカンド・セットの「花札ゲーム」（25分）を2曲目に収録。花札ゲームは、ステージでふたりが各自花札をめくり、札に書かれたキーワードを基にお互い別々の曲を同時に演奏するというもの。演奏の合間のふたりの掛け合いも収録し、花札ゲームの雰囲気が楽しめる。
