about

Ai Watanabe is a Tokyo-based composer. After studying at Tokyo College of Music’s graduate school, she went to France and completed a graduate program at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Paris, and subsequently earned a doctoral degree at Tokyo University of the Arts. In recent years Watanabe has been focusing on electroacoustic music using field recordings as additional materials, earning high praise inside and outside Japan. Kokichi Yanagisawa is a guitarist based in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. From 2013 to 2016 he studied jazz in New York, and since his return to Japan has been performing jazz and improvised music in both his home region and Tokyo. He also has a strong interest in contemporary classical music.

In 2023, Ai Watanabe and Kokichi Yanagisawa performed two duo concerts at Ftarri, Tokyo. This album contains three tracks from those concerts—one piece from their performance on May 20, and two from their concert on October 7. On both days Watanabe used synthesizer, Kaoss Pad, computer and objects, while Yanagisawa played archtop electric guitar. Minute sounds from guitars, electronics and other sources expand to create a unique and harmonious space.

渡辺愛は東京在住の作曲家。東京音楽大学大学院修了後に渡仏、パリ国立地方音楽院修了。東京芸術大学大学院博士後期課程修了 (学術博士)。近年は、フィールド・レコーディングを素材に加えた電子音響音楽を中心に活動し、国内外で高い評価を得ている。柳沢耕吉は、長野県松本市在住のギタリスト。2013年〜2016年にニューヨークでジャズを学び、帰国後は地元はもとより東京でもジャズや即興音楽を演奏。現代音楽への関心も高い。

渡辺愛と柳沢耕吉は2023年に、東京「Ftarri」にデュオで2回出演している。本アルバムにはこの2回のライヴ演奏から、5月20日の演奏1曲と 10月7日の演奏2曲、合計3曲を収録。両日とも、渡辺はシンセサイザー、Kaoss Pad、コンピュータ、小物を、柳沢はアーチトップ・エレクトリック・ギターを使用。ギター音、電子音、その他こまごまとした音が広がり、静けさの中に渾然とした独特の音空間を生み出している。
