about

Leo Okagawa has recently been known for performing improvised music on electronics at venues in the Tokyo area. On the other hand, he has long been creating “composed” works using environmental sounds, analog noises and electronics.

This CD consists of pieces in the latter category. Okagawa made 43 tracks from his direct recordings (each a few minutes long) of sounds he encountered in various locations between June and August 2023, then put them together without edits to create this 72-minute-long field recording masterpiece. Although taken on different days, the 43 tracks follow the flow of a summer day from early morning to dusk. The myriad sounds captured in changing locations hit the listener’s ears in a dynamic way.

岡川怜央は最近では、東京界隈でのエレクトロニクスを使用した即興演奏で知られるが、一方で、環境音、アナログ・ノイズ、エレクトロニクスを使った「作曲」作品の制作も以前からおこなってきた。

本CDは、岡川の後者の作品群に属する一枚。2023年6月から8月にかけて色々な場所で出会った音をそのまま数分間録音し43のトラックを作って、編集なしで並べた72分に及ぶフィールド・レコーディングの大作。43のトラックは、録音した日は違えども、夏の早朝から夕暮れ時へと時の流れに沿って進んでゆき、場所を変えながらそこで捉えた音の数々が聴く者の耳にダイナミックに飛び込んでくる。
