about

音楽ナードから「琉球ペットサウンズ」と呼ばれる必殺の1977年録音が、あの“第四世界”デュオ、Visible Cloaksによるリミックスをカップリングして夢の音盤化。

「かじゃでぃ風節（ふーぶし）」は琉球古典音楽・琉球舞踊を代表する曲で、結婚式などのめでたい席で演奏される大定番。通常、少人数で三線を伴奏に歌われるものだが、新崎純という異形センスのミュージシャンの好奇心から、ビッグバンドで演奏したらどうなる？と実験されたのが本ヴァージョンだ。人間国宝の照喜名朝一をはじめとする演奏家がスタジオに集められ、5人の三線奏者、4人の管楽器奏者、ピアノ、エレキギター、エレキベース、パーカッションとドラムの総勢13人で、なんとリハーサル無し（！）たった一回一度きりの演奏で吹き込まれた正にミラクルな録音。新崎によるとハーモニーが無い琉球古典音楽ゆえに編成と編曲には苦心したというが、出てきた音は想像を超える荘厳さを漂わせ、更に音楽マニアには琉球音階の『Pet Sounds』に聞こえてしまうというオマケ付き。今回のリリースにあたり当時記録用に録音したただ1本のテープを発掘できたのはこれもまた奇跡である（新崎本人も紛失したと思っていた）。この曲にノックアウトされたヴィジブル・クロークスによるリミックスは神秘性と抽象性、あの世感とこの世感を合成音に増幅して雲の上に連れて行ってくれる“第四世界”ヴァージョン。

“This was traditional, transformative music, and music that made so much sense coming from EM’s epicenter.” ― Matt Werth / RVNG Intl.

A charming set of double transformations on this 7 inch. “Kajyadhi Fu Bushi” is a traditional Ryukyu minyo (Okinawa folk song), a joyous celebratory classic which is usually sung at weddings, with lyrics describing how “beautiful buds unfold”, using the distinctive Ryukyu/Okinawan pentatonic scale. Typically performed by a small ensemble of a singer accompanied by sanshin, the Okinawan precursor to the shamisen, the A-side is has been transformed by jazz musician and conductor Jun Arasaki and his group Nine Sheep, with five sanshin, four winds, piano, guitar, bass, percussion and drums. Played only once, unrehearsed but perfect in execution, for a 1977 TV broadcast, this release has been taken from the only recording in existence. The B-side is yet another transformation, a remix by the Portland “fourth world” duo Visible Cloaks.

Simply otherwordly. Alien and weird. Visual, minimalist, fractured soundscapes. Synthetic entities, half-biological half-artificial. Digital existence, but of non-human nature. Complex album, difficult to grasp in its message. Probably on a completely separate dimension, both in terms of language and consciousness. Maybe a brief window to an alternate reality where a virtual world coexists within and alongside ours. Stéfan Németh
