about

Singer-songwriter Tomoe Takizawa has two previous album releases, "Watashi, Kona ni Natte" (Narisu Compact Disc) and "a b c b" (Headz). Additionally, Takizawa is an improviser who regularly gives improvisational performances at Ftarri using various instruments and objects as well as voice. This album explores her appealing qualities as an improvisational musician. Tracks 1 and 5, short pieces of 2-3 minutes recorded by Takizawa at her home in January 2016, serve as the album's introduction and ending. The main tracks (2-4), each between 17 and 21 minutes, document her live performance at Ftarri in June 2018. On stage Takizawa is surrounded by various instruments and objects among which she walks in a leisurely way, reaching for guitar, piano, accordion and other instruments and objects, producing sounds, and humming. Amid the strangely airy feeling, wrapped in a mysterious and completely tension-free atmosphere, even the question "What's it all about?" becomes irrelevant. This unique and relaxing work makes you feel like losing yourself in daydreams.

滝沢朋恵は、『私、粉になって』(なりすコンパクト・ディスク)、『a b c b』(Headz) と、既に2枚のアルバムをリリースしているシンガー・ソングライター。さらに、テンテンコとのデュオ・プロジェクトや演劇グループへの参加など、幅広い活動をおこなっている。滝沢には即興演奏家としての顔もあり、東京「Ftarri」では、種々の楽器や物、声を使った即興的なパフォーマンスを継続的におこなっている。本アルバムは、その即興演奏家としての彼女の魅力に迫った作品。滝沢が2016年1月に自宅で録音した2～3分の小品をイントロ、エンディングとして1曲目と5曲目に配し、メインとなる2～4曲目 (各17～21分) に2018年6月、Ftarri でのライヴ演奏を収録。ステージ上の滝沢は色々な楽器や小物に囲まれ、その間をゆらりゆらりと歩を進めては、ギター、ピアノ、アコーディオンなどの楽器や物に手を伸ばし、音を出しては口ずさんだりする。全体に力の抜けた不思議な雰囲気に包まれ、その奇妙なふんわり感の中で、何これ？ という疑問もそのうちにどうでもよくなっていくような、何となく ボーッとしていたい気分にさせてくれる心休まる異色作。
