The year 2022 was the 10th anniversary of the opening of Ftarri’s physical store in Suidobashi, Tokyo. To mark this milestone, several solo concerts by musicians with whom Ftarri has had close ties since the time of its predecessor, Improvised Music From Japan, were held in the Ftarri store performance space in autumn 2022. The musician who performed on October 3 was Otomo Yoshihide. That day Otomo planned to play turntable only, but when he spotted the store’s harmonium, he had the idea of using it in the performance. As a result, the striking timbres of the harmonium add a special flavor to the beginning and end of his performance in the first set. The second set was a solo performance on turntable only.
2022年は Ftarri が東京水道橋に実店舗を構えて10年という節目の年だった。そこで Ftarri では2022年秋に、Ftarri の前身である Improvised Music from Japan の時代からゆかりの深いミュージシャンによるソロ演奏のコンサートを数回開催した。10月3日には大友良英が出演。この日の大友はターンテーブルのみを使用する予定だったが、店内のハーモニウムを目にするや、演奏への使用を思いつく。こうしてファースト・セットでは、演奏の冒頭と最後に印象的なハーモニウムの音色が加味されることとなった。一方、セカンド・セットはターンテーブルだけを用いたソロ演奏となっている。
