about

Ftarri 7th Anniversary Vol. 2

Ftarri has released four CDs to commemorate the 7th anniversary (in August 2019) of the Ftarri shop in Suidobashi, Tokyo. This second CD is a solo album by Yuma Takeshita. Born in Osaka in 1982, Takeshita relocated in 2011 to Tokyo, where he still resides. Playing a modified electric bass with small self-made electronic devices attached to the body—he calls the instrument an "electro-bass," and just looking at it is fun—Takeshita produces not only the bass's original sound but also various electronic sounds in his highly original improvisational performances. In 2017, he released the duo CD "Occurrence, Differentiation" with Toshimaru Nakamura.

This album is comprised of 8 tracks 3-6 minutes each, recorded by Takeshita at his home in June 2019. He plays simple melodies using the bass’s original sound, over which he strews various sustained and short electronic noises. This outstanding work displays a uniquely Takeshita-like combination of melody and noise, as well as superb musicality.

東京、水道橋の Ftarri ショップ開業7周年 (2019年8月) を記念して、4枚のCDをリリース。本作はその第二弾で、竹下勇馬のソロ・アルバム。

竹下勇馬は1982年大阪生まれ。2011年に東京に移り現在に至る。いくつもの小型の自作エレクトロニクス装置をエレクトリック・ベースのボディに装着した、見るだけでも楽しい改造ベース (竹下はエレクトロベースと称している) から、ベース本来のサウンドばかりでなく種々の電子音を生み出し、個性豊かな即興演奏をおこなう。2017年には、中村としまるとのデュオCD『Occurence, Differentiation』をリリース。本アルバムには、2019年6月に竹下が自宅で録音したそれぞれ3~6分程度の8曲を収録。ベース本来の低音でシンプルなメロディを奏で、それをまぶすかのように持続音や短音の色々な電子ノイズを放つ。竹下にしかできないユニークさでメロディとノイズを組み合わせ、高い音楽性をも表現してみせた秀作。
