about

Percussionist/voice performer Seijiro Murayama previously lived for a long time in France, and he moved back to that country in 2018 after several years back in Japan. His extremely original performances, using a drum set or some parts thereof, have been highly acclaimed in Europe and throughout the world. The two tracks on this CD, which follows Murayama's album "Downdate" (released on the Hitorri label in November 2017), are solo performances by Murayama using voice, percussion, and sign waves mixed with field recordings. Densely structured and mysterious, this is an overpowering, incomparable masterpiece.

打楽器奏者 / ヴォイス・パフォーマーの村山政二朗は、長年フランスで暮らし、日本に数年間戻っていたものの、2018年に再びフランスに移住。ドラム・セットもしくはその一部のパーツを使っておこなう演奏は極めて個性的で、欧州をはじめ全世界で高い評価を得ている。本CDは、2017年11月に Hitorri レーベルよりリリースした『Downdate』に続くソロ・アルバムで、村山のヴォイス、パーカッション、サイン波によるソロ演奏の録音とフィールド・レコーディングをミックスして2018年に制作した2曲を収録。濃密な構成とミステリアスなムードに圧倒される無類の傑作！　ジャケットの絵は、ブリュッセル在住の画家、Chisato Ishiyama の作品。
