about

Seijiro Murayama is a drummer/percussionist and improviser/composer who lives in Paris. His first CDs on Ftarri's three labels (Hitorri, Ftarri and Meenna) came out in 2009, and he has since released a total of 12 solo, duo, trio and quartet albums on Ftarri labels. Of the solo albums, the first was "Downdate" (2017), followed by "The Empire of Slip of the Tongue" (2018) and "mi-tai" (2020). While "Downdate" and "The Empire of Slip of the Tongue" are electro-acoustic works, "mi-tai" is an album of improvisation with percussion and voice.

This album is Murayama's fourth solo release on the Hitorri label. Like the preceding album, it's a compilation of improvisational performances. The seven tracks (each between 4 and 11 minutes long) were recorded in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in January 2022. Murayama uses instruments including cymbal, bass drum, snare drum, voice, and various small objects. Along with the previous work ("mi-tai"), this album is an ideal introduction to Murayama's boundlessly original and distinctive work as an improviser.

フランス、パリ在住のドラマー / パーカッショニストで即興演奏家 / 作曲家の村山政二朗が、Ftarri の3つのレーベル Hitorri / Ftarri / Meenna から初めてCDをリリースしたのは2009年。それ以降、ソロ、デュオ、トリオ、カルテットの編成で、全12タイトルのCDリリースがある。そのうち、ソロ・アルバムは2017年の『Downdate』が最初で、『The Empire of Slip of the Tongue (または湿原の帝国)』(2018年)、『みたい (mi-tai)』(2020年) と続いた。最初の2タイトルはエレクトロ・アコースティックな作品だったが、『みたい (mi-tai)』はパーカッションとヴォイスによる即興演奏のアルバムだった。

Hitorri レーベルからのソロ第四作となる本アルバムは、前作に続き即興演奏集。2022年1月、スロヴェニアのリュブリャナで録音した全7曲 (各4分〜11分) を収録。村山は、シンバル、ハイハット、ベース・ドラム、スネア・ドラム、ヴォイス、各種小物を使用。前作『みたい (mi-tai)』と共に、個性極まりない即興演奏家としての村山の今を知る最良のアルバム。
