Matsuri [Music] Douban
release date 2007-06-12 publisher: Pacific Moon [Alleg]
The wadaiko (Japanese drum) and shakuhachi (bamboo flute) represent the sweat, rising cheer, and stirring excitement of souls about to burst with tremendous energy. Many of the songs included here were composed for EXPO 2005 to represent the many faces of a matsuri (Japanese festival). On this disc, excitement, beauty, and respect for nature are translated into strong beats from the wadaiko. Soft, feminine elements are expressed though the keynotes of the shamisen. The two sounds are combined to convey the unification of conflicting forces, and the joy of sharing a common future. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Kiyoshi Yoshida's work involves various genres of music, including pop, commercial scores, TV soundtracks, and computer game themes. He has also written and arranged songs for various artists.

何に対して神妙になっているのか、ひととの出会いに縁を感じてならない。山本寛斎氏との出会いは2004年。私が子供の頃から既に別世界、異次元にいらしたその火の玉のような魂と、何故だかすぐに、当たり前のようにイメージがシンクロ(同調)した。打ち合せが、デモ出しが楽しくてたまらなかった。

这是吉田洁的处女作,主题是日本“太鼓”。这鼓据说是世上已知的最古老乐器之一。日本“太鼓”也不例外,在日本传统中扮演着重要角色,是祭祀与战斗中不可或缺的器具。因此,这种击鼓的动作就包括了强烈的精神,一种击鼓者把全部身心都倾注在每一块历经磨炼的肌肉中,凝神击鼓的精神。日本“太鼓”可以说是自身的结构与表演风格紧扣得最为亲近的乐器。
吉田洁,他的作品总是含有数码器具,如电脑与合成乐器,想用这日本“太鼓”表达什么呢?也许是一种日本文化中的永久“特质”。“Wabi(鉴赏性的直率)”,“Sabi(苦修)”,“Uneri(鼓动)”;这灵魂的波动可能就是日本之魂。也或许他是想从世界性的着眼点来表达他对日本的恋慕。
“和魂”,这个日本的太鼓乐团出演这张专辑。该乐团无论是在国内还是在海外演出时,都会在他们访问所在地组织讨论会,和当地人民心对心的交流。我们希望在这张唱片中,他们能够再现吉田洁创作影象,鼓动你的灵魂。享受这从唱片中流淌出充满活力的精神,还有雄壮的音阶。
