about

This is an abstract ensemble work of field sounds that capture changes in the sound environment and electronic sounds that have been transformed by electronic modulation processing.

There was a small ironworks next to my birthplace long before I was born, and our family grew up sometimes irritated and sometimes familiar with the noise.
In later years, when I began to record voluntarily, the sounds occasionally caught my attention, but the mill gradually worked less and less and the building was demolished about two years ago.
The factory and warehouse, which blocked the east and southeast of my house, were gone, and a vacant lot of about 15 square meters appeared in both directions.

The south side of my house leads right to the ocean, but the demolition of the warehouse made the sound from the ocean more I can now hear it directly.
The calls of migratory birds are particularly beautiful and their recordings are used in this work.

Most of this work is made by performing various processing, editing, and resynthesis based on the environmental sound recorded from the site of the ironworks and the electronic sound that imitates it with a synthesizer.
It was completed by adding a melody written as a requiem to the lost being and a little musical instrument performance.
Environmental sounds are used in all parts, but they are abstracted by intense modulation and mixed with rippling electronic sounds to form a large vortex.

Shuta Hirakiによる生家付近での原体験が表現された作品。
幼少期より近所にあった小さな鉄工所や海から聴こえた音、そして鉄工所の取り壊しに伴う音環境の変化にインスピレーションを得た。
モジュレーションされた渡り鳥の声や工場の壁がきしむような具体音、
冷ややかな電子音、時折わずかに聴こえるピアノなどが美しく溶け合うようにミックスされたレクイエムとなる。
マスタリングはUeda Takayasuが担当。
