  • Availability:

大阪の電子音楽家7FOが、2022年5月にリリースした最新レコードです。以下、作家本人による解説です。

「2020年の3月に作品を作り始める時には、自分の好きなように録音しようとだけ決めていた。世の中にはコロナウイルスが広まってきており、だんだん大変な状況に変化していった。ライブの予定もなく、人ともほとんど会わなかったため、制作中、精神がいつもより少し深い場所にあるような気がしていた。静かな湖に釣り糸を垂らすように機材の前へ座る。新しい何かが水面下に潜んでいることをずっと感じていた。届きそうで届かない、あぶくのように浮かんでは消えるそれを捉えるのだ。」

Excerpt from Ran - Bouten 'afterword', written by the artist:

“ When I started working on the piece in March of 2020, I had only decided to record it in the way I wanted to. The coronavirus was spreading globally, and the situation was gradually changing into something very serious. With no gigs scheduled and hardly seeing anyone, I felt as if my spirit was in a slightly deeper place than usual during the production. I sat down in front of my equipment as if I were dropping a fishing line into a quiet lake. I kept feeling that something new was lurking beneath the water surface. I was trying to catch that something that seemed to be just out of reach, that floated in and out of sight like a speck of smoke."

Text by Pianola Records:

"2021 brings a new album by Osaka electronic musician / producer 7FO. This work is a departure from the recent global ambient / new age approach, and the unique sound aesthetic created using only hardware equipment is a new frontier of 7FO or a return to his origin. "Ran - Bouten" is a new electronic music album with a poetic sensibility using machines.

Discovered by overseas labels such as RVNG intl., Bokeh Versions, and Metron-and with the release that followed EM Records in his hometown Osaka, it's like his personal folk craft that was once quietly played at his own pace. Music has reached listeners around the world. In recent years, he has been touring from a famous performance with Tapes at the Belgian "Meakusma Festival 2019" to a Japan-Korea tour. "Ran - Bouten" was born as a result of facing the sound alone without being asked by anyone to cool down the heat when the steaming and intense experience had settled down. Inside the cool electronic sound like a water bath, you can feel the maker's heart sending hot blood."
