BESIDE
初めて「降りてきた」曲 - The first music that “came down”.
Spotify_invidia.jpg

この曲は夢から覚めたらできていました。

降りてくる、というのは本当にあるのだと教えてくれた曲。

AIロボットの人類への反逆と次の世紀を描いています。

起きたらピアノが弾けていたのでメモも何もありません。

逆にいうと、もう弾けません。

 

This music was made when I woke up from a dream.

It taught me that coming down is a real thing.

It describes the rebellion of AI robots against humanity and the next century.

When I woke up, I could play the piano, so I have no notes or anything.

On the contrary, I can't play it anymore.

雨の中で佇む回顧の曲 - A retrospective piece standing in the rain
雨の中で佇む回顧の曲 - A retrospective song standing in the rain

二度と戻れない過去に思いを巡らせながら、雨の中で佇む人の心情を描いた曲。

もともとLo-fi hiphopの雨音が入った感じの曲が大好きなので、本物の雨音を入れて作りました。

 

This piece depicts the feelings of a person standing in the rain, thinking about the past that can never come back.

I have always loved Lo-fi hiphop music with the feel of rain sounds, so I created this piece with real rain sounds.

 

早く咲きたい桜の身になってみた曲 - A music about being in the body of a cherry blossom that wants to bloom early.
早く咲きたい桜の身になってみた曲 - A song about being in the body of a cherry blossom that wants to bloom early.

桜の開花が例年より遅れたので、「いま桜はどんな気持ちかな?」と思って作りました。

ほぼ即興に近い感じで作った曲なので、すでにメモが手元に残っておらず、もう弾けません。

結構気に入っている曲なので、それだけが残念。

ちゃんとメモして残しておかないと、という教訓を得ました。

 

Since the cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual, I wondered how the cherry trees were feeling now.

Since I wrote this piece almost as an improvisation, I don't have my notes with me, so I can't play it anymore.

It's a pity, because I like this piece a lot.

I learned a lesson that I need to write it down and keep it with me.

生まれて初めて作った曲 - The first song I ever wrote in my life.

人生初の作曲は、この曲でした。

いろいろと書き換えてようやくできた難産の末の曲です。

折しも坂本教授が亡くなった後で、教授への追悼曲として作りました。

 

This was the first piece I composed in my life.

It was a difficult piece of music that was finally completed after various rewrites.

I composed it as a memorial to "Professor" Ryuichi Sakamoto after he passed away.

猫と蝶が戯れる曲 - A music in which a cat and a butterfly play
猫と蝶が戯れる曲 - A song in which a cat and a butterfly play

1st ALBUM 「BESIDE」の2曲目に収録。3rd ALBUM 「風雅 -FUGA-」にもトリオ・バージョンとして収録しています。

この曲は1時間足らずで出来ました。主旋律がとても穏やかで美しいと自負しています。

コンセプトは、猫と蝶がじゃれ合いながら、いつしかお互いの心が一つになるという友情モノ。

「猫ふんじゃった」はどの音か分かりませんが、一部オマージュしているのが分かりますか?

 

It is the second piece on the 1st ALBUM “BESIDE” and is also included as a trio version on the 3rd ALBUM “FUGA”.

This piece was done in less than an hour. I am proud that the main melody is very calm and beautiful.

The concept of this piece is a friendship between a cat and a butterfly, who play with each other, and eventually become one in their hearts.

I am not sure which sound “Nekofunjatta” is, but can you tell that it is a partial homage?
