Description

[Machine Translation] This is the second solo album by Ryoko Konno. It consists of works that explore the boundaries of both improvisation and composition, with Taro Tatsumaki on drums, all recorded and mixed by Ryoko Kono herself, and multiple recordings of her saxophone made over a period of two and a half years. The number of tracks created by this meticulous and delicate work exceeded 2,000 at the very limit of the number of tracks that could be physically pressed onto a CD disc, which was set at 99. The order of the tracks is an important factor in determining the overall impression of the album, and of course we want the listener to listen to the album in the order of the tracks on the disc, but for this album, we dared to adopt the method of "leaving the order of the tracks to the listener (and his/her environment)". The 99 songs on the album seem unrelated, but in fact they are connected, and by shuffling the songs, we aim to create the effect that no one will ever listen to the same composition twice, and to create the illusion that the total recording time for the listener is from pressing the play button to pressing the stop button. We hope you will experience the change in composition and impression each time you listen to it.

Description in Japanese

Alternate Flash Heads / 小埜涼子

小埜涼子のセカンドソロアルバム。即興と作曲の双方の境界線を探った作品で構成され、ドラムに竜巻太郎を迎えて、すべての録音、ミックスを小埜涼子自身で行っており、2年半もの歳月をかけてサックスを多重録音している。その緻密で繊細な作業で作成されたトラック数は優に2,000を超える事となった。99曲というCDディスクに物理的にプレスが可能な限りの限界曲数に設定した。アルバム制作において曲順は全体の印象が決まる大切な要素だが、もちろんディスクの曲順通りでも聴いてほしいのだが、このアルバムに関してはその他に、あえて曲順を「聴き手(やその環境)にゆだねる」という方法も採用した。アルバムの99曲は関係がないようで実は繋がっており、合計約30分の99節まである全1曲と捉えそれをシャッフル再生する事で誰もが二度と同じ構成で聞く事がないような効果を狙い、再生ボタンを押して停止ボタンを押すまでが聴き手にとっての合計収録時間になるような錯覚や、聴く度にその構成や印象の変化をぜひ聴感して欲しい。
