Reflection

[Machine Translation] Ujikouen, a long-established tea wholesaler in Kyoto, which will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2020, presents the latest work in its "Tealightsound" series, which uses sound and light to express tea. It is the origin of "Tealightsound" and was produced as an "extra volume" following Matsuo Ohno's "The murmur of the tea tree Buddha". 5 years have passed since the previous work "SOMETHING IN THE AIR - the soul of quiet light and shadow layer -" by COMPUMA feat. Five years have passed since "SOMETHING IN THE AIR - the soul of quiet light and shadow - layer -" was released. The two revisit a tea plantation that has been abandoned and transformed into a jungle, and with the tea plantation as their inspiration, they reexamine the act of "listening to sound" in this ambitious work that explores soundscapes and mental landscapes.

2020年で創業150年を迎える京都の老舗茶問屋"宇治香園"が送る、音と光で茶を表現する"Tealightsound"シリーズ最新作。大野松雄『茶の木仏のつぶやき』に続く『番外編』として制作されたもので、"Tealightsound"の原点ともなっている。COMPUMA feat. 竹久圏による前作「SOMETHING IN THE AIR - the soul of quiet light and shadow layer -」から5年。廃園となりジャングルのように変貌してしまった茶園にふたりが再訪し、あらためてその茶園よりインスピレーションを得て"音を聴く"という行為を見つめ直して向かいあったサウンドスケープと心象風景を模索する意欲作となっている。
