about

March 2020...Mt. Washington, California… It was weirdly peaceful in the early stages of the Covid-19 quarantine. Beth, Chester and I took lots of walks around and inhaled the crisp spring that suddenly came to a stop. I had to document this strange tranquility. I recorded the birds, wind and rain on my iPhone. Then I extracted elements from those recordings and manipulated it into something else. It may sound like synthesizers to you but everything you hear on this piece is the sound that was here in Mt.Washington, March 2020. Takuro Okada and his ears mastered this beautifully …and it brings me back to those beautiful and strangely optimistic walks I took with my family….Wash your hands.

2020年3月、カリフォルニア州マウント・ワシントン。Covid-19によって突然始まった自宅待機で、この自然豊かな町は奇妙に鎮まりかえっていました。僕と妻のベス、愛犬のチェスターは突然立ち止まってしまった春の町を毎日散歩しました。ある日僕はこの不思議な静けさを記録しようと思い立ち、散歩のたびに風の音、屋根を打つ雨の音なんかをiPhoneで録音しました。その中から鳥の声や、飛行機の音、風の音などを抽出、加工して別のテクスチュアを持つ音楽に作り替えました。シンセサイザーみたいに聞こえるかもしれないですが。そうやって8分ほどにまとめられた音響作品を岡田拓郎くんが美しく、音楽的にマスタリングしてくれました。これを聴くと謎のオプティミズムを感じていたあの不思議な3月に引き戻されます。
