Now I am Ph.D candidate of asafas Kyoto University.
Germany's Gruenrekorder is a label which releases
all kinds of experimental sound art, but field recordings have the main
interest.
In some cases, such as here in 'Scenery Of Water', it deals with
pure and unprocessed sounds. Eisuke Yanagisawa hails from Kyoto,
and works
as a field recordist since 2004. On this CD he has eleven pieces from Vietnam,
Myanmar and Japan. Somehow 'water' runs
as a theme through all of these
pieces. What is there to say about these recordings? Not much, I guess. There
seems to an absence
of any human activity. Just outdoor sounds (well, and
indoor, such as in 'Bathroom'), and they are recorded well, if not a bit soft,
volume wise. It works well with headphones. Nice enough, perhaps most
engaging to those which places has visited. And where
as six pieces have
been recorded in Kyoto - the only place I have visited of the various locations
here - I can't say I 'recognize'
anything. Might not be the necessary
anyway. I guess for those who love Chris Watson and want to seek out more alike.

Over the course of these 11 short tracks we are simply presented with a
selection of recordings made by the artist that feature
water in various
ways. We hear dripping taps, rivers, waves & rain. Only tracks 6 & 9
appear to have other elements that dominate
the recordings.It’s a hard cd to
review to be honest. For the most part I’m left wnating to hear longer takes of
just a few of the tracks
& I can only assume that this is all that was
recorded at the time. If you can get past that then you’ll be ok listening to
this disc.
The tracks featuring rain are the most interesting for me as they
do capture a sense of place – the humidity and the wet, bright green
and mud
coloured landscape comes into ones mind. That & the open doors of houses and
buildings in countries where sweat and rain
are constants.As with several of
Gruenrekorders field recording series cd’s we are presented with work by artists
who are failry new to
field recording. At thier best that sense of early
excitement and exploration comes across and in this release I think we can hear
someone
taking some steps forward, but it needs to be said that these are
very simple recordings made with very simple equipment. There are no
hydrophone recordings – these are all made with normal ambient mics. It will
be interesting to hear what he does
next.
Film
BambooScapes (2007年制作)
This movie is "Scape sereies"
vol.1.
"Scape sereies" aim to describe the acoustic environment in
Kyoto.
We chose "Kami Katsura" as the recording site."Kami Katsura"
is
not famous place and unknown to tourisits but has impressive
beauty.
This movie focus on the "bamboo","soundscape" and "small creatures"
living there. In this movie all sounds were recorded with dummy-head
binaural microphone.Headphone listening is recommended.
KyotoScapes (MossScapes＋WaterScapes)
(2008年制作)
"KyotoScapes" aims to explore
the acoustic environment in Kyoto.
We are surrounded by various sounds in
our daily lives, but most of
them are out of our consciousness. Thus I
focused on "sounds" rather
than "picture" in the process of making this
film.This means to reverse
the conventional way in film making and focus the
relations between
sounds and picture. In this short film field recording was
conducted
with real-head binaural microphone and hydrophone.
ベトナム中部高原のゴング文化 (Gong
Culture in the central highlands of Vietnam) (2008年制作)
Each ethnic minorities living in the central
highlands of Vietnam has
their own “Gong Culture”. Since old times, many family
stock gong sets
and play gongs at various rituals and ceremonies.
But their
gong culture
is now declining due to the modernization and aging of gong
players etc…
This movie tries to illustrate the traditional
gong culture by focusing on
the splendid harmony ofthe gong playing at Grave
abandonment ceremony
of the Jarai and the sophisticated skill of the Gong
tuner.
Buzzing of
cicadas, repeated beats from automatic gate, bustle of the city,
pulses of
bats, drone sounds from street lights… I can hear the sounds as
city
roaring, raising an alarm against human-beings. This is an another soundscape
documentary beyond our audible range. All sounds were recorded
simultaneously
with pictures using bat detector which turns ultrasonic
sounds into audible sounds.
