Label: Edition Omega Point - OPA-013

日本の電子音楽のパイオニアの一人である諸井誠の1964年のこの作品は、なんと狂言の古典と電子音がミックス！家の庭にどんどん生えてくるキノコに業を煮やし、山伏に退治を乞うものの、呪文も効き目がなく、最後にはキノコの大群に襲われて退散してしまう。諸井らしい初期電子音楽風のプリミティブな音もさることながら、クライマックスで聴かれる激しいノイズと化したコンクレートっぽい音は衝撃的！
またカップリングとして1972年に現代邦楽の第一人者・宮下伸のために作られた曲を収録。当時流行した4チャンネルでの多重録音で、そのシャープな演奏自体素晴らしいが、中盤ではナレーションが入り、それがテープ速度を変えてノイズと化してしまう。どちらも諸井のテープ作品の中でもダントツにアヴァンな曲。

One of pioneers of Japanese electronic music Makoto Moroi composed "Kusabira" for Kyogen (traditional comical theater) with electronic sound in 1964. 'Kusabira' means Mushroom. A strolling Buddhist monk 'Yamabushi' tried to exterminate many Mushrooms grew out in garden of a man's home. However, his magic did not take effect for them but also the Mushrooms began to increase. The man and Yamabushi were driven out of home by large Mushroom finally. In this work, Moroi modulated Kyogen lines into concrete sound. It's so noisy and strange!
This CD also includes Moroi's important work used Japanese traditional instruments. The thought of this work was based on Arving Tofler's 70's book "Future Shock", and was composed as spacephonic music by 4-channel recording system for great player Susumu Miyashita. He played various kinds of Koto, gongs, percussions and Indian flute Bansuries. Sharpness of the performance is so wouderful, and also some human voices transformed noise sound are inserted on middle part of this work. Both works are most avant-garde of Moroi's works!!
