about

Wakana Ikeda is a flute player whose activities range widely, from performances of composed works to improvised and popular music. She also leads the experimental music group Suidobashi Chamber Ensemble. In 2021, Ikeda and Swiss cellist Stefan Thut released the duo album "afar" on the Ftarri label. Guitarist Takashi Masubuchi started playing improvised music in the latter half of the 2000s, and since 2018 has focused on acoustic guitar performance. While Ikeda and Masubuchi are musicians closely associated with Ftarri, some may be surprised by the participation on this album of Takuro Okada, a guitarist active on the popular music scene. In fact, Okada has a longstanding interest in improvised music, and participated in the improvisation group Hatten along with Wakana Ikeda.

Wakana Ikeda, Takuro Okada and Takashi Masubuchi performed at Ftarri in Suidobashi, Tokyo, on September 23, 2021. The first set was a duo by Okada and Masubuchi, and Ikeda joined in for a trio in the second set. This CD documents that trio performance in a single track of 31 minutes. Instead of flute (her usual instrument), Ikeda plays harmonica here. The mutually overlapping sounds of Okada's and Masubuchi's acoustic guitars and Ikeda's harmonica create a fascinating and profound performance.

池田若菜は、作曲作品の演奏から即興音楽、ポピュラー音楽まで幅広く活動を続けるフルート奏者。実験音楽集団、Suidobashi Chamber Ensemble のリーダーでもある。2021年に、スイスのチェロ奏者 Stefan Thut とデュオ・アルバム『afar』を Ftarri レーベルからリリース。ギタリストの増渕顕史は、2000年代後半から即興演奏を開始。2018年からは、アコースティック・ギターによる演奏に専念している。池田と増渕のふたりは Ftarri に馴染みの演奏家だが、ポピュラー音楽シーンで活躍するギタリストの岡田拓郎の参加を意外に思う人はいるかもしれない。しかし彼はかなり前から即興音楽にも関心を持ち、池田若菜らと「發展」という即興演奏のグループをやっていたこともある。

池田若菜、岡田拓郎、増渕顕史の3人は、2021年9月23日に東京、水道橋の Ftarri に出演。最初に岡田と増渕がデュオで演奏し、セカンド・セットで池田が加わりトリオで演奏した。本CDはこのトリオ演奏 (31分) 1曲を収録。池田はいつものフルートではなく、ここではハーモニカを使用。岡田と増渕のアコースティック・ギター、池田のハーモニカのそれぞれのサウンドが重なり合い、味わい深い演奏を披露している。
