「NANI∞GURU 欧州ツアー2019」3カ国を巡る9日間全8公演、無事全日程終えるやLondonは定宿Tom宅へ無事帰還、今夕NANI君は帰国の途に就かれる予定なれど、私は其の儘London残留、先達てNew Yorkにて10年ぶりなる再会果たせしアシッドフォークシンガーJesse Poeのレコーディングに参加、
更には週末に控えるフェスティバル「Woolf II – A Terrascope Celebration」にても、彼とデュオにて出演予定なり。
因みにこのフェスティバルは、サイケデリックロック雑誌「Ptolemaic Terrascope」主宰発行されしPhil McMullenに由る主催にて、90年代に欧米各地にて幾度か開催されしサイケデリックフェスティバル「Terrastock」を偲ぶイベントなりければ、当時AMT宗家、ソロにて幾度か出演せし経緯あり。そもそも今も懇意にする海外ミュージシャンの多くは、このフェスティバルに縁深くして、正に我々世代のミュージシャンを繋げし重要なフェスティバルたりしかな。Jesseと初対面初共演せしも、2008年ケンタッキー州 Louisvilleにて開催されし「Terrastock7」に於いてなり。
その「Terrastock7」に出演せし際の私関連動画はいろいろあれば、生憎Jesse率いる「Tanakh」とのライヴ動画こそ発見出来ねど、盟友「Bardo Pond」にゲスト参加せしはこちら、旧友「Kinski」にゲスト参加せしはこちら、主催者Philを筆頭に関係者一同より「今回出演したどのバンドより音がデカい」と云われしソロセットは前半、後半あり。
今回行われる「Woolf II – A Terrascope Celebration」は、6月8日（土）9日（日）の2日間に渡り開催予定。私は10日にドイツへ赴き「Moers Festival」への出演控えれば、9日のみの滞在出演なれど、いやはや懐かしき顔触れ集まると思えば、何とも楽しみなるかな。
況して珠玉のSSWたるJesseとのコラボレーションと思えば、尚の事。
会場はストーンヘンジよりも遠からぬCleeve House (Seend, Nr Melksham, Wiltshire, SN12 6PG) にして、チケットは限定200枚なりけり。公式Facebookイベントページもあれば、こちら。
上述の通り、Jesseとのデュオのレコーディング＆ライヴ終わるや、大英帝国LondonよりドイツはDüsseldorfへフライトし、デュッセルドルフ行政管区内Moersにて行われる「Moers Festival」に、世界最小フェスティバル「Japanese New Music Festival」が招聘されれば、フェス・イン・フェスとして出演せんとす。
果たして「Japanese New Music Festival」とは何ぞやと思われる御仁の為に、今一度説明せんとすれば、以下の通り。
「Japanese New Music Festivalとは？」
吉田達也(Ruins)、津山篤(サイケ奉行)、河端一(Acid Mothers Temple)の3人によって、様々なユニットが演奏
サイケデリッ
現在のラインナップは、Ac
2時間程の1セットにて、全8ユニットをメドレー形式にて連続演奏するが常なれど、今回はフェス側よりの要請にて、各ユニットばら売りと相成れば、況して私はJesseとの「Woolf II – A Terrascope Celebration」」出演スケジュールも重なり、3日目夜からの参加と相成る次第、悪しからず。吉田氏と津山さんは他のニュージシャンとのセッションもあれば、津山さんに由る「日本の音楽」DJなんぞもあり。因みに私は日程的に参加し得ねど、日本の現代音楽家に由る作品等の音源提供にて協力させて頂きし。
各ユニットばら売りなればこそ、各々のセット時間が通常のメドレー形式よりも遥かに長くして、スペシャル長尺セットを堪能頂き得ると知れ。
国内に於いても「完全版」にての演奏機会は稀なる「Japanese New Music Festival」なれど、果たして次の国内公演はいつの事やら。
而してこの「Japanese New Music Festival in Moers Festival」終了するや、漸く帰路に就く予定なれど、帰国翌日は一楽さんとNANI君に由るトリオ「「アシッド・マザーズ・ドラびでお（未だ正規表記未定の儘なれば、前回までは概ね『アシッドマザードラびでお』表記たれど、勿論今回と同ユニットなれば、悪しからず）」@京都 Club Metro控えれば、極悪非道爆音轟音に由るノイズ＋サイケデリック＋ハイパーブラストドラムの融合にて、古都京都を応仁の乱以来なる地獄の業火にて焼き尽くさんとす。

"JAPANESE NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL in Moers Festival"
JAPANESE NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Japanese New Music Festival is a showcase tour in which the trio of Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple) and Atsushi Tsuyama (ex. Acid Mothers Temple) perform as multiple different units as 8 separate groups. The groups mix and deconstruct all kinds of music from psychedelic rock, prog, jazz, classical to contemporary composition, experimental, and ethnic music. Their sound is unashamedly uncategorizable, with undercurrents of Frank Zappa and his belief that humour was an essential part of music. Each of the members brings a rich wealth of musical learning, knowledge and experience. The line-up for this year's tour will be: Ruins Alone, Acid Mothers Temple SWR, Akaten, Zoffy, Zubi Zuva X, Psyche Bugyo, Atsushi Tsuyama Solo, Makoto Kawabata Solo.
* In this time, Kawabata can join with JNMF only from Sunday Late night.
- ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE SWR (Kawabata/Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Acid Mothers Temple have rapidly become acclaimed as the greatest, most extreme trip psychedelic group in the world. Releases have appeared on labels around the world at an amazing pace, and the magnificence of their live performances is already being whispered of as legendary. SWR is the AMT Family's most powerful battle-formation yet. featuring Tsuyama and Kawabata from the original AMT and Yoshida from Ruins. their crushingly acute freakout sound will pulverize the world's legions of wannabe psych groups.
- PSYCHE BUGYO (Tsuyama/Yoshida/Kawabata)
Atsushi Tsuyama's blend of two of his favourite things: Japanese samurai and ninja costume dramas, and British rock (mid 60s to mid 70s). The lyrics deal with themes from these dramas with typical Tsuyama humour, while the music is hardcore, authentic British rock tropes from the golden age - an ultimate, ultra-personal rock fusion of east and west! Special line-up for this tour including Tatsuya Yoshida on drums and Makoto Kawabata on bass.
- ZOFFY (Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Formed in 1998. Zoffy's music hints both at the members' deep musical knowledge via their improvised performances of troubadour music and European trad, and also at their deep love for rock via their destructivist covers of classic rock songs, that no longer sounds like anything but ZOFFY. The group believes that humor is essential in music, and their unprecedented performances stray far from the beaten track. Is this the Ultima Thule that rock music has long been aiming for?
- AKATEN (Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Formed in 1995 with the motto of "irresponsibleness" and "perfunctoriness." They easily free themselves from the spell of the traditional seriousness of the art. Using daily commodities like scissors, toothbrush, zipper, camera, and plastic bottle as percussions, and shouting their brand names over and over as the "songs," the show is performed under the concept of low cost and maximum sound effect. AKATEN is the experimental convenience store punk band that provides the sound images of cheap and simple daily lives.
- ZUBI ZUVA X (Yoshida/Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Eccentric poly-rhythmic a cappella ensemble. It covers from Gregorian chant to ethnic music, to do-wop to hardcore screaming, heavily using irregular rhythms and polyrhythm. All sorts of ideas and aberrant musicality overturn the image of a cappella. their totally meaningless lyrics and desperate performances throw the audiences into the abyss of the laughter and admiration. it makes the concept of "singing ability"nonsense.
- RUINS ALONE (Yoshida Tatsuya solo)
Yoshida is one of the most innovative drummer/composer/improviser in Japan's new music scene. pioneer of Drum & Bass duo RUINS was founded by Yoshida in '85 . Tunes are complicated and mysterious, and songs are sung in the language of their own invention. It's high-tension, wild, heavy, speedy, acute, and powerful tremendous ensemble never sounds like they are only two players. now RUINS had no bassist and currently he has been playing as RUINS ALONE. playing RUINS songs with sampling bass.
- KAWABATA MAKOTO solo
Kawabata Makoto is best known for his speed-demon noise-fuzz guitar in Acid Mothers Temple, but he is also widely active as an unparalleled drone guitarist. Drawing upon a huge reservoir of original techniques including metal glissando and bow-work that can summon up the sound of a string ensemble or orchestra, his work in this area cannot be simply categorized as minimal, drone or experimental. You'll find it hard to believe that a single guitar can create sonic worlds of such meditative and elegant depth.
- TSUYAMA ATSUSHI solo
Tsuyama is best known for his monster bass in Acid Mothers Temple, but he also has amazing technique of guitar and vocal. his He has travelled around the world and accumulated the traditional styles of guitars/vocals in europe and asia. he adds his own interpretations and lyrical sense to create a beautiful but odd "fake traditional" musical world. recently he developed a new figure called "prog.rock > blues-ization plan". he dismantle the masterpiece of progressive rock, and restructure it as an impromptu blues.
