about
This piece takes motif from the soundtrack I made for Hong Kong filmmaker Ann Hui’s Summer Snow (1995). The horn arrangements are by Suzuki Hiroshi. Voices of Kahimi Karie and her daughter Niki taken from their daily lives, a performance by FEN, and a field recording of protests in Hong Kong during the Umbrella Movement in 2014 made by dj sniff are collaged into the piece. This piece is dedicated to Ann Hui, whom I respect deeply, and to Kei She and Shimizu Kiyofumi who introduced me to the director. It is also dedicated to my many friends in Hong Kong whom I feel deeply connected to.

hardcore taste that differs greatly from previous albums.
バンド名義のアルバムとしては6年半ぶりになる今作は、これまでとは大きく異なるマルチリンガルでハードコアなテイストに貫かれたジャズ・オルタナティブ・アルバムとなっています。Ground-Zeroから今日に至るまでの大友良英の活動の集大成とも言えるアルバムです。...more
