市原義己 | Yoshiki Ichihara:

バンド活動を停止し、１人での音楽制作を模索していた大学在学中にMax/mspに出会い、ランダマイズされた音響を自身の作品に取り入れ始める。現在は自身のシンセサイザーやギターなどの演奏とコンピュータによって自動生成される音響を併せたパフォーマンスを録音やインスタレーションの形で発表している。

Yoshiki Ichihara is a music student who examines the possibility of randomization in music. He uses Max/msp as a compositional tool to escape from his own musical idiom during his bachelor. Currently, he has released several albums and exhibited installations using a computer and his musical instruments as results of experimentations on interventions with randomisation.

遠藤隆太朗 | Ryutaro Endo :

遠藤隆太朗は東京を中心に活動するギタリスト。実験音楽シーンに身を置きながらもジャズやブルース等の伝統的なギターの演奏方法を使い音楽を制作、詩人、パフォーマー、ヴィデオアーティストなど幅広いジャンルのアーティストとの共演を重ねる。アメリカやイギリスでの海外公演も行い、国内外共に精力的に活動中。

Ryutaro Endo is a guitarist based in Tokyo. After studying Photography and Art, he transitioned his creative expression into music. While being part of the Tokyo Avant-garde and improvised music scene, Endo keeps his music rooted in traditional styles such as Jazz and Blues and performs diversely with various musicians. His solos, on the other hand, use fundamental guitar tones which balance explorations of the familiar and the unknown.
To our mind, Ryutaro’s guitar playing evokes traces of early Taku Sugimoto and Jim O’Rourke alongside a slowly shifting melodic sensibility almost akin to the more tattered ends of minimalism.
