In January 2023, zappak held a duo improvisation event with Takashi Masubuchi and Yosuke Morone. Masubuchi mainly performs improvisations with an acoustic guitar. Morone, on the other hand, plays with some function generators. This album is a record of their first collaboration.
Masubuchi used a style in which he played from beginning to end over the sustained notes produced by Morone, rather than responding to each other, on this day. Morone's sound is centered around clean, sustained sounds, but it changed shape very slowly, with intermittent interruptions and amplification of the bass, increasing its presence. The sounds blended together in a large flow. I hope you will feel the contrast between the different texture of acoustic and electronic and the way of dialogue from these performances.

2023年1月、zappakは増渕顕史と諸根陽介のデュオによる即興演奏のイベントを企画した。増渕は主にアコースティック・ギターによる即興演奏をおこなっている。対する諸根は複数台のファンクション・ジェネレーターを使用した演奏をおこなっている。本作は彼ら二人による初共演の記録である。
ここでの増渕の演奏は、相手の音に呼応するというよりも、むしろ諸根の出す持続音の上で終始自由に爪弾くようなスタイルをとっている。諸根のサウンドは潔さのある持続音が中心だが、非常に緩やかに形を変え、断続的に音が途切れたり低音を強調したりしながら増幅されていき、その存在感を増してゆく。大きなフローの中でお互いの音は融和する。アコースティックとエレクトロニックという異なる質感のコントラストと対話の手法を是非この演奏から感じていただきたい。

Takashi Masubuchi (増渕顕史)
Born in 1984. Tokyo-based guitarist and improviser.
Masabuchi has been playing guitar in a variety of groups since his teens.
He began performing improvisation as a member of Pelktopia, his project with Hironobu Shimazawa (launched in 2008). Since 2018 he has been devoting himself to acoustic guitar performance.
In that year he released two solo albums, R,R,R (CD, Headlights Recordings, Portugal) and Disappearing Foliage (cassette tape, Senri Records, Japan). He also releases collaborative albums with other musicians and contributes pieces to compilation recordings.
1984年生。主に東京で演奏活動を行う、アコースティックギター・ハーモニカ演奏家。
10代の頃より様々なロックグループでギタリストとして活動を行い、その後、ブルースを基調とした、よりミニマル・ドローン的性質を持つ音楽を志向し、実験と実践を繰り返す。さらにその後、初期衝動の持続と音楽的探求のため、アコースティックギターを用いたソロでの即興演奏を開始。
自身の身体知と情動に基づき、意図性を排したリニアかつ自然発生的演奏を行うが、自身と場に起こるイレギュラーもそれはそれとして楽しむ。
特に音列と間の概念に関心を持つ。
2018年 R,R,R (Headlights Recordings)・Disappearing Foliage (Senri Records)２枚のソロアルバムをリリースする。
