ビオスとゾーエー。知人の写真家、元木みゆきさんの作品にインスパイアされたこれら3曲は、社会的に管理された生であるビオスに対する、ゾーエーという概念への憧れを結実させたものである。永遠に若くはいられない私たちに、命を燃やし尽くすことは可能だろうか。

Bios and Zoe. Inspired by the photographs of my acquaintance, photographer Miyuki Motoki, these three songs are the result of my longing for the concept of Zoe, as opposed to Bios, a socially controlled life. We can’t stay forever young, so is it possible for us to burn out our lives?

Why Not, by nzworkdown

Why Not, by nzworkdown

テクノのミニアルバムをリリースしました。（そもそもの由来は京都らしいのですが）、徳島の阿波おどりのあの有名なフレーズ「The dancers are fools, the watchers are fools. Both are fools alike, so why not dance?」をテーマにしています。

“The dancers are fools, the watchers are fools. Both are fools alike, so why not dance?”

From the song of Awa Odori, part of the Awa Dance Festival in Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku Island, Japan.

パレスチナでの虐殺に次ぐ虐殺に関し、ガザ入りしていたMSFの医師が証言した、顔と首の半分を吹き飛ばされ、全身に火傷を負った男の子の、「僕も死にたかった」「家族はみんな天国だ。もうここにはいたくない」という言葉が、今作を制作する上での直接のきっかけとなっています。

I dedicate these songs to the grief of all souls who have gone to heaven.

The direct inspiration for creating these songs came from the testimony of an MSF doctor who had been in Gaza during the massacres in Palestine, in which a boy with half his face and neck blown off and burns all over his body said, “I wanted to die too,” and “My family is all in heaven. I don’t want to be here anymore.”

Part. 2: Thanks to Dave Skipper. I sampled his noise sounds in this song.

故・坂本龍一氏が世界中のミュージシャンと共に音を紡いだシリーズ作品『Chain Music』に影響を受け、2025年の暮れに、fendoap、mashiroa、nzworkdownの3人の音楽家が、それぞれの音を持ち寄って、お互いにエディットしてゆくことで、それぞれの特異性をあらわにしようと試みました。

Inspired by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Chain Music series, in which he wove sounds together with musicians from around the world, at the end of 2025, three musicians, fendoap, mashiroa, and nzworkdown, brought together their own sounds and edited each other’s sounds in an attempt to reveal their own unique characteristics.

いつもはDAWのソフトウェア・シンセで作曲をすることが多いですが、今回はそういったものは一切使わず、古いアップライト・ピアノと周囲の環境音のみを用いて制作しています。

I typically make music with software synths in a DAW, but this time I’m only using an old upright piano and ambient sounds around it.
