3 Firing

from VAGUE by Shinji Wakasa

/
  • This is a concept album of five songs recorded and processed from the sounds of the Orin at Shimatani Shoryu Kobo in Takaoka City, which has been in continuous operation since the late Edo period, to create a sound design of the manufacturing process of the Orin and the austere and beautiful sound of ripples. All of the songs use only the recorded material of the sound of the Orin and the sounds generated during the manufacturing process. The title VAGUE (wave in French, vague in English) expresses the ripples spreading in a circle on the surface of water. This project is still in progress, and a live performance and installation is scheduled to be held at the main hall of Shokoji Temple, an important cultural property designated by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, during 2021/5-6 this year.

about

三曲目はおりんの焼成(焼き入れ)工程の際に美しく燃え上がる炎と、真っ赤に焼き込まれたおりんが徐々に冷まされて鈍く光りながらより密度の高い金属へと進化していく様を表現している。ゆったりとした持続音と、炎のチラつきのような高音の質感が美しいアンビエントトラック。

The third piece expresses the beautiful flames during the firing (quenching) process of the orin, and the way the bright red orin gradually cools and evolves into a denser metal with a dull glow. This is a beautiful ambient track with a slow sustained sound and a high-pitched texture like the flickering of flames.
