about

This is a lovely and surprising treat indeed. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Tim Hodgkinson (Henry Cow and much more) partners with vocalist Atsuko Kamura (Mizutama Shobodan aka Polka Dot Fire Brigade and Frank Chickens) to present 37 compositions, expanding the usual sub-10-second acoustic life of classic haiku into a varied suite of compositions which place the gem-like poems, spoken and sung in both English and Japanese by Hodgkinson and Kamura, into gorgeous musical frames composed by Hodgkinson. "Haiku In The Wide World" lovingly embraces texts spanning the 17th to 20th centuries, revered examples of a long-established Japanese literary form, bringing these brief poems into the realms of musical art, setting them in an extended network of sonic inter-relationships. The instrumental textures, paradoxically sparse yet rich, crystalline yet warm, are provided by Hodgkinson’s own clarinet and other sound sources, as well as beautifully played and crisply recorded french horn, viola, violin, cello and acoustic guitar. The voices and instrumental sounds fuse with the poetic images, each throwing light and casting shadows on each, revealing hidden significances and building resonances across the arc of the release. The Japanese and English voicings of the haiku also provide further layers of significance, resonance and communication. The English translations, by poet Harry Gilonis, sparked Hodgkinson to initiate this project, a dancing, shifting terrain of life moving through the seasons and the comings and goings of the moon and sun. This project is a unique world, distinctly different from what either Hodgkinson and Kamura have previously accomplished. "Haiku In The Wide World" is a co-release, with ReR launching a UK CD version; EM Records provides both CD and 2LP versions. The tracks and sequence are the same for both labels, but the cover art is different — perhaps you should buy each version; "Haiku In The Wide World" is certainly worthy.

ヘンリー・カウをはじめ数々の音楽プロジェクトを遂行してきたティム・ホジキンソンと、水玉消防団やフランク・チキンズ等で活躍したカムラアツコによる、素晴らしくも驚くべき新領域の開拓。『Haiku In The Wide World』は、カムラとホジキンソンが日本語と英語で吟じ唄う俳句を、ホジキンソンが作曲した音楽の枠に収め、多彩で変化に富んだ一連の器楽の集合へと「拡張」した音楽形式の画期となる作品です。

本作は17世紀から20世紀にわたる37の俳句のテキストを愛情をこめて取り上げたもので、長い歴史を持つ日本の文学形式を敬愛し、これらの短い詩句を音楽芸術の領域に持ち込み、音の相互関係の拡張された ネットワークの中に据えています。演奏ではホジキンソン自身のクラ リネットをはじめフレンチ・ホルン、ヴィオラ、ヴァイオリン、チェロ、 アコースティック・ギターが用いられ、鮮明に録音された音源が使用されています。声と楽器の音は詩的なイメージと融合し、それぞれが光を投げかけ、影を落とし、隠された意味を明らかにし、作品の総体と共鳴し合います。作曲においてホジキンソンが選択した音楽語法は、俳句の本歌取りや取り合わせといったレトリック、連歌師の手法にみる多様かつ急激な世界展開に照応した幅の広さを持っています。また、俳句の日本語と英語訳がさらなる意味、共鳴、コミュニケーションの層を提供します。その英語訳の俳句をホジキンソンに送った英の詩人ハリー・ギロニスとの交流がこのプロジェクトを始めるきっかけとなりました。本作はホジキンソンやカムラがこれまでに成し遂げてきたものとは明らかに異なる、無比の作品です。『Haiku In The Wide World』の成り立ちを綴ったホジキンソンの解説も必読です。CD版、2枚組LP版ともに同内容。日本盤仕様ジャケット。
