Mujyo Matsumoto Hajime / 2 CDs

Hajime Matsumoto's third album, a two-disc set that took nine years to produce from 2014 to 2022, is an album with the theme of the sound of ice, paired with the first "Water Shape". Along with the sounds caused by frozen lakes and drift ice, improvisational one-shot recordings were made using objects that were not originally musical instruments, and various devices were used to work on the environment itself. Based on playing and working with things, disc 2 uses a hydrophone and is based on playing and working with things that were happening under the ice. Overwhelming scale blockbuster that has continued to search for the ideal sound over the years, facing the unpredictable changes of nature. These recordings, which have reached a stage that can only be described as impermanent days, are masterpieces that contain the mysteries woven by nature in a dynamic and delicate way, like a mass of the artist's own soul. The CD comes with a 32-page color booklet of ice and nature taken by Hajime Matsumoto himself during the recording. [Recorded songs] DISC 1 01. He who 02. Iron and flower lover 03. Home 04. Point 05.
