about

“Gorilla Wave!” is a solo project by trumpet player Kyotaro Hori, who plays on Klehe, TAMTAM, WUJA BIN BIN, etc. His first work, "ECHOES", has tactile sensations, introspective wind instrument melodies, and improvised sounds, reminiscent of Jon Hassell and Terje Isngset. We can see two types of gradation throughout the work. The first one
is from jazz to ambient, the second is from sound to music.

In M1 "Buntaro" and M2 "Ants in a Line", his trumpet sounds like a shakuhachi. The sounds of stringed instruments and ice are arranged so as to be intertwined with the tone.On the other hand, M3 "Ame" is a work that expresses the tactile sensation in electronics by using only electro without using musical instruments. In M4 "IcI", where the repetition by percussion and trumpet is impressive, a new layer is added each time the phrase is repeated, and the sound gradually saturates. M5 "IkI", which cross-fades with the lingering sound, is an ambient song that focuses on the breathing of the clarinet.
This work is an experimental style, but the phrases and tones that are familiar to the ears are also impressive. Leave yourself to the world where you can see through these melodies and textures.

　KleheやTAMTAM、WUJA BIN BINなどで演奏するトランペット奏者の堀京太郎によるソロ・プロジェクトGorillaWave!、その1作目が本作『ECHOES』だ。音の触覚性や内省的な管楽器の旋律、即興を基調としたそのサウンドは、Jon HassellやTerje Isungsetなどを想起させる。ジャズからアンビエント 、音から音楽へのグラデーションが作品全体を包み込んでいる。
　M1「Buntaro」、M2「Ants in a Line」では、トランペットを尺八のような響きで鳴らし、その音色と絡み合うように弦楽器や氷の音が収録されている。一方M3「Ame」は楽器を使用せずエレクトロのみで構成、エレクトロニクスにおける触覚性を表現した作品。パーカッションとトランペットによる反復が印象的なM4「IcI」では、フレーズが繰り返されるたびに新たなレイヤーが加わり、徐々に音が飽和していく。その余韻とクロスフェードして流れるM5「IkI」は、クラリネットの息づかいに着目したアンビエント曲だ。
　本作は、実験的な作風だが耳に馴染み良いフレーズと音色が印象的でもあり、旋律と質感に身を任せて楽しめる作品となっている。
