秋山徹次（ギター）
ギターという楽器の持つ特質に、自身の欲求をミニマルかつストレートな形で加えていくことによる、原始的で即物的な意味合 いを含んだ演奏を得意とする。ミクロからマクロに至る音量を、繊細に、ときには大胆にコントロールし、身体の電子化を試る。

On April 26 Instant Classic will release the second album from Polish ambient-improvised trio
Hinode Tapes. “Kiki Mori” will come out digital, CD, cassette tape and on vinyl thanks to a
collaboration with Kanu Kanu Recordings.
“Kiki Mori” consists of four tracks that expand on a stark sound introduced by the band on its 2022
debut album. „We tend to perceive this record as a really coherent statement despite our
backgrounds as musicians,” Piotr Kaliński (guitar, looper) admits. “It turns out that every now and
then your first shot at creating something new is the best, most natural one. We managed to
maintain a link with these first recordings on our new album. Let’s look at it as the next chapter of
the same story but this time a bit darker and inward-looking one,” Piotr explains.
“Our main goal this time can be defined as extreme minimalism. Percussion is barely audible and
the sound palette has expanded to include weird sounds, such as sticks, palms, dishes, springs and
so on,” Kaliński says. “We decided to treat those as important factors of our soundscapes and I
think that this is what contributed to a darker and raw outcome of our work, including a
monochromatic and distorted artwork.”
Work on “Kiki Mori” finished a year ago but the album kept on evolving. At the very last moment
the band decided to remove one of the tracks since it didn’t match the mood of the rest of the
record. “I guess ‘Kiki Mori’ is not what you’d call a strict esthetic statement. We intend to play
mainly with the narrative and not only with color, hence the reduction of percussion, introduction of
a human voice and a big departure from a crystal clear sound. We even included a piece of our live
recording here,” Kaliński explains.

「複製」「改変」「反復」によって生み出される音楽は決まったフォーマットを持たず、細部に渡るフェティシズムの集合体そのものが特異な音像を形成する。それは観客にとっては、存在していない言語での会話のようで、記憶の断片に干渉し、あなたと音楽の関係性を再定義するよう問いかける。
