Sarah Reinhardt Really incredible stuff here. The live instrumentation and the electronics combine seamlessly. The textures are dense and the melodies are cluttered with different phrases and solos. Favorite track: Old & New.

服部峻(はっとりたかし)は大阪在住の音楽家。映画美学校音楽美学講座の第一期生として、当時まだ15歳だったにもかかわらず特別に入学を許可され、某メジャーレコード会社からは、高校生にして会社のスタジオを自由に使わせてもらっていながらも、高校卒業と同時に姿を消していた、アンファンテリブルで謎に包まれた異才。

今作の始まりは、日仏合作の映画『TECHNOLOGY』(監督:遠藤麻衣子/2016年公開予定)のサントラとして、6曲ほど楽曲制作するという企画でした。しかし服部が取材旅行でインドを訪れ、彼の地で得た多大なインスピレーションから構想が膨らみ、最終的には12曲のオリジナル楽曲が並ぶフルアルバムへとその内容が変化していきました。純粋な映画音楽のアルバムではなく、「映画のサントラ」であり「インドへのトリップアルバム」であり「自身初のフルアルバム」という、三つ巴のコンセプトからなるインストゥルメンタル作品です。

現代音楽、ジャズ、アンビエント、ミニマル、ノイズ、ドローン、民族音楽、更には雅楽的アプローチまで、様々な音楽要素が圧倒的なスケール感で交差するサウンドは、まさに唯一無二。服部曰く「信仰」がテーマの今作の、世界の混沌を表したような異様な緊張感と、それでいてどこか彼岸を想わせる、エキセントリックなのに不思議と調和の取れた世界観には、ある種の宇宙的な美しさすら漂っています。


Takashi Hattori is an Osaka-based musician. He was exceptionally accepted as a member of the inaugural class of The Film School of Tokyo’s music course at the age of 15, and though he was permitted from a major record label to freely use their studio as a high school student, this mysterious prodigy and “enfant terrible” disappeared coinciding with graduation.

The beginning of this new work was a project of producing about six tracks as a soundtrack for the Franco-Japanese film “TECHNOLOGY” (Director: Maiko Endo / Release 2016). As Hattori earned tremendous inspirations during his coverage trip in India, his ideas inflated and the project finally transformed into a full album including twelve original tracks. It is not a mere film music album, but a three-sided conceptual instrumental work; a “film soundtrack”, a “trip album to India” and the “first full album of Takashi Hattori”.

With various musical elements including modern music, jazz, ambient, minimal, noise, drone, ethnic music and even a gagaku (Japanese court music) approach, his sounds that intersect with an overwhelming scale are peerless. With its theme being “faith”, according to Hattori, his new work’s odd nervousness that expresses the world’s chaos and eccentric but peculiarly harmonized outlook of the world that somewhat reminds us of equinox has a universe-like beauty drifting by its side.
