about

（使用楽器コギリ）
アフリカの大地に数百年間風と光を浴びた巨樹ニウラは切り倒され、材の乾く数年間、冥界に眠り、再び木琴として蘇る…。それは死して姿を変えた自然として。
強烈な光を好む瓢箪も、時を惜しむごとくに物凄い勢いで成長し充実の果を成して一年で枯れる…。その果は種を抜かれ、乾燥し、何も無い中空に何かが残る…。
それらは、アンティロープの毛の生えた皮で、頑丈にフレームに組み上げられた…。命ある自然の魂がそこに宿るときこそ、その用途としてのアフリカ木琴なのだと私は思う。この木琴を語らせ響かせるものは、一度死した、自然の霊性なのだ。いのちあるものには死が在る。死はすべての終わりなのだろうか？「ascension」はそれに対する私の答えである。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Giant tree named "NIURA" basked in the wind and light of Africa during hundreds of years, and grew.
It was chopped. It sleeps in the world of death until it dries, and it revives as Xylophone again.
It changed the form.
The gourd which likes an intense light grows with terrible vigor.
It becomes a big gourd. However, a gourd will wither in one year.
Although there is nothing in the gourd which had deseeded, something remains.
Gyil is made from a "NIURA" and gourd, is the skin of a Antelope and is assembled strongly.
I imagine.
It is African Xylophone "KOGIRI" that a natural living soul dwells there.
What is made to tell this Xylophone and is sounded is the spirituality of a thing which died once.
Death comes to all.
Is death all the ends?
"ascension" is my answer to it.
