The Quadrupole Quartet, organizers of AMART, a comprehensive expression group, selected a painting, changed the title, gave it a concept, and asked each artist to write a song and a sentence related to the song, inspired by the jacket and album title.
Borrowing from Rudon's painting "Composition Flowers", the concept for this album is "education".
The etymology of the word "education" comes from two Latin words, "educere" (to draw out the talents that are inherent in humans) and "educare" (to nourish and nurture humans, animals, and plants).
The experience of the global epidemic, which is personal and easy to use as a subject but inevitable, is causing synchronicity in various ways.
Naturally, it is not limited to art alone, but it plays another role, including as an aspect of AMART's activities.
The distress, the sorrow, the disquieting atmosphere that always surrounds us.
Under the desperate circumstances of being constantly exposed to a threatening virus that continues to mutate and grow in power, and even worsen the route of infection, this work is the result of each of us experiencing it and giving form to it.
Some people might say that writing about the songs is a bit silly. But in the end, that and adding images to music are just different approaches. This is also a way of presenting a method of expression.
They added words poetically, sometimes structurally, and sometimes privately.
The colors of the paintings, borrowed from Rudon, and their somewhat decadent beauty may have had an influence. The music was generally dark, but there were many pieces that gave the impression of hope and redemption. The music is a mixture of various elements, and I feel that it has become a mysterious aggregate that is somehow different from just being genre-less.
I'm not sure what you will feel or get from this album, but the basic philosophy of AMART is that we hope that our expression and activities will be a spark of creativity and an encounter with the emotions of our listeners.
As the title "education" implies, if you experience something actively, if something happens in your brain, and if it is born, there will be synchronicity, however small. We hope for that.
