about

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.


ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

総合的表現集団AMARTの主催Quadrupole Quartetが絵を選び、タイトルを変えコンセプトを付け、各アーティストにジャケットとアルバムタイトルから想起した楽曲とそれにまつわる文章を提供してもらうシリーズの新作。
ルドンの「花達の構成」という絵を借り、今回のコンセプトは[education]とした。

その語源にはラテン語のeducere(人間の内部に元々備わっている才能を引き出す)とeducare (人間、動物、植物を養い育てる) の二つの説があり、今作はこの『引き出す』と『養い育てる』という似ているようで反対の性質をもつ言葉とルドンの抽象絵画をベースに、頼んだ人達がそれらの解釈から新たな表現を生み出す実験である。

パーソナルかつ題材にしやすいが避けては通れない、全世界共有型疫病蔓延の経験は、様々な形でシンクロニシティを起こしている。
当然それはアートだけには留まらないが、AMARTの活動としての側面を含め、もう一つの役割を担っている。

苦境、悲哀、常に纏わりつく不穏な空気。
変異を続け力を増し、感染経路すらも悪化する脅威的なウイルスに常に晒されている絶望的な状況下において、各々が体感し、それを作品として形にした結果が今作である。
曲にまつわる文章などは野暮だと言う人もいるかもしれない。しかしそのことと音楽に映像を付けることなどは、結局のところアプローチの違いに過ぎない。これもまた一つの表現方法の提示である。
彼らは詩的に、時に構造的に、また私的に言葉を添えてくれた。

ルドンから借りた絵の色味やどことない退廃美も影響しているのだろう。全体的に暗く、しかしそれでも希望や救済が見えるような印象の楽曲も多かった。その音楽は様々な要素が混ざりあった、ただジャンルレスと括るのも何か違うような不思議な集合体になったと感じている。
このアルバムを通して貴方が何を感じ、何を得るかは定かではないが、AMARTの基本理念として、私たちの表現や活動が聴き手の感情との出会いやクリエイティビティの火種になればという思いがある。
educationという題名にも込めたが、能動的に体験し、脳内で何かが起き、そして産まれれば、それはまた小さくともシンクロニシティが生じるであろう。私たちはそれを願う。
