About my work
In my work, most of all my interest is in the existence of sound materials.
Some of them give the sound well, the other is not. Anyway the materials
exist. So, can we say that it gives the sound always after the existence? Or
should we recognize the existence comes after the perception? If so, there
is the existence which is got after the perception.
What is the perception? If we perceive something, it means we create the new
relation with it. If the fact of perception is one of the parts of the whole
relation, it means the perception is included in the whole relation. In this
point, I think soundscape theory is important.
This theory catches the sound in social or natural relations. So sound is
recognized as a signal, a message, or environment. We are conscious of the
number of sound, a kind, an order, length, an interval and also strength, a
direction, distance, etc.
Perhaps good sample is a song of birds. Their song is very interesting, and
tells something. And in many cases, bird sings also recognizing our
existence.
About field recording
Field recording is like taking a photograph. We ourselves go there, and we
do not work on an object, but devote in observation. The object itself does
not have the function which gives us a certain impression. We are going to
discover a certain law or a premise among the juxtaposed object. And we will
concentrate on them, in order to read a unknown message. This is not for
constructing the so-called worldview. There is the function which exists
before forming worldview. Then, consciousness brings various fields to light
by making the perception on the spot into a referring point. For example,
field of ecological environment, folkloric environment, or metaphysical
field. However, They are not necessarily one. It is possible for it to be
free
