about

泥の畑に一本の折れている木がまだ立っている。灰色の空からの雨。沈黙。人間はもう一人もいない。時には、遠くから深い音が耳に届く。低いところに水が溜まっている。雨のメランコリックな音色。

空に黒い鷹がゆっくりと周りを飛んでいる。空気の上に浮いている、羽を動かさずに。下の泥に何かが見えるのでしょう?ただし、ここはもう、生き物の場所ではない。あの鷹の爪には、誰の血がついているのだ?

桜の新しい葉の匂い。優しい風が残っている花びらと遊んでいる。暖かい太陽の光の中、人々が集まっている。一人一人から自由のオーラが光る。この人たちは何を考えている?何をお祝いしている?

緑、浅い茶色の芝生。鳥の声。この鳥はどこにいるのでしょう?空を見たら、所々に散らかっている野花の赤、紫、黄色のようにあちこちに飛び交っている。柔らかいこと。

今の分散されている世界の中でどのように進んでいく?これは我々が選べることである。

現在、梅レコードは、ブラジル、ポルト・アレグレの Carlos Ferreira とアメリカ、ロスアンゼルスの Ki Oni のアルバム "A Hundred Ways of Escaping" をリリースする。



A single broken tree stands in a field of mud. Rain from an ashen sky. Quiet. There are humans here no longer. Occasionally a deep sound reaches one's ears from far off. Water pools in the low places. The melancholic timbre of the rain.

In the sky a black falcon is slowly circling. Floating on the air, without moving its wings. Does it see something in the mud below? But this is no longer a place for the living. Whose blood is it, on that falcon's talons?

The smell of the new leaves of a cherry tree. A gentle wind plays with the last remaining petals. People have gathered in the warm sunlight. From each person radiates an aura of freedom. What are these people thinking about? What are they celebrating?

Grasses of green and pale brown. Bird calls. Where are these birds? Looking to the sky, one can see them flit here and there, like the reds, purples, and yellows of wild flowers scattered here and there. A softness.

How will we move forward in this fractured world? This is something we all must choose.

Umé Records presents the album "A Hundred Ways of Escaping" by Porto Alegre, Brazil's Carlos Ferreira and Los Angeles, U.S.A.'s Ki Oni.
