A tale of two bays is a blended audible view of two historic bays: the Chesapeake bay in Maryland, USA and Tokyo bay in Tokyo, Japan. Both recordings occur on a spring day and are mostly unembellished. They present the listener with a brief moment to enter these watery spaces and create their own tale. This is the first composition in an ongoing project.

A tale of two bays. -二つの湾の物語-。米国メリーランド州のチェサピーク湾と、日本の首都圏に囲まれた東京湾。これら二つの湾が過ごしてきた長い長い時間、そして聴こえてくる風景が重なってできた曲。現在進行中のプロジェクトにおける第一弾目の曲です。

どちらの湾の録音も春の季節に録音され、そしてまたできるだけ装飾や加工をくわえずに構成しました。この24分間の水辺の空間に浸って、あなた自身の物語を創造してもらえたらと思います。

On the 26th June, We joined the festival called La Voce del Corpo ( the voice of the body - 6th edition) in Osnago, Italy. This was our 2nd time to join this festival since 2009. This time, we made JINEN Butoh workshop and created group performance. On the final closing day of the festival was our open air performance day.
All the dancers body were painted with white cray and they dressed up with white costume. During about 15 minutes with silence, they made quietly zero walking in the square with minimum speed and sometime expressing soft slow movement. Falling of the tiny drop of rain, the performance was started with the ring of the church bell behind us. Quiet and serene start of the dance performance as if the time has stopped. Hiroko played various object sounds with processing and also metal percussions, singing bowls, hungarian zither, and field recording sounds. This performance title was " The four seasons of life. Embrace life and death ". All the dancers were wonderful. The performance went very deep with focusing on each moment and space. A combination of dynamic development and delicate dance. It became unforgettable event, including presence of Mr.Bruno Freddi ( the director of this festival, who is painter and sculptor ) inside the performance. We deeply appreciate for his cooperation.
After the group dance performance, Atsushi's solo Butoh "SKIN" was performed immediately without a break. We felt really warm and beautiful energy from audience in the square.
Deep gratitude to the director Mr. Bruno Freddi, and Michele for the organization, and Pino and Marco for the technique and all the team who helped this festival. And the wonderful dancers and spectators who participated. This opportunity to meet and share in person was really great and precious time.
