【 About This Album （from CD） 】 |
It is without a doubt my love
of making "mixed breed" music that has brought me to
where I am today. The idea of taking different concepts, genres
ideas and combining them in ways that are unexpected in hopes
of creating a new sound that is all at once vaguely familiar
yet entirely new is what interests and inspires me most as an
artist. Withmy last two records I investigated the concepts of
"exotic" and "erotic". This time around the
notion of "innocence" seemed somehow the appropriate
direction to take ; and it wasn't hard for me to decided on the
genre through which I wanted to explore this : Bossa Nova. Being
a Japanese artist who can't speak Portuguese, can't sing, can't
play guitar and has not made it apoint to specialize in Brazilian
music, the idea of choosing Bossa Nova might at first atrike
you as odd. I knew my only hope was to approach it with a purity
of heart? an "innocence". I also kew I'd need a partner
; and not only a singer, but someone who could write beautiful
yet twisted lyrics in Portuguese and was familiar with what I'd
been doing as an artist-and, of course, in possession of an innocent
heart! Arto Lindsay was the only choice. My friend Arto has a
wonderful ability to to understand things intuitively and without
the need for a huge exchange of words. When I discoverd Arto
was coming to Japan with Vinicius Cantuaria （God, isn't he innocent?）
I knew Iwas absolutely on the right path. Arto and Vinicius joined
me in Tokyo just after performing at a music festival in Kawaguchiko.
When we got together and played, it was as if we were messengers
on a mission who were possessed by a Muse. I'd play a vocal line
to Vinicius' guitar while Arto was putting a chunk of this as
a way to start an album, just three people suddenly thrown together
with the challenge to create - NOW ! - but it worked. And in
the end, it was a very fresh, very innocent and blissful experience.
More musicians were brought in later to round out the songs and
when we were finished, I was cetain I'd accomplished what I'd
set out to create : an interpretation? a reflection, really?
of Bossa Nova that was somehow specifically mine. Thanks everybody
! I've taken great care in finishing "Innocent Bossa in
the mirror" in hopes of making this moment eternal.
Jun Miyake
