《原始の復活》(2018) フルート、クラリネット、打楽器とピアノのための
イタリア現代陶芸を代表する作家の一人であるカルロ・ザウリ(1926-2006)の3つの幾何学的な陶彫作品「原始の復活」にインスピレーションを得た。高温焼成による独自の釉薬”ザウリの白”や、コントロールされたうねり、ゆがみ、亀裂による荒々しい律動を感じる幾何学的な個性的な形態は、土という素材、自然の相貌を内面化し結晶化している。土、自然への彼の想いは、焼き物の先進国である日本の美学に通じるものを感じた。土に命を吹き込む律動感、微妙な“ザウリの白”の色彩を音楽で表現しようと試みた。
When I went to Carlo Zauli’s retrospective exhibition in Japan in 2008, I was very impressed by his strong unique character. Carlo Zauli (1926-2006) is one of the most important Italian ceramic sculptors of the 20th century. For this piece, I got the inspiration by his three geometrical ceramic works, “Rebirth of the Primary”. Geometrical characteristic forms with “Zauli’s white”, baked at high temperature, about 1200 degrees, controlled curve, distortion, crack and fierce rhythm are results that a clay as a material and nature are internalized and crystallized. I also feel that his intention to clay and nature is connected to Japanese aesthetics. I tried to express vitality and rhythm to breathe into clay and delicate “Zauli” white” with breathing by flute and clarinet and rich resonances by piano and percussion in this piece.
