「自分の音楽はBGMとしての機能があればそれでいい。」

影絵師、朗読家、映像クリエイター等の異なるジャンルの活動家や他の音楽家とのセッションを貪欲に繰り返し、時には自ら作り上げた映像を駆使したライブ活動も行う北陸は富山が産んだ孤高の音楽職人であり才人「sabusave」。ストイックな音楽職人の持つフィジカルな熱量がバックグラウンドミュージックとしての機能美を超越し我々の琴線に触れようと迫る。音が幾重にも重なり現れて、消え、また現れるビートレスの深い音の靄。
Braian Eno、Philip Glass、Steve Reich、Manuel Gottsching、Klaus Schulze等のミニマル/アンビエントミュージックの偉大なる先達やStarts Of The Lid、Labradfordなどのkranky records周辺のアンビエント / ドローンサウンドが好きな方におすすめの作品です。

Sabusave is an ambient musician and sound installation artist from the Toyama Prefecture in Japan.
Sometimes known as “background music” Sabusave transcends the functional beauty of that style and urges us to lose ourselves in the solitary, stoic, complex patterns of the chords. His sounds repeat and overlap and disappear into a haze of deep mesmerizing sound, only to gently evolve and reappear again. In Toyama, Subusave started the project SAVE (Sound. Audio. Visual. Electric) in 2013. Sabusave’s performs his live music in public areas where many people visit, such as cafes, art exhibitions, yoga classes and on the street – He creates a unique and calming atmosphere for people finding themselves in the locations. He pays close attention to the environment, space, people, and mood of the situations and controls the sounds of the music in real time, performing live without the use of any backtracks or overdubs. It has quickly become popular, not only at music events but in many other settings.
