広島発サックス大瀬戸嵩&エレクトーン千嶋里志からなるインストゥルメンタルユニット!
4月12日、10枚目となるアルバムをリリース!
今回のテーマは「Change~チェンジ~」広島で結成し「0」からの出発から早10年。進化を続けるユニットへ!と心に決めチャレンジする日々ですが、次の結成20年目に向け更なる音楽活動にすべく、今ある自分達の音楽概念を捨てて、新たな大瀬戸千嶋の新曲、サウンド作りにこだわりました。
ソプラノサックス&エレクトーンという従来の大瀬戸千嶋のサウンドにツアーサポートメンバーでもあるDrums折田新&Bass佐々木裕の生音を同時録音!
今回のアルバムは千嶋もSTAGEA-ELC02の音源のみを使用しライブ感、一体感、躍動感ある曲達に仕上げるのを意識。表題曲である「Change」はアルバムのラストを飾り、これまでのサウンドを感じさせつつ、次に向かう力強さを感じさせる曲となり、まさに「大瀬戸千嶋の広島インスト魂」を感じていただく1枚に仕上がりました。
In 2006, saxophonist Takashi Oosedo and electone player Satoshi Chishima formed the band in their hometown of Hiroshima. The OOSEDOCHISHIMA sound, which combines Chishima's worldview on the electone and Oosedo's expressive saxophone, started as a small group and spread by word of mouth, spreading not only in Japan but also to the world, crossing the language barrier. The diverse music of the two, which has no lyrics, stays in your mind like a story, and many of their songs have been used on TV, radio, and commercials. At live performances, they freely change their style to suit the stage, from a two-person performance style to a band arrangement. In addition, one of the attractions unique to live performances is the talk that highlights the two characters, and they also work as radio personalities. With the concept of "easy to listen to, familiar, and enjoyable stage," their new style of saxophone and electone sound is attracting attention nationwide. In 2010, their first album "DreamStage" ranked first on the Oricon Indies Chakuuta Full chart. Their subsequent releases "Future" and "GLORIOUS" were the top-selling instrumental albums in Shinseido's nationwide storefront sales charts, an unprecedented feat for instrumental music. They were also selected as a featured artist by the Kyoto Prefecture Record Dealers Association. "Clover" and "Future" were released nationwide as sheet music for the electric organ by Yamaha Music Media Co., Ltd. In 2016, they held an event to celebrate their 10th anniversary. They attracted attention with their unprecedented live performance in a 2,000-seat hall in their hometown, and were selected as the main guest at Hiroshima's largest event, the Hiroshima Flower Festival 2017, where they performed "Hanaguruma," the first instrumental artist to do so. Their overseas activities include performing in Germany in 2007, 2012, and 2015. They then began to make a full-scale advance into Asia in 2015. They have been performing in Thailand every year since 2015, and will perform at the Sriracha Japan Festival four times by 2023. They will be the first Japanese instrumental artist to perform at the BIG MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL 13, one of the largest outdoor music festivals in Southeast Asia. They will also perform at JAPAN EXPO THAILAND 2024 the following year, further expanding their activities in Thailand. They also participate in EDF activities to support junior high school students who are not given the opportunity to receive an education, and deliver music to Thai children.
