• 432HZ MUSIC JAPAN

  432Hz MUSIC JAPAN by Heigo Yokouchi Artist: Heigo Yokouchi is a multi-talented musician. Born to a musical family in Tokyo, he grew up with a deep love of music. Many of his ancestors and relatives were professionally involved in musical art. His father was a prominent jazz guitarist from the 20th-century Japan. The sound that Heigo creates with the same type of special analogue audio equipment as that of Isao Tomita's studio has a distinctive organic 3D ambience. Heigo made his debut as a professional musician in his teens. He has since been actively involved in many fields of music, ranging from composition, arrangement and performance to audio recording and mixing. For his unit of "Kaze Ni Gakusho," he does the whole production process of its albums by himself, from musical composition through audio mixing. In his professional career, Heigo has written, arranged and played music for advertisements, films and documentaries. One example is "Shall We Dance?" that is the 1996 winner of the Japan Academy Prize for the Picture of the Year and whose Hollywood remake version was released in 2004. He has provided his works regularly to in-flight music service of Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways. Heigo also operates a duo called "Godai" with Japanese painter Shikandai Shingetsu. They were joined by Maurice White of "Earth, Wind & Fire" in the recording of the duo's album which took place in Los Angeles, California. Heigo collaborates with other musicians as well. He has worked with Keiko Matsui for a number of her recordings and stage performances as a musical arranger and performer. Keiko Matsui is a Japanese pianist specialized in smooth jazz whose first album "Deep Blue" took her in 2001 to the number one sport on Billboard's Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart and held the position for three weeks. Heigo Yokouchi launched his musical experiment in 2001 as he moved his base to the mountains of Shinshu, central Japan. He tries to keep his works away from commercial music and creates sounds in harmony with nature at a self-made outdoor stage in the woods. He set up a unit called "Yatsugatake 432Hz Music Club" to provide elderly people in nursing homes with music. It was renamed as "432Hz Music Japan" later on. "432Hz Music Japan" avoids the use of digitally-changed 432Hz sound sources as much as possible. It basically relies on musical instruments and recording equipment that are originally tuned to 432Hz to create a variety of musical compositions and software.

  太田光子 クラシックのリコーダー奏者。日本はもとより、イタリアを中心に世界中で活躍している。 元『ソフトマシーン』の『カール・ジェンキンス』と『マイク・ラトリッジ』、そして、聖なる歌声の持ち主『ミリアム・ストックリー』によるユニット、『アディエマス』の公演にも参加。 その他クラシックに留まらず、CM、劇版等スタジオワークから、内外のコンサート活動、後進の指導に至るまで大変に忙しい。 彼女がどれだけリコーダーという楽器をこよなく愛しているか、その思いが大変に良く伝わってくる演奏風景に、多くの人々が感動を覚え、公演のオファーが後を絶たない。/ 横内丙午 『風弐楽章』では作編曲、レコーディングミキシング全般に至る迄の全てを、一人でこなしている。 画家の新月紫紺大とのユニット『午大』ではロサンジェルス録音で『アース・ウインド&ファイアー』の『モーリス・ホワイト』の手によりアルバムを制作。また、ビルボード全米NO-1スムースジャズピアニスト『松居慶子』のアルバム、コンサートアレンジにも多数参加している。アジアでの活動も幅広い。 ステレオ録音にも関わらず、特殊音響機材を駆使して作り出すオーガニックで希有な3Dの音響世界は彼独自のもので、『風弐楽章』でも、余す所なく発揮されている。
