Behind a Single Note | 一音の背後、あるいは不在の律動 — How My Daughter’s Performance Awakened the Structure —
"October 2025. Watching my daughter perform Akira Ifukube’s Violin Concerto at Tokyo University of the Arts awakened a dormant 'earthbound rhythm' within me. It was a confrontation with my past, my master's teachings, and the sudden passing of my father that followed. I explore how the 'Structure of Light' in my photography must structurally fuse with the 'Structure of Sound' to encompass even the silence of absence." 2025年10月、東京藝術大学の奏楽堂。娘が奏でる師・伊福部昭のヴァイオリン協奏曲を聴いた瞬間、私の中で眠っていた「土着的律動」が地鳴りのように目覚めた。その直後に訪れた父の死。師の教え、血の循環、そして「不在の沈黙」すらも自らのインフラに取り込み、光と音の伽藍を築く構造家としての原点を綴る。

Ozzy at Fourteen | 14歳のオジー・オズボーン— “Crazy Train” Bound for the Past | 彼の列車は何処に向かうのか？ —
At fourteen, he was the pioneer who introduced me to Ozzy Osbourne. Thirty years later, I found him trapped in the echoes of the past, riding a 'Crazy Train' that leads nowhere but backward.

Burning the Barren Vineyard | 不毛なブドウ畑を焼く — Reconstructing the Soil and the Silence of 16TB —
Fifteen years of digital sediment had turned my creation into a labyrinth. Inspired by the "soil reconstruction" of Kenzo Estate, I’ve begun a massive migration to a 16TB infrastructure. This isn't just data management—it's the purging of the old to allow for the maturation of the new. I am planting seeds for the next decade in this freshly turned earth. 15年の歳月が築いたデジタルの迷宮。ケンゾー エステイトの「土壌改良」に触発され、私は16TBの新インフラへの大移動を開始した。これは単なるデータ整理ではない。次なる熟成のために古い土を入れ替える「構造の浄化」だ。新しく整えられた土壌に、これからの10年を彩る作品の種を埋めていく。

Phase War in the 30th Year | 30年目の位相戦争 — Dream Theater in Osaka, and the Melancholy of the Professional Ear —
Thirty years after my last encounter, Dream Theater returns with Portnoy as the "Keystone." From the third-floor seats of Festival Hall, I found myself caught in a "Phase War"—the professional curse of a Sound Designer unable to stop analyzing acoustic reflections. Yet, as the 23-minute circle of "A Change of Seasons" closed the night, I rediscovered the unwavering rhythm that anchors my own creative structure. 30年の時を経て再会したDream Theater。ポートノイという「柱」が帰還したフェスティバルホール。3階席で私を待ち受けていたのは、職業病ゆえに反射音を解析し続けてしまう「位相戦争」だった。しかし、30年前と同じ23分の組曲が円環を閉じた時、私は自らの構造を支えるべき「揺るぎない律動」を再確認した。
