about

Originally recorded in 1984, “Jumping and Standing” consists of a live performance at Musashino Art University by pioneering Japanese sound artist Akio Suzuki, accompanied by five toy rabbits. This long-awaited release epitomizes Suzuki’s approach to performance, imbued with a characteristic sense of humor and an organic interplay with his audiences, as evinced by uproarious laughter heard on the opening track. Now some three decades later, contemporary listeners are likewise drawn ever deeper into this novel noisescape featuring an ensemble of wind-up bunnies on broken boards, metallic fragments, and a reel-to-reel tape deck on the fritz.

日本を代表するサウンドアーティスト鈴木昭男 氏が武蔵野美術大学にて1984年に披露した5匹のトイうさぎ達による演目"Jumping and Standing"。鈴木氏本人がいつか陽の目を見ないものかと念願を温め続けていた録音であり、その内容は息を殺し聴取に集中するというものでなく、氏が常に現場で考えてきた笑いや自然なコミュニケーションのある状況/空間をそのまま記録したもの。序盤はその立ち振る舞いにゲラゲラと笑うオーディエンスの声が聞こえ、徐々に手持ちの楽器を外されたトイうさぎ達が叩き奏でる、板切れ、金属片、壊れたオープンリールデッキの調子外れなノイズに引き込まれていく。
