Memory 1 [Music Video]
directed by Shin Kikuchi
Memories of a journey, entrust one’s body to the melodies of a piano, will lead you to the bottom of the heart where the sense of beauty lies.
It is a masterpiece of piano album by Quentin Sirjacq, a French composer and pianist. This second album recorded during his visit to Japan in 2012 will be released from SCHOLE. After the debut album “La Chombre Claire” released, he has succeeded in touring Japan as a solo pianist, and collaborated and composed with various musicians. Furthermore, Quentin Sirjacq works energetically as a composer, such as various works for documentary, radio program, etc., and compositions for a French movie “BRIGHT DAYS AHEAD (LES BEAUX JOURS)” (this soundtrack is released from SCHOLE) released in 2013.
This masterpiece certainly represents the history of Quentin Sirjacq and the piano; the sharpened emotional piano touch fused with the elements of French impressionism and his classical roots which appear in his own various work, combines beautifully with the elements influenced from the contemporary music and minimalism studies in United States. The electronic sound which generate more depth from the music, were added by Steve Arguelles, a jazz drummer based in Paris, a contemporary musician, sound producer etc.
It was recorded with Akira Kosemura as a co-producer, and Hiroshi Iguchi as a recording engineer. The artwork created from the recorded piano data is by Shin Kikuchi. The emotional imagined sceneries before putting into words are composed one after the next, as the artist say, he try to create the sound what spring from his internal, without any determination of the image or motif. It’s notable that his creativity and absolute performance skills make it possible.
Memories of a journey, entrust one’s body to the melodies of a piano, will lead you to the bottom of the heart where the sense of beauty lies.

synchrotonica [Music Video]
directed by koichi nakaie
akisai, a sound-visual performance duo, releases their first album “colors” from SCHOLE. The album is one reaching point of akisai, to introduce their present style was formed after the repeated synchronization of sound-visual live performances with spaces. The visuals are by Nakaie, who is a visual artist works with stage production and fashion brand images. The sounds are by Suzuki, who learned classical piano since childhood, and is a keyboardist with roots of Jazz, progressive, and pops influence. Based on his background, each composition works are colored with the original and touching melodies.
An opening tune from this album, “line”, has the rhythm created with catchy guitar riff and the brisk electronic sounds. Then “idearythmical” shows the movement of subtle ambiguities, and the ingenuous contrast of sound as it resounds in both wide and narrow spaces. “Synchrotonica”, a melodious guitar plays with the groove formed from the four beats combined with speedy keyboard. The worldview of akisai is shown at the initial part of the album.
In quietness, a brilliant dialogue between keyboard and guitar can be heard on “theory”, then “biotopia” brings a short respite to this album with the elements of ambience. ”yumecasy” will take you out for roam into the haze of low-pitch sound. The passage of beautifully played piano heard in “phase” will bring the feeling of both sadness and beauty. “memoment”, the sound of trumpet produce a jazzy atmosphere and fuses impressively with the folktronica elements, then Suzuki’s skillful bluesy solo appears at latter part of the song. We can see the each track is transformed by reacting with Nakaie’s visual works, and is created to color the spaces.
Then the slow tempo and lo-fi rhythm contained in “flow” reminds of sunset beach scenery. In the end of the album, “eternitica” playbacks the blissful moments and loneliness, as if one is pulled into the story but suddenly the ending comes.
Throughout the album, the varieties of musical essence are mixed with the rich melody lines to create musical expression to stir listener’s emotions, and the skillfully developed sound composition builds the own universe of sounds. A pure, unfettered, and beautiful debut album of akisai connects the people’s imagination deeply to the sound created from the visuals what interprets the abstractness of “emotions”.

The exploration from the shared senses received from faraway land “Japan”, made it possible to create a new music interpretation.
A noble, beautiful masterpiece is crafted from the combination of classical music techniques and modern technologies, with the sensitive piano touch and rhythmical percussion.
Quentin Sirjacq, a French pianist-composer, releases his third original album.
By comparing with the piano-focused previous album “Piano Memories”, more rhythms can be heard through this entire album, by adding more polyrhythm patterns into music using percussions such as marimba, vibraphone, and glockenspiel.
The tone color is selected from piano, fender rhodes, or synthesizer according to composition style, and also jazz and classical music composition style is combined into electronic music with a mixture of various rhythm and genres, which will bring a new interpretation to the music.
Hoping to release an album from a faraway land Japan, then he began to explore for chances how the music can be accepted in the different culture. The music was written with his new sense by sharing the story, surrounding, and reality experienced in Japan.
Quentin Sirjacq continues searching for what “music” should be, and all the possibilities are contained with disorder in this piece of album.
