西麻布ブレッツ閉店の報に際して

長年に渡りお世話になり続けてきた西麻布のブレッツが今月いっぱいで閉店されるとの報を聞き、
全くもって様々なる感情、様々な思い出がとめどなく溢れてきて言葉にならないのですが、
私、散歩が特に音楽の活動を今のような形で発展、継続させてこられたのは、全く持って
十数年来のブレッツとの出会いがなければなかったことである事は疑いようもなく、
数え切れないほどのクリエイティブで素敵な方々との出会いや、音楽や時に映像の発表の場を与えてくださった事、
日頃からブレッツには今まで頂いたものが多すぎて、とてもではないけどお返しできないなという気持ちおりましたが、
遂にやっぱりお返しできなかったなという気持ちです。

近年、アメリカから帰国して数年のブランクを経て伺っても、
変わらず以前のように迎えてくれた赤い絨毯、
行けばいつでも、素敵な方々に出会えたブレッツ。
悲しいですが、でも、またいつか生まれ変わってお会いできると信じて、
閉店というより卒業をお祝いしたいと思います。

本当にどうもありがとうございました。
今月いっぱいできる限り遊びに行きます。

New animation "A life line"

New animation "A life line".
It is a fantasy short film inspired from daily life or daily scenery of Tokyo. Unfortunately, part of an element of this film, suicide is a kind of daily scenery in this society.
Also, it's a part of my short film project,"urban spirits",
that's the basis of a concept come from Japanese folklore "TSUKUMOGAMI".
In this series, the story teller is self-awared forgotten objects in present society.

-A man who depressed his life is trying to jump off from the roof of building.
At that time,he receive a phone call. -

Happy New year 2018

The DigitalBigScreen Festival has been going on since 2010, with annual augmentations of the programme.
It offer those visual artists engaged in video production the possibility to have their works screened on a big cinematic screen, thus enabling them the insight into contemporary visual practice in a new manner.
The purpose of the festival is to make video projection of the formats intended for the screening on a big cinematic screen possible.
Latest acquisition is a digital Sony KA4 projector, giving the participating authors a high quality presentation of the works that are usually not intended for screenings at movie theatres. It also makes possible the transmission of the submitted works into the Slovenian Art Cinema network, therefore extending the audience and the reach of the target audience, that usually have no access to such contents.
