An unknown underwater environmental music piece created in 2004 by Takashi Kokubo, one of the recently re-evaluated environmental musicians who is still active in live performances. This work was composed by Kokubo based on recordings of water sounds in and around Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake, by Hisakatsu Yamazaki, who is engaged in activities/research on underwater sounds as part of environmental learning. Yamazaki's original underwater microphone "River Stethoscope" is used to record the spring water at the bottom of the lake, Ukimido, one of the Eight Views of Omi, the mysterious cove of inner part of Lake Biwa, more. You can enjoy the cool and refreshing sound that is the ”Kokubo Sound” throughout. How about using it as a being cool piece to overcome this global abnormal heat?

現在でもライブ活動をこなす近年再評価される環境音楽家のひとり小久保隆が2004年に手掛けた水中環境音楽作品。本作は水中音を環境学習の一環とした活動/研究を行っている山崎久勝による日本最大の湖である琵琶湖及びその周辺での水の録音を元に小久保が作曲を行ったもの。山崎が独自に開発した水中マイクロフォン「川の聴診器」を用いた湖底の湧水、近江八景の一つ浮御堂、奥琵琶湖の幽玄な入江などで収録された素材が使われています。小久保印の浸透してくる清涼なサウンドを全編で堪能できます。この異常な暑さを凌ぐ納涼作品としてもいかがでしょうか。
