about

REMASTERD FOR DIGITAL STREAMING
INCLUDES A BAND CAMP EXCLUSIVE BONUS TRACK

Is it possible to make something like “unconventional music” in 2019?
Is it possible to make an original work?
Perhaps that’s very difficult. However, if continuing without giving up, not forget that kind of spirit, and we may get some response.
The fifth piece of the band “I’m not such a guy” who has been active for many years, mainly in Tokyo.
Members are active as TVCM, movie music, appearances of domestic / overseas large festivals, music teachers, etc.
The music looks like you are trying out various ideas after going back to the basics of music. It is both simple and complex, and both good and bad performers live together.
The composition of nine members, such as age and origin, is also broken down.
Well, in a nutshell, it’s an experimental instrumental music with room
music, with rock and jazz elements.
But there is something that you don’t want to say, surplus, something indivisible, or some kind of uncomfortable feeling.
There is an air of the age that is invisible but certainly exists.

２０１９年に「かつてない音楽」など作れるのだろうか。
正面からのオリジナルな作品など作れるのだろうか。
恐らくそれはとても難しい。
しかし、そういった気概を忘れずに、諦めずに続けていれば何かしらの手応えを掴むこともある。
東京を中心に長年活動するバンド「俺はこんなもんじゃない」の５枚目。
メンバーは、TVCMや映画の音楽、国内/海外の大型フェスの出演、音楽教師などとして、表立って活動をしている。
楽曲は、音楽の基礎に立ち返ったうえで、様々なアイデアを試しているような趣がある。
単純さも複雑さもあり、達者な演奏も、そうでない演奏も同居している。
年齢や出身など、９人のメンバー構成もバラバラである。
まあ、一言でいえばロック〜ジャズ要素のある、室内楽寄りの実験的なインストゥルメンタル音楽である。
しかし、そう言い切りたくない、余剰の部分、どこか割り切れなさというか、ある種の居心地の悪さのようなものがある。
そこには、目に見えないけれど確かに存在する時代の空気がある。

我們能在2019年製作“史無前例的音樂”嗎？
你能從前面製作原創作品嗎？
也許這很困難。
但是，如果你不忘記這種精神並繼續而不放棄，你可能會得到一些回應。
樂隊的第五首歌“我不是這樣的東西”，多年來一直活躍在東京。
會員在TVCM，電影音樂，國內/海外大型節日，音樂教師等方面都非常活躍。
在回歸音樂基礎之後，音樂有嘗試各種想法的味道。
既簡單又復雜，並且有專家和非專業的表演。
九個成員，如年齡和出身，也不同。
嗯，簡而言之，它是具有搖滾爵士元素的實驗性樂器音樂，更接近室內樂。

然而，有一個過剩的部分，一些不可分割的東西，或某種不舒服的東西。
有一種看不見的時代氣氛，但肯定存在。
