Description:

PORTSMOUTH SINFONIA or 49 AMERICANS in Saitama? If you're so bitter, try it with your own hands! The amateur orchestra of the century", "A group of almost complete amateurs musically", "Doing their best in performance", "Destined to disappear on the spot", "Unintentional deviations by the performers", "What is the right sound in the first place", "Humorous music for the masses that even children can dance to". ------PORTSMOUTH SINFONIA "A group of old men and their neighbors." "Junk chaos created without caring about the mistakes." "Amateurism at its best, or just plain bad, or maybe genius. ------49 AMERICANS The following are some of the words taken from the product comments on the Disk Union online store, which were actually written on the occasion of the phantom CD reissue of the amateur experimental orchestra PORTSMOUTH SINFONIA and the analog reissue of the pinnacle of dislocated DIY post-punk, 49 AMERICANS.The music to which this applies as it is was on the border of Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture, not far from the southern tip of the northern Kanto region! The music is not intellectual, avant-garde, or outsider, but rather a local insider, an ordinary farmer's family who used to be a very common Bon Festival activity. Don't be fooled by the industrial feel of the gong that jumps into your ears upon first listen. The industry to which they belong is neither mechanical nor industrial, but primary industry. The main event of the Noryosai (summer evening) festival held every year on August 14 in this area, which once prospered from sericulture and is now covered with leek fields, is not the bon dance, handmade yakisoba noodles, or oyster ice, but a prize-drawing event held after the bon dance performance, in which households donate money to help each other win prizes. The first prize was a bicycle, the second prize was a wheelbarrow, which is still very useful in the community, and the participation prize was a box of tissues. There was no glittering stage, no sophisticated hand dance, and of course no tourists. And it was the members of the Folk Performing Arts Office of the Saitama Prefectural Folk Culture Center, Saitama's ALAN LOMAX group, who "rediscovered" this stone-throwing dance in the mulberry fields like prewar country blues in the cotton fields and presented it to the world. Shuhei Saito, Minoru Nikaido, and the other members of the Folk Performing Arts Room, who introduced themselves as spokespersons along with meticulous fieldwork, vacuum-packed amateur innocence and plain ambience in a method naturally different from that of GAVIN BRYARS, BRIAN ENO, DAVID TOOP, and others. The "Sakai Ishi Nage Odori" is a work by the folk song DJ unit "Risou Yorozen," who live in the modern age, to ask the music listeners of the world again in 2017, "What is the future of "listening" to folk songs and traditional performing arts in this way of recording, preserving and presenting them as they are at that moment in time? Let's leave aside what the boundary of Fukaya City is and what it is not. Music is like a pebble, there must be miraculous sounds lying all over the place, even in your Stone's Throw (= very close by). Throw a stone toward the border. !!!!!
