2/19(水)にやります！！[伊藤志宏ｘ瀬尾高志]DUOライブ。
即興で組曲を創るような二部構成のライブ。西荻窪にあったサンジャックから始まり、もう10年以上続けている。
志宏さんとの音での対話は、極限まで試されているようで、いきなり踏み入れたことの無い世界へ行ってしまう事もある。言葉に表せない美しさ。一音出す事も恐ろしいような中、手探りで懸命に音を紡ぐと大きな発見もある。ヒリヒリするような、今の音を出したい。是非お立会いください。

A two-part live performance in which the musicians improvise to create suite. It started at Saint-Jacques in Nishiogikubo and has been going on for more than 10 years.
The dialogue with Shikou in sound seems to be tested to the limit, and sometimes we suddenly go to a world we have never entered before. A beauty that cannot be expressed in words.I groping and trying hard to weave sounds in such a way that it is frightening to even produce a single note. Then there are big discoveries. I want to create a tingling, current sound. Please come and witness us.
