家電電楽 x 雅楽│Electromagnetic Music x Gagaku (from “ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!“)[Performance]

家電におる「電磁音楽」と日本最古のオーケストラ「雅楽」のコラボレーション・プロジェクト。
Collaboration project between Electromagnetic Music by home appliances and the oldest orchestra in Japan, Gagaku.

1秒間に60の速度で映像を送るブラウン管の楽器は、60の倍数480Hzが基準音程。
A=440Hzの国際基準とは調律が合わず、既存楽器とのアンサンブルは難しい。
しかし、なんと「雅楽」とは1000年の時を越えて奇遇にも音程が一致。
古来からの波と、電気の時代の波の融合を試みる。
The CRT instruments that send images at a rate of 60 per second have a standard pitch of 480Hz, a multiple of 60.
It is not tuned to the international standard A=440Hz, making it difficult to ensemble with existing instruments.
But by a strange coincidence, the pitch of the Japanese ancient music Gagaku was almost the same as it.
This project attempts to fuse the ancient waves with the electric age waves.
