Bie Suo & Friends

Song Smuggler 歌曲走私者

樺太アイヌの伝統楽器トンコリ一本で単身台湾に乗り込み、台湾のローカルミュージックシーンを開拓しながら地道にソロ活動を続けて来たBie Suo（別所誠洋）が新たに結成したバンド “Bie Suo & Friends” の1stアルバム「Song Smuggler 歌曲走私者」が、2024年4月台湾の原住民系音楽レーベル藤・音樂工作室よりリリースされる。

2016年より続けて来た台湾各地を巡るライブ旅で出会った様々な民族のミュージシャンやアーティスト達との交流で培った経験を見事にアルバムに昇華させ、これまでのソロアルバムのアコースティックな作風から一転、エレキ仕様に改造されたトンコリにベース、ドラム、ギターが加りサイケ感漂うロックアルバムとなった本作は、全ての作詞作曲をBie Suoが手掛け、メンバーには日本の野外フェス黎明期からフジロックやグラストンベリーフェスなどで活躍した伝説のバンド”天空オーケストラ”のパーカッショニストで現在も様々なバンドで活躍するドラマー信藤真実と、フランス人ベーシストIsis Bouが加わり、ゲストギタリストに沖縄出身の宮城善光[寿kotobuki]が参加。更に、中華圏のグラミー賞とも呼ばれる金曲獎の最佳原住民專輯獎を2016年と2018年に受賞した阿美族のマルチプレイヤー蘇瓦那（Suana）がゲストボーカルとして参加している。

日仏沖縄台湾という多民族なメンバーが織りなすサウンドのレコーディング、ミックス、マスタリングまで全ての作業を、細野晴臣のサウンドエンジニアを務めたことで知られる椛島隆(LMD)が手掛けている。

「僕はアイヌじゃないけどトンコリを弾いている偽者なので、トンコリらしからぬ音楽をトンコリで作りたかった。」と語るBie Suo。

「Song Smuggler」というアルバムタイトルには自ら偽者だと語るBie Suo流の皮肉が込められている。独自に考案したというトンコリ奏法から生まれた楽曲は、どこか懐かしいメロディーにトンコリらしからぬリフとサイケデリックなギターが絡み合い、黒潮に乗ってアジアの民族音楽を巻き込みながらロックする。

A new band formed by Bie Suo, who is a Tonkori player of Sakhalin Ainu traditional musical instruments.

“Bie Suo & Friends”1st album < Song Smuggler > will be released in spring 2024 from Taiwanese indigenous music label Masay Music Studio.

This work is a rock album with a psychedelic feel that is different from Bie Suo’s previous solo works, with Tonkori, which has been modified to electric specifications, as the main part, and bass, drums, and guitar added.

This album was written and composed by Bie Suo, and the drums are played by Masazane Nobuto, who is active in various bands, French bassist Isis Bou, and guest guitarist Yoshimitsu Nahgushiku from Okinawa. Furthermore, Ami’s multi-instrumentalist Suana, who won Taiwanese music award the Golden Melody Award for Best Indigenous Album in 2016 and 2018, participates as a guest vocalist. Takashi Kabashima, who is famous as Haruomi Hosono's sound engineer, handled all recording, mixdown, and mastering of the performances by members of various ethnic groups such as Japan, France, Okinawa, and Taiwan, resulting in a high-quality work.

"I'm not an Ainu, I'm a fake player of Tonkori. So I wanted to use Tonkori to create music that doesn't sound like Tonkori.” says Bie Suo. “I grew up with parents who left their hometown to live in the city, and I moved around all the time, so I had no place to call hometown and no familiar local folk songs. That's why I created imaginary roots music based on the scenery of my imaginary hometown, using the essence of various ethnic music from around the world that I love. This album is a fantasy show that takes place at a festival in an imaginary hometown village. This is a song about those who travel in search of a home to return to.

” Even the album title, “Song Smuggler” is filled with irony that is unique to him, who says I’m a fake. The songs that were born from his original Tonkori playing style are based on rock and sprinkled with the essence of Asian folk music, and the somewhat nostalgic melodies are intertwined with psychedelic guitars. A unique fiction world has been created. This is an album that will be worth listening to for both rock fans and Asian music fans.

ビエスオ (ex. 天空オーケストラ) がトンコリの新たな可能性に挑んだ2枚組ソロアルバム。

トンコリとの出会いから9年。トンコリ、ルーツ、自我と真摯に向き合い関わり合い解体し、アイヌ音楽という伝統の外側で再構築したトンコリ新世界の扉を開く全世界待望のニューアルバム。

自然音をミックスしたアンビエントサウンド〜トンコリの弾き語り〜バンドアンサンブルまで全19曲、Bie Suo作詞作曲によるオリジナル作品。3ヶ国語で歌うSKETCH 1と、インストゥルメンタル曲を集めたSKETCH 2の2枚組。

BieSuo's new album will be released on June 15th at stores nationwide. It is on sale in advance at the Online store.

For two years when all the live performances were suddenly canceled due to the appearance of the covid-19, the two-disc album contains a record of daily thoughts written with the sound of tonkori as if writing a diary. All performances, programming and recording are done by Bie Suo, and LMD's KABAMIX is in charge of mastering. An original work composed by Bie Suo with a total of 19 songs, including an ambient sound that mixes the natural sounds of the sea, mountains, and towns of Taiwan, a tonkori solo, and a band ensemble. A two-disc set consisting of SKETCH 1 singing in Japanese, Chinese and English, and SKETCH 2 which is a collection of instrumental songs by Tonkori. Nine years after the encounter with Tonkori, this album serves as a guide to open the door to the New World of Tonkori, who faced Tonkori, faced himself, dismantled, and tried to reconstruct outside the tradition of Ainu music.
