WORLD IN SHADOW

Yann Tomita / Doopees - The Living Sound

ビルが立ち上がる音が聞こえる

街が空へと伸びていくにつれて

夢が猛スピードで動き出す音が聞こえる

街が新たな一歩を踏み出すにつれて

その目は星を見つめ

その足は大地をしっかりと踏みしめて

A.S.Lに耳を傾けてみて

息づく街の響きを感じて

湖に浮かぶ夏の帆船から

冬の最初の雪まで

運河を行く艀（はしけ）から

空高く飛ぶジェット機まで

偉大な過去の息吹を感じ

巨大な船の姿を目にする場所

A.S.Lに耳を傾けてみて

息づく街の響きを感じて

A.S.L

You can hear the buildings rise

As the city goes higher

You can hear the dream rollin' fast

As the city steps out

With its eyes on the stars

And its feet on the ground

Listen to A.S.L

And hear a living sound

From the summer sails on the lake

To the first snows of winter

From the barges on the canal

To the high-flyin' jets

Where a great past is felt

Where a big boat is found

Listen to A.S.L

And hear a living sound

A.S.L

あまり意識せずに聞こえてくる音に耳を傾けてみよう

遠くから聞こえる音、近くのどこかから聞こえる音

日常生活の中で聞こえる音に耳を傾けてみよう

今まで気づかなかった素敵な音に出会うかもしれない

そして、その音を注意深くズームインしてみると、別の世界が見えるかもしれない

さあ、ズームインしてみよう

(日常生活の中で聞こえる音に耳を傾けてみよう。)

(別の世界が見えるかもしれない。)

(今まで気づかなかった素敵な音に出会うかもしれない。)

(別の世界が見えるかもしれない。)

Let's have a listen to the sounds you hear without much attention

Sounds from far away, sounds from somewhere nearby

Let's listen to the sounds you hear in your life

You might find some wonderful sound you did not notice before

And if you carefully zoom in that particular sound, you may see a different world

Now let's zoom it in

(Let's listen to the sounds you hear in your life.)

(You may see a different world.)

(You might find some wonderful sound you did not notice before.)

ABOUT

AUDIO SCIENCE LABORATORY

Audio Science Laboratory (A.S.L.) was established in 1989 with the theme of “expanding consciousness through music.” It is an independent, private research institute. Rather than being funded by academia or the government, it has been operated by professional musicians who use the profits from their work to fund research and then apply the findings back to commercial music. I should also note that this has been made possible by the support of our collaborators.

　The concept of “expanding consciousness” originates from the chemical compound LSD 25, synthesized in 1938 by Dr. Albert Hofmann, a scientist at the Swiss pharmaceutical company Sandoz. Until 1966, this chemical was a legal substance available as a therapeutic drug with a doctor’s prescription. Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), recognizing the potential of LSD-25, placed the drug under its control and conducted repeated experiments throughout the 1950s to test its possibilities. A wide range of studies were conducted, including gathering 100 painters and having them create artwork both while under the influence of LSD and while sober; reports that a single dose had the same effect on art students as four years of art school; experiments on Army units; its use as a truth serum; its administration to spies during the Cold War; and even “Operation Acid,” which targeted Egyptian President Nasser. In Japan, the documentary film “LSD Experiments” was produced in 1959 with the participation of Toshiki Shimazaki, a professor at Tokyo Medical and Dental University and a psychiatrist. Additionally, during a live radio broadcast, experiments were conducted under Shimazaki’s supervision with poet Shuntaro Tanikawa and mime artist Mamako Yonemyama as subjects. However, because the dose administered via intravenous injection was too high, the subjects ended up simply sleeping through the broadcast. Toshiki Shimazaki, a relative of the novelist Tōson Shimazaki, brought a breath of fresh air to Japanese psychiatry.

　By the 1960s, word of the drug’s effects began to spread gradually among experts; fueled by claims that “your consciousness expands and you become an amazing person,” it spread from the upper echelons of the bourgeoisie and politicians to university professors and artists. Ironically, when it was completely banned as an illegal substance in 1966, drug dealers stepped in, leading to an explosive surge in its use. This major movement of consciousness expansion came to be known as “psychedelia.” In Japan, following Toshiki Shimazaki’s experiments, it spread as “psychedelia” by 1968, and the trend of vividly colorful “psychedelia” made its way into living rooms through various media, becoming a cultural phenomenon. Shintaro Ishihara’s original novel “L·S·D” was published in the February issue of *Bungakukai*, and that same year, the Folk Crusaders’ “Kaette Kita Yoppara,” an avant-garde song that made full use of tape modulation and collage techniques derived from electronic music, became the biggest postwar hit, selling 2.7 million copies.

　I believe that LSD 25 was not originally intended for the pursuit of pleasure, but rather stemmed purely from an exploration of the question: “Just how far can human potential actually go?”

The Audio Science Laboratory does not endorse drug use—and I, for one, am a boring guy who doesn’t touch alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs at all—but we have operated under the theme of whether it is possible to expand consciousness purely through music. I am proud to say that the program “Yann Tomita’s World of Music—In Search of Expanded Consciousness Through Music” (90 minutes), which aired on NHK BS (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) on September 10 and November 23, 2013, represents a tangible achievement in this endeavor. A sequel is also planned, so I hope you’ll have the chance to watch it someday.
