Production note 　

One year ago, I received an email from someone in the UK, introduced by Yokoi san, the organizer of Schlippenbach's Trio concerts in Japan. I was told that Roger san would like to play with Yuji san in Shizuoka, so I immediately replied with a "yes". 　I discovered that Yuji sanﾕs email address contains the word "clinamen", which made me curious and led to my discovering an art installation called "clinamen" where sounds are created by pieces of pottery floating and colliding together in a water tank. 　It reminded me of seeing the artist, Tatsuo Kawaguchi's work, the "Lavender's pool". I decided to call the concert "music firing into the air". The day before the concert, we took Roger san and his wife to Miho no Matsubara by car, with my wife driving. It was a rather warm winter's day in December, and we could see Mount Fuji clearly in the cloudless sunset. On the concert day, all of us went to the Shizuoka station to pick up Yuji san, and headed to the Aoshima hall. Then, they started to play. This CD is the document of their music. 　　　　　　　　　　 (Shigeru Inoue)
