about

Neighbor’s Dream self liner notes [English liner notes below]

昨年２月にリリースした「Apple Sleep」に於いて
初めてコラボレーションを果たせた才人が居る

彼の名前は「sleepdealer」

耳にしたこともある方は多いだろう

浮遊感と
そして不安と安定が混在したビートメーカーだ
現在はアメリカから日本に移住しており
一度だけ対面を果たせた事がある
彼の印象は音源の通り儚げだがとてもパワフルな
気さくな方だった

「Apple Sleep」では「Down」という曲を共作した

私のメロディラインと彼の織り成すビートの浮遊感が見事に（敢えて自ら言うが）融合したのではないだろうか
メロディを作り唄を吹き込む作業が楽しかった事を今でも覚えて居る

今回念願叶って再び彼とタッグを組む事が出来た
しかも全曲彼との共作だ
初めに送って頂いたビートを耳にした時は矢張り驚いた

生活環境音
サンプリング
流麗なキーボード

第一印象は「夢」だった
まるで現実味の無い
夢と現の境目に立って居るかの様な

真っ先に今作のアルバムタイトルが思い浮かんだ

「Neighbor's Dream」

直訳すると「隣人の夢」

現実では有り得ないその夢を覗き見して居るかの様な
新しい発見があったのだ

ソングタイトルは彼のワーキングタイトルをほぼそのまま引用した
何故なら「隣人」でもある彼の夢を吸収したかったからだ

また今作は英語での作詞にも挑戦してみた
私の過去の楽曲群は殆ど日本語
だけどこれは「夢」
今回の彼のビートとアイディアそしてアルバムタイトルにぴったり当て嵌まりそうな予感がした

私は詩を書き
彼のビートにほんの少しのドラムを付加させ
唄を吹き込んだ

全7曲のミニアルバム
曲が全て出揃い
HAMACIDEさんにmixを
そしてYosi Horikawa氏のマスタリングが上がって
改めて通して聴いた時
此れ迄に無い程の美しいアルバムが出来たと痛感した

新しいものを模索すること
そして新しい世界を生み出すのはとても苦痛を伴うがとても楽しいものだ

是非皆様にも此の未知なる「夢」をご覧になって頂きたい

最後に
今作に関わって下さった全ての方々と貴方に敬意を表する

工藤 鴎芽 - Kudo Kamome

I first collaborated with this brilliant producer on my album Apple Sleep, released in February this year. His name is Sleepdealer. Many of you have probably heard of him.

Sleepdealer’s music combines a floating feeling with a sense of danger and steadiness. He is from the US and now lives in Japan. I met him once in person. My first impression of him was that he is like his music, relaxed yet powerful. Friendly.

On Apple Sleep, we collaborated on a song called Down. My melody lines and his floating beat fit perfectly together. I remember how much fun it was to write the melodies and record my vocals.

My wish to collaborate with Sleepdealer again came true. Every song on this new album is a joint production with him. Once again, I became excited when I first listened to the beats he sent me.

Sound recordings of everyday life, samples, beautiful keyboard sounds.

My first impression was “dream”, as if I was standing on the border of reality and a dream. I came up with the album title right then. Neighbor’s Dream

I made a discovery as if I was peering into a neighbor’s dream.

I kept all of the working titles as the official song titles. I wanted to absorb his dream, a neighbor’s dream.

I challenged myself by writing in English on this album. My past releases are mostly in Japanese. But this is a dream. I had a feeling that his beats and ideas would go perfectly with the album title.

I wrote lyrics, added drums to some of his beats, and recorded vocals.

Neighbor’s Dream is a mini-album containing a total of 7 songs. After Hamacide mixed the album and Yosi Horikawa mastered it, I once again realized that I made my most beautiful album yet.

Searching for new things and creating new worlds are struggles but very fun.

I would like everybody experience this never before seen “dream”.

In conclusion, I would like to thank you and everybody involved from the bottom of my heart.
