一昨年の11月だったかしら、アタシたちはまだアップステーツのニューバーグに居た。ほんのり暖かな晩秋、いつものお決まりコースだったハドソン川沿いの遊歩道を歩く。引っ越したら此処には今みたいに来れなくなるね、ビデオに収めておくか！と、どちらからともなく携帯で撮り始めたのよ。アタシのはブレきってたけれど、さすがオリンはきっちり撮っていた。しかも面白かったのは、夕陽がビデオを撮るオリンの影を浮かび上がらせ、あたかもミステリアスな何者かが河岸を歩いている。。これはオリンにとっても予想外の効果になったようだった。
It was November of the year before last, and we were still in upstate Newburgh. On a slightly warm late fall day, we walked along the promenade along the Hudson River, which was our usual route. If we move, we won’t be able to come here as much as we do now, so we naturally recorded these areas on video! We started taking pictures with each one’s cell phone. My shot was very blurry, but as expected, Orin’s shot was accurate. What was also interesting was that the setting sun made the shadow of Orin, who was taking the video, stand out, as if someone mysterious was walking along the riverbank. . This seemed to have an unexpected video scene effect on Orin as well.
その数ヶ月後にオリンが旅立ってしまうなんて。何一つ手につかぬまま、結局、その日から1年近く過ぎた昨年の晩秋に、やっと、、！編集を終えることができた。サウンドトラックはコンポーザーのベンジャミンに一任。彼とオリンはこれまで幾度となくビデオとサウンドでの実に豊かで繊細、ドラマティックかつシャープな現代電子ミュージックコラボレーションを試みていた。彼ら二人を誇りに思う。ビデオをアップするのが楽しみです。
Orin would be leaving a few months later…since then I almost didn’t get anything done, however in the late fall of last year, almost a year after that day, I finally…! I was able to finish editing. I asked Benjamin who is our friend and composer to create the soundtrack. He and Orin have often experimented with modern electronic music collaborations that are truly rich, delicate, dramatic, and sharp in video and sound. I’m proud of them both. Let me do uploading the video soon.
