PLAY THE SOUND
季節ごとに音の坐の音源を配信しています。
山、水辺、街の片隅。そこに響く環境音と、静かなギターのオーケストラです。
We share seasonal recordings of Oto no Za.
Mountains, watersides, and quiet corners of the city.
They weave together the ambient sounds that resonate in these places with a gentle guitar orchestra.

We share seasonal recordings of Oto no Za. Mountains, watersides, and quiet corners of the city. They weave together the ambient sounds that resonate in these places with a gentle guitar orchestra.
世界は、つねに響いています。
風の音、遠くの気配、
かすかな生活の音、
そして、自分の呼吸。
それらを分けている境界がほどけるとき、
私たちは、音を対象として聴くのではなく、
響きの一部として在ることを、身体で知ります。
音の坐は、
そのことを思い出すための、
静かな時間。
音の坐は、
世界の響きに耳を澄ませる時間です。
ただ坐り、身を委ねると、
音を隔てていた境界が、
静かにほどけていきます。
自分もまた、その響きの一部であるように。
Sound is born in time,
and fades away.
As we entrust ourselves
to this passing,
the sense of “self” as something fixed
also begins to soften,
and we quietly see
that it, too, exists within a flow.
Oto no Za
arose where
sound shifting in time
and a quiet gaze into being
naturally meet.
Not to understand something,
but simply to feel.
Oto no Za
is a time to listen closely
to the resonance of the world.
When we simply sit
and entrust ourselves,
the boundaries that once separated sound
quietly begin to loosen—
as if we, too,
are part of that resonance.
The world
is always resonating.
Wind, distant presences,
the faint sounds of living,
and your own breathing.
When the boundaries between them loosen,
we are no longer
the ones who listen to sound,
but part of the resonance itself.
Oto no Za—
a quiet time
to remember.
