“Dance of the Ants” Yoshiyuki Yatsuhashi Plays ANTONIO LOPEZ Loto-15

八橋義幸
Today’s full moon is the Pink Moon. It would be a lie to say I wasn’t influenced by Nick Drake. “Dance of the Ants,” from my solo album. I played the Antonio Lopez, a classical guitar made by artisans in Spain, where they originated. With folk-style three-finger picking, the melody shifts from E Dorian mode to E Ionian. Entirely composed of whole tones, the song changes keys like sliding land.
It’s almost been a year since I launched this fixed-point observation video series. Sometimes it could be right or could be wrong. Try and try and try to find that route.

今日の満月はピンク・ムーン。ニック・ドレイクに影響を受けていないというのは嘘になる。僕のソロ作品から「ダンス・オブ・ジ・アンツ」。本場スペインの職人が作ったガット・ギター、アントニオ・ロペスをフォーク風スリーフィンガーで演奏した。EドリアンモードからEアイオニアンへ。ちょうど全音、地滑りするような転調の曲だ。
この定点観察動画シリーズを初めてもうすぐ一年。時には道を見失う。でも兎に角探しつづけようではないか。

Dance of the Ants

Climb up the bark of the big tree
You’ll see new leaves on a thin twig
Climb up that rugged surface
You’ll see vermin eating other leaves

Find the route
Where you don’t lose yourself
Sometimes it could be right or could be wrong

Step by step
Step by step
Don’t take your eyes off the lane

You’ll find a brood happily chirping
Or you’ll find a mother bird crying for lost chicks

Find the route
Where you don’t lose yourself
Sometimes it could be right or could be wrong

Step by step
Step by step
Don’t take your eyes off the lane

Try and try and try to find that route
Try and try and try to find that route
Try and try and try to find that route
Try and try and try to find that route
