“ANALAPOS” is a distinctive echo instrument created in 1970 by sound art pioneer Akio Suzuki. Its structure connects the bottoms of 2 iron cans like a string telephone; striking or rubbing the body manipulates reverberations, producing rich resonances in space. Main characteristics of ANALAPOS: Structure: The bottoms of 2 iron cans (cylinders) face each other, with a spring-like string stretched between them. Playing method: Striking or rubbing it with hands or sticks produces sound, generating resonance and echoes to perform distinctive spatial music. Roots: It emerged from the process of Suzuki's self-study events of “throwing” sounds into space and “tracing” their echoes, which he has conducted since the 1960s. One of his representative works over his many years of creative activity, it has been widely performed and exhibited at contemporary art exhibitions and performances in Japan and abroad.
「アナラポス(ANALAPOS)」は、サウンド・アートの先駆者である鈴木昭男が1970年に創作した独自のエコー楽器です。2つの鉄製缶の底を糸電話のようにつなげた構造をしており、本体を叩いたり擦ったりして反響音を操り、空間に豊かな響きを生み出します。アナラポス(ANALAPOS)の主な特徴構造: 2つの鉄製の缶(円筒)の底を向かい合わせ、その間にバネのような糸を張った構造をしています。演奏方法: 手やスティックで叩いたり、擦ったりして音を出し、共鳴やエコーを発生させることで独自の空間音楽を奏でます。ルーツ: 鈴木氏が1960年代から行っている、空間に音を投げて反響を聴く「なげかけ」と「たどり」という自修イベントのプロセスから生まれました。鈴木氏の長年の創作活動における代表的な作品の一つであり、現代アートの展覧会やパフォーマンスなどで国内外を問わず広く演奏・展示されています。
