Soundscape of feast and the aesthetic consciousness of folk - a case-study on the autumn-feast of the Hachiman Shinto-shrine in Kutani / Hyogo Prefecture -

本课题试图将声景的概念应用于分析和描述宴席的非同寻常的情绪，为民间传统表演艺术开辟一种新的研究方法。整个盛宴的气氛只能通过耳朵感受到，但视觉上却感受不到，因为节日有各种节目，如便携式神龛、圣树、圣剑花车、两组舞者等等，它们穿过村里的所有街道，走遍居民的所有大门。事实上，每个节目都会在9月15日全天在村里的不同地方同时播出。我们记录了村子在某些地方和不同月份的特定时钟时间的声音，作为日常音景的素材。相反，宴席的声音是在村子的中心位置听到的，不间断地持续了九个小时。我们发现，时间事件在某种动态平衡上发展自己，最终包括无声持续时间和2)有一个符号-声音，在这里伴随着舞蹈的鼓声，它的功能是一种地面，整天都能听到，尽管断断续续。这种象征性的声音为宴会的持续时间提供了开始和结束；节日声音的动态形成了形成。库塔尼节日气氛的这种可塑性形成只有通过当地人民对传统表演艺术的欣赏、各种准备合作，包括成年人给男孩上的舞蹈课、社区意识等才能实现。

This project tries to apply the conception of soundscape to the analysis and to the description of the extraordinary mood of feast and to develop a new research method for traditional performing arts by folk. The entire atmosphere of the feast is felt only by the ear, but visually never, because the feast has such various programs as the portable shrines, the sacred tree, the float of the sacred halberd, two groups of dancers and still more, which proceed through all village streets and visit all the doors of habitants. Each program goes, indeed, concurrently in different places of the village all day long on the 15th September. We recorded the sounds of the village in certain places and on certain clock times of the different months as materials of everyday soundscape. On the contrary, the sounds of the feast were taken up at a central point of the village and nine hours long uninterruptedly. We find that event in time 1) develops itself on some balance of dynamics, eventually including silent durations and 2) has a symbol-sound, here the sound of drums accompanying the dances, which functions as a kind of ground, heard all day long, though off and on with breaks. This symbol-sound gave beginning and ending to the duration of the feast ; the dynamics of the festive sound wrought formative. This plastic formation of the festive atmosphere in Kutani was only possible by the appreciation by the local folk of the traditional performing arts, various preparatory cooperation including the dance-lessons given to boys by adults, the community-consciousness, etc.
