about

Non-conceptual, meaningless, not bound by concepts, pursuit of meaninglessness, not concerned with purpose or achievement, not bound by conventional rules or restrictions, free to think and think beyond the scope of conventional conceptual thinking and understanding. It attempts to point to phenomena and conditions that cannot be fully captured by words and concepts. It is based on intuitive understanding or direct experience and cannot refer to something that cannot be adequately explained by logical structures or verbal definitions.
Understanding and discussion of non-concepts are subjective and philosophical in character.

New perspectives and ideas are generated by questioning one's own thinking and beliefs and fostering flexible thinking by having an open mind and not being bound by preconceived notions and thought patterns about oneself. By acquiring multiple perspectives and actively incorporating new information and knowledge to learn different perspectives and approaches, one can free oneself from stereotypes and become more flexible in one's thinking.
Stimulate creativity and enhance one's own creativity by exploring different worlds of expression. Expand one's potential by taking on new challenges and not being afraid of failure or difficulty, as it is important to follow one's own interests and passions without being bound by established frameworks or social expectations.

By thinking freely and exercising creativity without being bound by conventional rules and restrictions, new ideas and perspectives are born, and unpredictable developments and surprises occur. Often leads to a sense of liberation and stress relief, and one feels lightness of heart and joy through innocent play, free from the constraints and pressures of reality. By shaking up one's perspective on reality and common sense, one can gain a broader perspective by looking at new ways of thinking and values without being bound by conventional thought patterns.

The fun of meaninglessness can be experienced by exercising flexible thinking and sensitivity while being a little playful in one's daily life. However, it is important to maintain balance and enjoyment rather than always engaging in the meaningless.
Non-conceptual music is a genre of music that tends to intentionally eliminate or minimize traditional musical elements such as melody, rhythm, and structure. This genre of music is not based on the regular forms and patterns of a typical musical composition, but aims to pursue new sonic experiences and aural explorations.

These were created to break musical conventions and constraints and to pursue creative expression without being bound by existing musical rules and frameworks. As a result, the sonic materials and structures within a piece are extremely diverse, and abstract acoustics, noise, dissonance, patterns of repetition and change, and time and space effects may be used. It is also intended to evoke different sensations and thoughts in the audience. Individual acoustic elements, sound arrangements, and other elements may create their own unique expression and create a new musical experience for the audience. Non-conceptual music is also often associated with improvisation and the experimental aspects of electronic music.

Non-conceptual music can be difficult for some audiences to understand because it pursues a freedom of expression that is not bound by traditional musical concepts and rules. However, it has become an important experimental approach to expanding the possibilities of music.

非概念・意味を持たない・概念に囚われない・意味の無さの追求・目的や成果にこだわらない・従来のルールや制約に縛られずに自由に発想する従来の概念的な思考や理解の範疇を超えるもの。それは言葉や概念では完全に捉えられない現象や状態を指し示すことを試みるもの。直感的な理解や直接的な経験に基づくものであり、論理的な構造や言葉による定義では十分に説明されないものを指すことができないもの。
非概念についての理解や議論は主観的で哲学的な性格を持つ。

自分自身に対して既成の概念や思考パターンに囚われずオープンマインドな姿勢を持つことで自分の考え方や信念に疑問を投げかけ柔軟な思考を育むことで新たな視点やアイデアが生まれる。多角的な視点を身につけ、新しい情報や知識を積極的に取り入れ異なる視点やアプローチを学ぶことで固定観念から解放され柔軟な発想が可能になる。
創造性を刺激し、異なる表現の世界を探求することで自分自身の創造力を高めることができる。既成の枠組みや社会の期待に囚われず、自分自身の興味や情熱に従って行動することが重要であり、新しいことに挑戦し失敗や困難を恐れずに自分の可能性を広げる。

従来のルールや制約に縛られずに自由に発想し、創造力を発揮することで新たなアイデアや視点が生まれ予測不可能な展開や驚きが生じる。しばしば解放感やストレス解消につながり現実の制約やプレッシャーから解放され無邪気に遊ぶことで心の軽さや喜びを感じる。現実の視点や常識が揺さぶられることで従来の思考パターンにとらわれず新たな考え方や価値観に目を向けることでより広い視野を得ることができる。

意味のないことの面白さは、日常の中で少し遊び心を持ちながら、柔軟な思考や感性を発揮することで体験できる。ただし、常に意味のないことに取り組むのではなくバランスを保ちながら楽しむことが大切である。
非概念音楽は、音楽の一ジャンルであり、従来のメロディやリズム、構成などの伝統的な音楽的要素を意図的に排除したり、最小限に抑えたりする傾向がある。このジャンルの音楽は、一般的な楽曲のような規則的な形式やパターンに基づかず、新たな音響体験や聴覚的な探求を追求することを目指している。

これらはは音楽の慣習や制約を破り、既存の音楽のルールや枠組みにとらわれずに創造的な表現を追求するために生まれた。そのため、楽曲内の音素材や構造は非常に多様であり、抽象的な音響やノイズ、不協和音、繰り返しや変化のパターン、時間や空間の演出などが用いられることがある。また、聴衆に対して異なる感覚や思考を喚起することを意図している。個々の音響要素や音の配置、その他の要素が独自の表現を生み出し、聴衆に新たな音楽的な体験をもたらすことがあります。また、非概念音楽はしばしば即興演奏や電子音楽の実験的な側面とも結びついている。

非概念音楽は、伝統的な音楽の概念や規則に縛られずに自由な表現を追求するため、一部の聴衆にとっては理解しにくい場合もある。しかし、音楽の可能性を広げるための実験的なアプローチとして、重要な存在となっている。

Words: Ikuko Morozumi


It sounds as if you are watching an action movie about drug couriers in a movie theater in a parallel world where you have wandered into.
まるで迷い込んだ並行世界の映画館で、麻薬の運び屋が繰り広げるアクション映画を観ているようなサウンド。
