Mayphy and Etsuko Muraki

We are delighted to announce the next concert this summer, with artists who met on a healing wavelength. Mayphy & Etsuko Muraki will have their fourth concert at Mandaracha on July 12.

MANDARACHA PRESENTS:

~The Sound of Summer Breeze~

In the ancient capital of Kyoto, where the sun shines and the colors of summer are shining, let's clear our ears and hearts and appreciate the natural change of seasons.

Take your time with the summer breeze, as if taking a sip of tea.

July 12 (Sat)

17:00-18:00

at Kyoto Mandaracha Tea House

Reservation required: 075 (285) 3283

At this concert, first of all, there is time to feel with your body the clear sound and long reverberation of the bell,and the comfortable sound that changes from a stable sound that resonates straight to a fluctuating sound. Afterwards, there will be songs woven by Mayphy on piano and vocals, and improvised compositions.

There will also be time to enjoy the new worlds that the two create through their harmony, with seasonal themes.

The collaboration song will be "Rebirth," which Mayphy composed in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in 2011, and the piano accompaniment will be "La mer," a sea song from the chanson album produced by Mayphy, released on the summer solstice this year.

There will also be an improvised vocal story on the theme of nature and summer, set to the exquisite harmony of the orin, which is well worth listening to.

The event will include a Japanese-style mandala tea ceremony, and gentle vegan desserts and tea.

Etsuko Muraki profile:

Utilizing her experience as a therapist, she will be active as a “sound therapist” as a player of the Kyoto Sabari Orin from 2020. Orin, which is characterized by its clear tone and long reverberation, calms the listener's mind and brings deep relaxation. Through performances in spaces where you can feel nature and tradition, such as Japanese gardens, teahouses, and hotel events, we provide a "Sound Bath" where you can feel the sound with your whole body. During the performance, your five senses are sharpened, your concentration is heightened, and you will have a rich sense of emotion. We have also conveyed the charm of orin as a traditional culture of Kyoto to people overseas, and have received positive reviews.

[About Sahari Orin]

We use orin made by Nanjo Kobo in Uji, Kyoto, which continues to specialize in making orin, hayashi gongs, and musical instruments for Shinto and Buddhist altars, based on the advanced techniques and wisdom cultivated over a history of over 200 years since its founding.

"Sahari" is an alloy of copper and tin that was also used in the Shosoin treasures in ancient times.

At Nanjo Kobo, we take advantage of the characteristics of the material with the unique blend ratio and traditional techniques inherited from generation to generation, and create unique tones.

セラピストとしての経験を活かし、2020年より京都佐波理おりんの奏者として「音のセラピスト」として活動する。澄んだ音色と長い余韻が特徴のおりんは、聴く人の心を穏やかにし、深いリラックスをもたらします。日本庭園や茶室、ホテルイベントなど、自然や伝統を感じられる空間での演奏を通じて、音の響きを全身で感じる「音浴（Sound Bath）」の時間を提供。演奏中は五感が研ぎ澄まされ、集中力が高まり、感性豊かな時間に。海外の方々にも京都の伝統文化としてのおりんの魅力を伝え、好評をいただく。

【佐波理おりんについて】

創業200年余りの歴史に培われた高度な技術と知恵をもとに、おりん、囃子鉦、鳴物神仏具を専門につくり続ける京都宇治にある南條工房様のおりんを使用。

「佐波理(さはり)」とは、古くは正倉院宝物にも用いられた銅と錫の合金です。
