about

Shin Kikuchi, known for both as a co-founder of music and design production company “Schole Inc.” and as an art director of music label “Schole Records” who designs and produces artwork for label releases, will be releasing his first music album.
This album was produced with the inspiration from his second photo book “syn crho”. A pianist/composer, Itoko Toma, was invited as a collaborator whom Shin produced the design and visual works for her album released from Schole Records. A duo unit “synfilums” was formed to express the worldview of his film photography with sound.
Shin faced with his origin point “Photographs” and produced a photo book in 2012, which was a kind of time capsule project for himself, he edited and book bound with his own hand, so the memories won’t fade away with time and can be kept in his own mind, and to see how he captures these memories in a few years time. Due to COVID-19, he was forced to stay at home and came up with this idea, then he challenged to compose sound in his free time. A new life was given to the work by adding “music’ which was always besides him.
Schole Records label artists ‘akisai’ and ‘Paniyolo’ also featured as a guest musicians, whom performed a music at Shin Kikuchi’s photograph exhibition “syn crho” in 2016.


音楽・デザインプロダクションカンパニー「SCHOLE INC.」の代表であり、音楽レーベル Schole Records のアートディレクターとしてレーベル作品のデザインやアートワークを手がけてきた菊地慎による初めての音楽作品が完成しました。
自身２冊目の写真集「syn crho」をイメージして制作された本作は、菊地がSchole Recordsにてデザインや映像のプロデュースを手がけ、アルバムをリリースしたピアニスト・作曲家の当真伊都子を共同制作者に迎え、「synfilums」というユニットを結成、彼の撮影したフイルム写真の世界観を音楽で表現しています。
菊地にとっての原点である「写真」に向き合って2012年に制作された写真集は、時間の経過とともに薄れゆく記憶とそれを留める意識とその意味、それを自身の手で編集、製本して仕上げ、それを数年後の自分がどう捉えるのかという、本人にとってのタイムカプセル的なプロジェクトでした。新型コロロウィルスによって自粛を余儀なくされた日々でアイデアを思いつき、空いた（または生まれた）時間を使って挑戦、制作され、彼の常に隣にあった「音楽」が添えられる事で作品として新たな息吹が吹き込まれました。
写真集とCDを入れる特製Boxも数量限定で生産、写真集を以前に購入された方に向けてCD&特製Boxのみの販売も予定してます。

2016年に開催された菊地の写真展「syn crho」にてライブパフォーマンスを披露した、Schole Recordsのレーベルメイトでもある「akisai」、「Paniyolo」もゲスト参加しています。
