Artistic Vision

Distorted Proportions began with discovering two musicians creating music in radically different ways: one through analog processes, the other through digital. Despite their differences, both embrace outdated equipment, unconventional methods, and the freedom to create entirely on their own terms.

Inspired by their independence, I approached filmmaking the same way, shooting the documentary alone with minimal equipment, an action camera for footage, and a Leica for still photography. The limitations became part of the creative process rather than obstacles.

This film is more than a documentary about musicians. It is an exploration of creative independence and the belief that meaningful art doesn't require an audience, expensive equipment, or permission. Sometimes, creating something simply because you want to is enough.

In the process, I became part of the same artistic journey, making music, photography, and filmmaking interconnected expressions of the same creative instinct.

アーティスティック・ビジョン

Distorted Proportions は、アナログとデジタルという全く異なる手法で音楽を創作する二人のミュージシャンとの出会いから始まった。彼らは古い機材や独自の方法を使いながら、誰にも頼らず、自分たちの自由な表現を追求している。

その姿に触発され、私自身も最小限の機材を使い、一人で撮影するという同じ精神で映画制作に取り組んだ。アクションカメラで映像を撮影し、Leicaで写真を記録する。制約は障害ではなく、創作の一部となった。

この作品は単なる音楽ドキュメンタリーではない。創作の自由と、自分自身のために芸術を生み出すことの意味を探る作品である。高価な機材も、観客も、誰かの許可も必要ない。何かを創りたいという衝動そのものが、すべての始まりとなる。

制作を通して、私は彼らと同じ創作の旅に参加し、音楽、写真、映画が一つの創造的な衝動から生まれる表現であることを実感した。
