MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs (マス オブ ザ ファーメンティング ドレッグス, Masu obu za Fāmentingu Doreggusu) is a post-hardcore/shoegaze trio formed in Kobe, Japan in 2002. They are also popularly known by a shortened form of their name, Masu Dore (マスドレ). They are known for a tightly arranged, guitar-driven style, melodic pop vocals and a high-energy stage presence at their live events. They have been signed to the Japanese indie rock record label AVOCADO Records since the release of their self-titled EP in January 2008.

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs was formed in 2002 in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, with the original all-female lineup of Natsuko Miyamoto, Chiemi Ishimoto and Reiko Gotoh. The name of the band was conceived by simply lining up words the members liked. Following Reiko's departure from the band in October 2007, the band toured with the official lineup of Natsuko and Chiemi, with various musicians serving as a "support drummer". Their breakthrough came at the 2007 "Road to Tarbox Audition" competition held by EMI Japan, which put the band in contact with noted American record producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, OK Go) of Tarbox Road Studios. With Fridmann producing, they recorded two tracks, I F A Surfer and Bears (ベアーズ), which appeared on their 2008 self-titled E.P. In 2010, support drummer Yoshino Tsutomu became an official member of the band, prior to the release of their major label debut album.

惑星アブノーマル

惑星アブノーマル(わくせいアブノーマル)は、2013年に結成された日本のバンド。

ボーカルのTANEKOとキーボーディストのテナからなる女性2人組ユニットで、サイケデリックかつ変則的な楽曲と、観る者を圧倒する強烈なライブパフォーマンスが特徴。

二人の通う音楽大学では、毎年オーディションに受かった人だけ出られるライブがあり、第一期生だったTANEKOのバンドもそのライブに出演していた。それを偶然見かけて彼女のファンになったテナは、第二期生として大学に入学すると、旧メンバーと入れ替わりにTANEKOのバンドに加入した。TANEKOとテナの2人体制になってからまた新しいメンバーを入れた頃に、現在のバンドの原型が出来上がった。

2012年春、Ki/oon Recordsの設立20周年を記念した新人発掘オーディション「キューン20イヤーズオーディション」で、約4000組の応募者の中からファイナリスト11組の内の1組に選ばれ、4月8日に東京都のLIQUIDROOM ebisuで開催されたファイナルイベントに出場した。

2013年3月、初の全国流通盤となるミニアルバム「何でも無い凶器」をredrecからリリース。

2017年7月、TANEKOの完全セルフプロデュースによるシングル「ひとりになれない」と同曲のミュージックビデオをiTunes/Apple Musicにて先行リリース。。

バンドはTANEKOの独裁体制である。その形態は彼女と彼女を支えるテナの2人が基本形で、演奏隊は流動的である。

TANEKOは自分の中にある色々な物語を全て表現したい思いが強く、演劇・芝居も好きだし、ずっと小説家になりたいとも思っていた。そのため、同じ様に多種多様な音楽をやっている柴田淳や宇多田ヒカル、椎名林檎などのソロアーティストを特に好んでいる。特に小学校6年生からずっと聴いてきた椎名林檎の影響は強く、大学に入ってからもとりつかれたように彼女の音楽を聴いていた。ひとつの歌の中で、いろんな声を使い分けてボーカルを取るところも彼女に影響されているという。また、自分で曲を作るようになると、今度は彼女の曲作りをマネしようとしたが、なかなか近付くことが出来なかった。しかし、「神様ごっこ」を作ったときに自分のやり方を見つけ、初めて「自分はこういう風に曲を作っていけばいいんだ」と思えた。

385

Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, also known as the Haffner Symphony, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782. It was commissioned by the Haffners, a prominent Salzburg family, for the occasion of the ennoblement of Sigmund Haffner the Younger. The Haffner Symphony should not be confused with the eight-movement Haffner Serenade, another piece Mozart wrote on commission from the same family in 1776.

The Haffner Symphony did not start its life as a symphony, but rather as a serenade to be used as background music for the ennoblement of Sigmund Haffner. The Mozarts knew the Haffners through Sigmund Haffner's father, Sigmund Haffner the Elder, who had been mayor of Salzburg and who had helped them out on their early tours of Europe. The elder Haffner died in 1772, but the families remained in contact. In 1776, the younger Haffner commissioned a serenade for the wedding of Marie Elizabeth Haffner to Franz Xavier Spath. This work became the famous Haffner Serenade, which was so successful that, when the younger Sigmund Haffner was to be ennobled, it was only natural that Mozart was called upon to write the music for the occasion. The request to write music actually came via Mozart's father on 20 July 1782 when Mozart had no spare time. Mozart was "up to his eyeballs with work". Not only was he teaching, but he also had to rearrange the score of his opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail before July 28. In addition to these demands, his proposed marriage to Constanze Weber was threatened by a number of complications, including moving to a house on the Hohe Brücke in Vienna. Nevertheless, Mozart worked on the music, and sent it through section by section to his father. What Mozart wrote at this time was a new serenade – a completely different work from the serenade presented four years earlier – with an introductory march and two minuets. According to historical evidence, it is quite possible that Mozart did not actually meet his father's deadline to have the music completed by Sigmund Haffner's ennoblement. Mozart later reworked this music into what we now know as the Haffner Symphony.
