Shamaniteは『黒い石』という意味の魔除のパワーストーン。

シャーマナイト、、シャーマンというスピリチュアルな存在に惹かれて書いた曲。
1960年代のスピリチュアルジャズとフラメンコやタンゴのロマンチックで劇的な雰囲気を重ね合わせたようなイメージで作りました。

レコーディングはメンバー4人による一発録り。

一体感と臨場感のあるエネルギッシュな録音を収録。

ミックスはMONKYと音響エンジニアの巨匠・田中三一が共同で作り上げ、マスタリングも田中三一が担当。
バンドが目の前で演奏しているかのような、立体感のある音像。

アートワークを担当しているのは、パリで開催されたアートフェス2023でも大好評を博した話題のイラストレーター、苦虫ツヨシ。

【Music Description】

Shamanite is a power stone to ward off evil, meaning ‘black stone’.

I wrote this song because I was attracted to Shamanite and the spiritual being called Shaman.
I created this song with the image of spiritual jazz of the 1960s superimposed on the romantic and dramatic atmosphere of flamenco and tango.

The recording was done by the four members in one shot.

The energetic recording with a sense of unity and realism.

The mix was created jointly by MONKY and master sound engineer Mitsukazu Tanaka, who also handled the mastering.
The sound image has a three-dimensional quality, as if the band is playing right in front of you.

The artwork is by Tsuyoshi Nigamushi, a much talked-about illustrator who received great acclaim at the Art Fest 2023 in Paris.
