about

J • A • Seazer "Nuhikun – Directions to Servants" 2x12" GLP

Recorded in late 1977 and originally available only as cassettes, in the theaters during Tenjo Sajiki's performances, the soundtrack to "Nuhikun – Directions to Servants" is now available for streaming and as high quality 2x12" gatefold vinyl through Devoted Art Propaganda.

"Nuhikun – Directions to Servants exposes the audience to a sadomasochistic universe combining elements of surrealism, dream work and Brechtian Verfremdungseffekt. Accompanied by fantastic machines, rock music and operatic echoes, the production has amazed audiences with the avant-garde director’s world of wonder and visual bravado. That master-slave farce is defined not merely by the theatrical dialogue, but also by the actors’ moves to the rock-opera vibes. One observes various kinds of machinery props with the empty chair in the middle, symbolising the absence of the real master until the very end. As in many of Terayama’s plays, the absence of the main pillar stimulates the absence of the periphery.

J • A • Seazer is a critically renowned film and theatre music composer, as well as co-director of Terayama Shūji plays and a leader of the theatre troupe Laboratory of Theatre Play Ban'yū Inryoku. He combines experimental rock with avant-garde theatre. His major music compositions include Heretics (1971), Ship of Fools (1976), Shintokumaru (1978). He also composed music for Tearayama’s feature films such as Boxer (1977), Death in the Country (1974) and Farewell to the Ark (1984). It’s his rock opera score to the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena though that gave J • A • Seazer major recognition leading to numerous references in scenic adaptations of the movie."
