大谷舞

Mai Ohtani is a Japanese violinist born in the year 2000. She has spent her entire life chasing after as many interesting and different aspects of the violin as she could find. When she first heard Celtic music, she was attracted to the unique sound of the violin; from there she began studying its techniques and usage in many different genres. Because of her versatility on the instrument, she describes herself as a "violinist fiddling about." She loves improvising, practicing it every day, and often uses phrases from her improv in her original compositions. In January of 2024, she released "Atarayo," her first single as a soloist. At the center of her solo project is the theme of "Mokugeki," which means "to witness." It comes from the idea that she wants the audience to use every tool they have at their disposal, be it their eyes, ears, or even their whole body, to 'witness' the music that she is putting out into the world. 2000年1月生まれ。自身の生涯の中で、バイオリンの魅力に一つでも多く出会い、楽しむことを追い求めている。ケルト音楽をきっかけにバイオリンの持つ民族音楽的なサウンドに強く惹かれ、多ジャンルの演奏にその特徴的な音の運びを取り入れており、自身を「フィドル弾くバイオリニスト」と表現している。 2024年1月、YouTubeにてオリジナル曲『可惜夜-Atarayo』を公開し、ソリストとしての作品の発信を開始。ソロプロジェクトのテーマ「モクゲキ」は「目に限らない各々の自由なツールで音楽を『目撃』してほしい」という想いに由来する。
