その人を形づくるものTHE CORE
ECHOは、自分の過去をほとんど語らない年長のサックス奏者。
FORGE、BULWARKの上官として、かつて軍にいた経緯がある。現職は不明。
BLADE、HAMMERとは長年のつながりで、HAMMERからMARSHIVERNへの加勢を依頼される。
彼のテナーサックスは、言葉にしないもののために鳴る。音は派手に勝ち誇らず、曲が終わった後の空気に残る。
ECHO is an older saxophone player who says almost nothing about his past.
He was once in the military, serving as FORGE and BULWARK's superior officer. His current occupation is unknown.
He has long-standing ties with BLADE and HAMMER, and HAMMER asks him to join MARSHIVERN.
His tenor saxophone sounds for what goes unspoken. It never crows in victory; it remains in the air after a song ends.
MARSHIVERNとの接点WITH MARSHIVERN
ECHOは通常の五人編成には加わらない。だが、曲がロックだけでは届かない哀愁や時間の重さを必要とする時、ブラス系の三人を率いるように現れる。MARSHIVERNとの関わりの中で、彼は言葉による贖罪ではなく、遠回りをする者を黙って待つ行動を見せる。
ECHO does not join the ordinary five-piece. But when a song needs a wistfulness or a weight of time that rock alone cannot reach, he appears as though leading the three brass players. In his dealings with MARSHIVERN he shows not atonement in words, but the act of waiting silently for those who take the long way round.
演奏と舞台での役割ON STAGE
- 曲の終端に、RAVENの熱とは異なる余韻を置く。Places at a song's end a resonance different from RAVEN's heat.
- BLADEのギターと、言葉のない年長者同士のソロ交換をつくる。Builds a wordless solo exchange between elders with BLADE's guitar.
- 初期の主担当はテナーサックス。持ち替えは、曲の必要性が生まれた時だけ検討する。His primary instrument at the outset is tenor saxophone. Switching is considered only when a song calls for it.
仲間との関係CONNECTIONS
- BLADE
- 美学を認め合う対抗者。互いの沈黙を演奏として扱える。A rival whose aesthetic he acknowledges. Each can treat the other's silence as playing.
- RAVEN
- 先へ行こうとする熱を、終わりの側から見守る。He watches the heat that wants to go on ahead, from the side of the ending.
- FORGE／BULWARK
- 過去を共有し、三人の重心を支える仲間。Companions who share the past and hold the trio's center of gravity.
OFF STAGE
舞台を降りたその人 Beyond the Stage
- 好きなものLIKES
- 頭を剃り上げる時間（一日で一番静かな、儀式のようなひととき）The quiet, almost ritual time he spends shaving his head — the calmest part of his day.
- 嫌いなものDISLIKES
- 強い蛍光灯の光（人前でサングラスを外せない場所が苦手）Harsh fluorescent light — he hates places where he can't keep his sunglasses on.
