Conte Sans (1998-2014)



YOFonts Conte Sans

Conte Sans was designed as a more generic version of my Practica. Around 1998, while maintaining Practica, I thought that I could make my new font in a humanist sanserif category with a bit narrow proportion by modifying Practica into a little more rational look. Practica has narrow proportion, this would be a good basis for this new typeface. I began with the heavy weight, then with the light weight. The heavy weight was almost completed then, but the light weight had not been done yet. Later in 2002, to use this new typeface for my music project, I completed the heavy weight with the alternate characters. But still the light weight, the trial italics and the other interporated three weights were left imcomplete and abondoned. In 2014, I finally finished this Conte Sans family entirely.

Conte Sans was designed by Yamaoka Yasuhiro 1998-2014.

何だか新食感のアメ玉みたい。しかも無味の!食感のみの楽しみのための変なアメ玉。最初は硬いので奥歯でカラカラ弄んでると、そのうちに唾液がジワジワ〜っと滲んで来てシット〜リヤンワ〜リになったかと思うと、いきなり表面がホロホロっと剥がれ落ちザラザラした層が現れて、何じゃこりゃぁ?とか訝しがりながらも舌の上でコロコロコロリン♪と転がしてるうちに、さらに奥の層が剥離したかと思ったら、今度は歯にネチャネチャくっ付きそれが溶けきるか溶けきらないうちに、小さくて硬いツブツブが口いっぱいに広がって…‥・

like toffee with a new texture that's tasteless! the weird toffee is just for textural fun in the mouth. while playing its hard surface with back teeth, saliva begins oozing out slowly, making it wet and soft, suddenly the surface peels off little by little, its rough interior appears, still rolling on the tongue, wondering what kind of layer is revealed, soon the deeper layer is separated, the gluey something begins sticking to the teeth, just before it melts away, tiny hard grains spread fully around the mouth... . .

at the beginning of this project, the title was u.f.o. (unidentified frequency oscillator). while processing the sound files for this project, suddenly, an image came to my head: a switch on my forehead. it became very obsessive to me. i decided to change the title from u.f.o. to the switch.

i was recalling when i was child, it was great fun to play with the switches on the panel of audio devices. such as; tape recorders, amplifiers, radios, etc. these new electric toys gave me much influence in my improvisation. and yes, it was greater fun than practising the piano.

and i understand why the switch on my forehead. i am still doing the similar things with the new audio device: personal computer. i am just playing with the switches on the screen, like in my childhood.

i may be obsessed by the switch on the panel of u.f.o.

Yamaoka Yasuhiro - Four Variations in Stretch (2013)



Yamaoka Yasuhiro Four Variations in Stretch

01. Choir and the Phantom Strings
02. The Pianist Is Sleeping
03. Rocking Rolls
04. A Long Walk



Granular synthesis technology produces a quality of sound stretching without tonal pitch changes. When sound is over stretched, it causes a metallic feeling with a kind of quirky trembling from the granulated synthesis texture. Even though the result is not so smooth, the effect is like a microscopic view, zooming into the details of the sound. With this technique, the sound can be controlled for the wished duration and pitch, and short sound can be transformed into another kind of longer aural experience.

Four Variations in Stretch was created with this stretch technique and pitch changes from May to December 2013 by Yamaoka Yasuhiro.

Choir and the Phantom Strings: male chorus, The Pianist Is Sleeping: piano, Rocking Rolls: electric guitars, basses and drums, A Long Walk: a city noise.
