何度も来日公演を果たしているベルギーの鬼才Spencer ClarkのStar Searchers名義での2020年11月リリース作品。SF映画AVATERの架空の続編サウンドトラックと題した本作は、摩訶不思議なニューエイジエキゾチカに仕上がっています。全29曲を収録。DLコード付属。

"Spencer Clark is back with a futuristic eco-friendly record. It’s life on earth as you never heard it.

The story goes like this: Spencer wanted to do a soundtrack for the yet to be made “Avatar 2”. And if you know Spencer’s work, you’ll know that he engaged on this mission reading material that influenced the rich and crazy imaginary world of “Avatar”. If you think about
it a little bit, something like “Avatar” could have really come out from the mind of Spencer Clark.

But it didn’t. So, he dwelled around the idea of that soundtrack, working on what is now known as “Avatar Blue”. The record we now release is a selection he made from the 2CD released last year on his own Pacific City Sound Visions.

Like many of Spencer’s other alias or incarnations, Star Searchers introduces the listener to a new world. Besides making sounds/soundtracks for alternative realities he cares
about making a world for his music to live in. It’s never superficial or dedicated just to the act of imagination, Spencer creates sounds that sustain the reality he imagined. That’s why they’re so rich and consequential in the realization of music as a medium.

“Avatar Blue” is music but also literature. And cinema. Star Searchers’ sound creates an absorbent sound about what’s happening in aquatic life. It goes beyond the perception of what we’ve seen or what we’ve known, it’s a neo-future aquatic life, with a world building structure and sounds and narratives that go along with it.

All done with a sound-aesthetics that could be described as slowed-down-trance, that fits 1980s synth nostalgia and dreams of sci-fi to come."

This is how the artist Joey Veltkamp described the first music that Emily Pothast and David Golightly released under the name Midday Veil in 2009. At the time, the duo was recording at home, primarily using vintage analog synthesizers and richly textured, often wordless vocals to weave shimmering, slow-building sonic tapestries.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhile Midday Veil morphed into a rock band, Pothast and Golightly continued to work as a duo, performing long-form improvised soundscapes and creating immersive audiovisual installations under the name Hair and Space Museum. During its first decade, HaSM organized sleepover concerts, performed in a planetarium with a live laser artist, and shared stages with Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Norm Chambers, and Laraaji. Their recorded output, however, has thus far remained elusive.\u2028\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe two side-long tracks on Human Presence were recorded in Seattle in 2012, the year we were promised the world would end, but it didn’t.

The music conjures a sense of rapturous awe tinged with melancholy, both for the otherworldly aspirations embodied in this lonely little object and the equally profound misguidedness of the military-industrial culture that launched it — the irony of yearning for extraterrestrial contact while subjecting the miraculous richness of life on Earth to extractive violence in the same gesture. This recording subsequently provided the soundtrack for the Hair and Space Museum installation “Infinity Music Machine,” where audiences could listen on headphones while zoning out inside a light-tight black pyramid as an earthbound alternative to interstellar travel. \u2028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA drifting galaxy of twinkling arpeggiators and diaphanous drone, “Passage” is the audio component of a multimedia installation created by HaSM for Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival in 2012. This installation also featured a ceiling-mounted projector that generated analog video feedback in real time so that visitors entering the exhibition hall would transform the flowing, organic patterns on the floor by walking through them, creating a constantly shifting visual echo of their presence.
