Their materials and working methods differ significantly, with Ielasi having focussed for many years on electro-acoustic techniques alongside his ongoing commitment to the guitar, and Sheen primarily composing for traditional instruments. More important, though, is what they share: a fascination with what Sheen calls “mysterious, liminal musical material,” using irregular repetition and cyclical forms to create structures at once alive with activity and almost static, as well as a rigorous exploration of spatial diffusion and the interaction of sound event and environment.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorking individually with a library of acoustic instrument sounds from Sheen’s recent projects and Ielasi’s guitar, the pair eventually met for several days at Ielasi’s home studio in Monza, sculpting the fourteen pieces that make up The Vestige. Like Ielasi and\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e Sheen’s solo works, the record shows an exquisite attention to details of sequencing and pacing, the sound palette and compositional approach consistent throughout while each piece asserts its own identity. The twenty-five seconds of the opening piece serve as an entrée into the record’s distinctive world of sound: repeated chirps fluctuate in volume as they move across the stereo spectrum, woven between strangled snatches of string glissando against a backdrop of percussive ticks, long tones, and white noise. Across the remaining thirteen pieces, Ielasi and Sheen sketch further dimensions of the ambiguous space, where distinctions between pitch and noise, repetition and irregularity, electronic and acoustic remain pointedly unclear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the record’s title suggests, the origins of the sounds we hear have become remote: while at moments we get flashes of timbres and attacks that could come from wind instruments, bowed strings, or prepared guitar, these remain vestigial traces, glimpsed through a veil of shifting white noise textures. These textures are themselves difficult to trace, suggesting artefacts of the recording process, electronic synthesis, amplified room sound, rubbed instruments or objects. The Vestige shows an unusual degree of attention to frequency range as a compositional tool, something it shares with the hyper-subtle variations of Ielasi’s electroacoustic works and the deliberately ‘unbalanced’ midrange-heavy ensemble of Sheen’s Sub. Here, movement between episodes is as much about adding or removing a frequency band as it is about changes in density, harmonic content, or instrumental texture. Tracks are marked by the sudden appearance of subbass or exaggeration of high frequencies in otherwise similar material, contributing to our sense that these fourteen pieces are like different views on a scene that we can never quite see clearly. While calling up a range of past music, from the early works of Rolf Julius to Simha Arom’s recordings of layered polyrhythms embedded in the background sounds of central African villages to the temporal distortions and layered hiss of DJ Screw, the alluring and disconcerting world of The Vestige is entirely its own.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Giuseppe Ielasi \/ Jack Sheen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Black Truffle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecat no : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack Truffle 132\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-08-12T06:20:26+09:00","created_at":"2025-08-11T12:07:34+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","black truffle","drone","lp","monooto","new","recommended"],"price":476000,"price_min":476000,"price_max":476000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47603007783162,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Giuseppe Ielasi \/ Jack Sheen \/\/ The Vestige LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":476000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"4250101483950","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jack1_e7c4e2ee-ce4c-4f9f-8398-852a209a3995.jpg?v=1754881529","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jack2.jpg?v=1754881529"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jack1_e7c4e2ee-ce4c-4f9f-8398-852a209a3995.jpg?v=1754881529","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":36521622896890,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jack1_e7c4e2ee-ce4c-4f9f-8398-852a209a3995.jpg?v=1754881529"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jack1_e7c4e2ee-ce4c-4f9f-8398-852a209a3995.jpg?v=1754881529","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":36521622929658,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jack2.jpg?v=1754881529"},"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/jack2.jpg?v=1754881529","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eイタリアの実験音楽家／ギタリストGiuseppe Ielasiとイギリスの作曲家／指揮者Jack Sheenが、2025年8月にオーストラリアの実験レーベルBlack Truffleからリリースした共作レコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e実験アンビエント〜物音コラージュ〜ドローン4曲を収録。DLコード付属。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1657334828\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/black-truffle\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/black-truffle\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Black Truffle releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL code. \u003cbr\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
