ロシアFull of Nothing主宰者がスペインに拠点を移し新たに始動したSchool of the Arts より、デンマーク・コペンハーゲンのトロンボーン奏者とヴァイオリニストによるノイズドローンカセットがリリース。なかには一聴すると全くトロンボーンとヴァイオリンが聞こえない曲もありますが、何度か聴いていると徐々にわかってくる感覚が面白いです。

-----------------------

Trombonist and violinist of Copenhagen’s Selvhenter make noise in Russia’s Far North.

Maria Bertel and Maria Diekmann are founding members of the acclaimed Selvhenter band and Eget Værelse, a collective that unites various projects of its members ranging from free noise to electronic pop music.

In the middle of winter of 2017, two Marias visited Murmansk, Russia, a fjord city 2° north of the Arctic Circle, to play a rather short but very inspired set of solo and duo improvisations, and this is the document of that evening.

Bertel’s trombone improvisations are real heart-stoppers. They stem from her work under Ymers Pizza moniker; however, they sound more concentrated here: short, concise investigations of clear ideas. But mind, she does not spare any distortion or sub-bass pressure here, and yes, there is a noise piece.

Diekmann’s solo violin bits are “amplified minimalism,” and instantly bring to mind associations with the NYC loft scene and Tony Conrad. One of the improvisation ventures into a somewhat bluesy territory, bringing to mind Loren Connors at his most distorted.

The solo sets are punctuated by beautiful duo interplay that is just wonderful and even sounds composed. If you like your music simple, horizontal, and aggressively lo-fi, look no further.

It’s important to note that there are no field recordings, but some of the compositions have been recorded live and later reassembled in the studio.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe title track is a 35-minute-long composition for laptop, live electronics, and an improvising violinist. It was recorded with Russian-Finnish multi-instrumentalist Sasha Kretova in Petergof, with Zoloto performing in his favorite mode: as a dub engineer, with a laptop, a mixing desk, and some Soviet and handmade effects. It fuses his two main passions together: the raw and improvised side of drone music (think Vibracathedral Orchestra) and heavily processed\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e electronics moving at a glacial pace with distant bass explosions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracks “Problem no. 1” and “The Door Is Open” document Zoloto exploring another side of his heritage: here he’s playing jouhikko, a Karelian-Finnish bowed lyre, in a very aggressive and rude manner. He then treats it via half-broken tape recorders, conjuring some funeral noise-folk dirges.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe “Voice Message”\/”Elevator Scene” suite starts off with LSS (also known as L.I.E.S.-affiliated artist 51717) whispering “pleasure prison” in a Facebook voice message and follows that with almost-techno-sounding hi-hats, ice-cold chords, and crude electronic loops performed live in Shanghai through assorted guitar amps. The result has been described by one listener as “Tim Hecker meets Hijokaidan”.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Ivan Zoloto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : School of the Arts\u003c\/p\u003e"}
