オリジナルは1988年にNurse With WoundのUnited Dairiesからリリースされた、MetgumbnerboneのメンバーでもあるSean Breadin、Mike WatsonとRichard Rupenus (The New Blockaders)の3人によるMasstishaddhuの唯一の作品が未発表音源を追加しCDリイシュー。デジパック、シュリンク仕様です。

チェロ、ハーディガーディ、フルート、様々なパーカッションによる演奏が時折、強烈な違和感や、暗がりに蛇がいて恐れていたら近づいてみると実際は単なるロープだったような不可思議な感覚を伴いつつ、全編に渡って非常に精密な構成によって形づくられ、言語化される以前の思考を音に表したようなチャントが、より秘教的な雰囲気を演出しています。-advaita records

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

'Shekinah’ comprises two side-long slabs of highly experimental music in the early Coil / Current 93 / Organum vein with touches of Eastern (or is it North American?) mysticism thrown in for good measure. ‘For The Dead & Unborn’ is a wild, chilling and uninhibited chant-cum-invocation featuring wordless vocals set against a hypnotic backdrop of percussion and bowed instruments. ‘Angels Gather Here Between Purity Of Heart and Hopeless Despair’ is taken at a much slower pace with far less accent on the chanting and more emphasis on the bowed strings and singing / ringing percussion and at times had me glancing nervously over my shoulder! Audion

'Shekinah’ could be described as very dark Gothic Ritual Folk with a sprinkling of occult allure. The title, cover and music all suggest bloodied altars, unfathomable rituals and mystical learning. The low and buzzing drone underscores a lava flow of chants, cellos and percussion. Whatever words are spoken during this procession of yearning melodies and utterly ethereal voices is perhaps best left for the Gods. Whatever secrets the music holds, they are simultaneously a fountain of spiritual beauty and unknowable terror. It's as if its character changed with my dispositions: if I was feeling fear then fear is what I heard. If I was feeling joyous, then the joy of the Gods shone down upon me and relaxed every fibre of my being. Brainwashed

In the ‘80s underground, Ritual Ambient and Tribal Ambient were both coming to fruition and although they had a rough framework there wasn't yet a concrete basis for how the genres were set to develop. Masstishaddhu exploited this potential to create a music that sounds like a well-executed modern Free Folk album - in 1988, a good decade before the New Weird America scene (spearheaded by the likes of Sun City Girls) began revolutionizing the idea of Folk music operating under rhythmic constraints. In this sense ‘Shekinah’ is undoubtedly unique, perpetuating the 'ritual' side of ambient through disconcerting vocalizations and chants. It is deeply embedded within the Folk influence that uses atmosphere to sculpt instrumental improvisations, again, much like well-executed modern Free Folk does. A Tertiary Source

日本の実験音楽家Aki Ondaが、2024年11月にアメリカ・LAの実験レーベルDinzu Artefactsからリリースしたカセットです。物音コラージュスケープ2曲を収録。DLコード付属。以下、作家本人による解説です。 "私は1998年から2003年にかけて、キャナル・ストリートから14番街まで、そしてバワリー（3番街）からイーストリバーまで続くニューヨークのロウアーイーストサイド（LES）周辺で、これらの音の断片を録音した。カセットテープの練習を始めた頃、私はレコーダーを持って歩き回り、まるで写真を撮るかのように、時には1秒にも満たないような短い音の断片を録音したり、深く聴き入ったりする習慣があった。これらの録音は、磁気テープに濃密なコラージュを刻み、私は約20年前にそれらをキャプチャしたのと同じ編集スタイルで、ここに音を提示する。当時、LESは憧れの場所だった。この界隈には多くのアーティスト、映画制作者、ミュージシャンが住み、本物のボヘミアン・コミュニティの雰囲気があった。地域の大部分はランドマーク委員会によって保護され、家賃安定ビルも多かった。ジェントリフィケーション（高級化）により、LESに長年住んでいた人たちの一部はウィリアムズバーグやブルックリンの他の地域に移り住んだが、それ以外の人たちは家賃が安定した住戸に住み続け、何十年もそこに住み続けている。19世紀以来、この地域にはイタリア人、ユダヤ人、プエルトリコ人などの移民コミュニティが次々と居住してきた。イースト・リバー沿いのアルファベット・シティ（LESのうち、大通りに番号ではなく文字が振られている部分）には、昔も今もラテン系コミュニティが多い。これらすべての特徴が混在することで、街の他のどの地域とも異なる多文化的で控えめな雰囲気が生まれた。私は、2番街とセカンド・アベニューの角にあるアンソロジー・フィルム・アーカイブス（AFA）で数え切れないほどの時間を過ごした。1998年、私はAFAの共同設立者の一人であるジョナス・メカスと知り合いになった。90年代に東京で彼の『Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania』（1972年）を初めて観た私は、メカスの作品に強い影響を受けたので、彼を訪ねたのは自然な成り行きだった。当時のAFAは、もっとカオスでアンダーグラウンドな場所だった。私たちは、ジョナスが写真スタジオを持っていた地下室にたむろしていた。他の部屋にはリトアニア人の友人が数人いた。ジョナスは私にフィルムカルチャー誌をくれた。私たちは近くのイタリアンレストランで昼食をとり、ジョナスのオフィスの延長のような、1番街と2番街の角にあるゴミゴミしたマーズバーに立ち寄った。AFAの上映会に無料でアクセスし、私は前衛映画のエッセンスを吸収した。私のお気に入りは William...

When she touches the bow to her tromba marina (an instrument with origins in medieval Europe), Laprida uses its two strings to clear a path through a thicket of indefinite musical possibilities. Before moving to Washington, DC, the Argentinian improvisor and sound artist was a central figure in the tight-knit avant-garde scene of Buenos Aires, where she became enamored with the possibilities of nontraditional instruments and everyday soundmakers. With a simple set of tools, she creates spontaneous music that at first seems austere, but with examination reveals intricately aligned fields of inquiry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSince relocating to the U.S., Laprida has developed a distinctive, methodical style of improvisation on the tromba marina that uses amplification and subtle electronic processing to expand the textural possibilities of the instrument. Pitch Dark and Trembling extends that practice. Recorded live at Bard College in June of 2023, the album documents a pivotal moment in an ongoing exploration of low frequencies and vibrational phenomena. By modulating her instrument’s signal with a cranked 18-inch subwoofer and an array of effects pedals, the typically light sound of the tromba marina becomes massive and unwieldy, laden with roars of\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e feedback and ghostly wisps of rumbling bass. Shaken to its core, the room itself becomes audible, as the walls vibrate sympathetically with each expulsion of sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter feeling the way in which the speaker’s low frequencies interacted with objects in their direct vicinity, Laprida was reminded of a traumatic experience of a late night earthquake in Bolivia a decade and a half prior. She recalled the fear and confusion of being woken up, the oncoming roll of sound that preceded the shaking of her room, and the clattering of her belongings while she remained in bed, frozen in place. She leaned into that association, collecting exciters from deconstructed speakers and placing them inside boxes and trash cans where they would audibly shake as she played through the subwoofer. We hear the quiver of these exciters on “Trembling,” its title highlighting not only the sounds’ effects on the objects, but also the feeling they elicit. Following the live performance documented on Pitch Dark and Trembling, several listeners approached Laprida to express the strange mixture of unease and enthrallment they felt as they became enveloped by the vibrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFear and attentiveness come hand in hand, often accompanied by a strange sense of wonderment. As Laprida processes the sounds of an instrument she holds close to her chest through the unpredictable swells of the subwoofer, she works through the terror of the world’s volatility. There are no easy answers here, and only ambiguous resolutions. Pitch Dark and Trembling requires a recalibration of the listener’s ear, and at times a dash of imagination. Laprida points to the cacophony of oncoming trains and the boom of faraway thunder as everyday reference points for the work on this release. Billowing, groaning, and at times even whispering, the album probes at the margins of disquiet, always curious and never certain.
