イタリアの実験音楽家Aldo Clementi(1925-2011)が、2023年10月にイタリアの実験レーベルAlga Marghenからリリースしたレコードです。

1960年代に制作したレアな未発表音源4曲を収録。

以下、レーベルによる解説です。

"Alga Marghenが、Marino Zuccheriの技術協力のもと、ミラノのRAI音楽スタジオで実現した磁気テープのための未発表作品「Collage2」と「Collage3」（Dies irae）を発表。これらの作品は、Aldo Clementi が1960年代に電子音楽に強い関心を持ち、現在も継続していることを示す貴重な証言である。エレクトロニック・コンポジション「Collage2」は1960年の作品。Clementiにとって初めての電子音楽の実験であり、彼の独創的で一貫した構造主義への固執は、その頃に書かれたいくつかの器楽作品に反映されている。Collage3の最初のアイデアは1966年に遡り、ビートルズの曲 "Michelle "に短い電子コラージュを施したものだった。作曲家は、"シンメトリーと固定されたブロックの世界から湧き出る、生々しく有機的な音色の自然な井戸 "を使うことで、一般的になった古い概念や決まり文句を置き換えたいと考えた。この独創的なアイデアは、RAI（イタリアのラジオ局）がClementiに長大な作品の作曲を依頼したとき、劇的な変化を遂げた。ゼロから始めたいという彼の最初の願望に、より長い時間の問題が加わった。Clementiがこの曲に "Dies irae "という最終的なタイトルをつけたのは、この曲をほぼ完成させたときだった。"

Alga Marghen:

"Alga marghen proudly perents the previously unreleased “Collage 2” and “Collage 3 (Dies irae)” for magnetic tape, both realised at the Studio di Fonologia Muisicale RAI in Milan with the technical collaboration of Marino Zuccheri. These pieces are precious testimonials to Aldo Clementi’s intense and ongoing interest in electronic music in the 1960s.

The electronic composition “Collage 2” dates from 1960. It was the first experiment with electronic music for Clementi whose original and consistence adherence to structuralism is reflected in several of his instrumental works written around that time. About this piece the composer has commented: «The title and the technique, both of the same name, are the result of my having conceived the work in terms of compositional planes created independently and later superimposed; this gives rise to absorption or emergence, intersection or isolation, all absolutely and deliberately unpredictable. The difficulties implicit in the acoustics, and consequently in the effect, of this kind of treatment, are taken for granted and accepted from the start».

The first idea of “Collage 3” dates back to 1966, in the form of a short electronic collage on the Beatles’ song “Michelle”. The composer wanted to replace old concepts and clichés which had become popular and common, through the use of «natural wells of timbre, live and organic, springing from a world of symmetry and fixed blocks». This original idea underwent a drastic transformation when the RAI (the Italian radio) commissioned Clementi to write a longer work. To his initial desire to start from scratch was added the problem of a longer duration. It was only when Clementi had almost completed the piece that he gave it its final title of “Dies irae”, owing to the extreme tension that accompanied its composition.

This LP is completed by “Fantasia su roBErto FABbriCiAni” (1982) in a brand new realization live recorded on October 13th, 2022 with Alvise Vidolin as sound engineer. Following a practice adopted most famously by Bach, Brahms and Shostakovich, the “Fantasia su roBErto FABbriCiAni” for flute and tape is based on the notes corresponding to the letters in Fabbriciani’s name according to the German musical nomenclature (B flat, E, F, A, B flat, C, A).

This is how Clementi describes his approaches to the electronic processing of the pre recorded tape: «My stylistic purpose was to create a delirious labyrinth around the solo instrument like an enormous growth of vegetation that chokes out a little plant».

«Today it is incumbent on music to ponder anew upon itself, just as music has an urgent need for self-reflection». This is how Adorno expressed himself, at a time long gone but focusing on a need that is perhaps still close to us. It is precisely in this need for “self-reflection”, in this continuous and inexhaustible “questioning” that perhaps one of the most profound teachings of Aldo Clementi compositional mastery resides; a musical legacy of rare coherence and fascination that constitutes an inescapable point of reference for the ethical ideal and the palpable existential tension it testifies to us. In its highest expressions, music allows one to subtly perceive its inherent gnoseological vocation. The work of Aldo Clementi embody one of the most striking and exemplary demonstrations of this."
