Nour Mobarak // Dafne Phono LP
- Availability:
レバノン/アメリカの音響詩人Nour Mobarakが、2024年10月にアメリカの実験/音響詩レーベルRecitalからリリースしたレコードです。
1598年発表のオペラ作品『Dafne』を再構築した2曲を収録。巨大ポスター付属。
以下、レーベルによる解説です。
"Nour Mobarakの『Dafne Phono』は、1598年にヤコポ・ペリとオッタヴィオ・リヌッチーニによって作曲・書かれた最初のオペラ『ダフネ』の翻案である。オヴィッドの『メタモルフォーゼ』に登場するダフネとアポロの神話を題材に、片思い、家父長的所有、征服、変容の物語を、Mobarakのマルチメディアかつ多種多様な手法で再構築した。英語版やギリシャ語版と並行して、世界で最も音韻の複雑な言語であるアブハズ語、サン・ファン・キアヒヘ語、東チャティノ語、シルボ・ゴメロ語、そして 「Xoon 」に翻訳されている。この過程で、西欧文化の産物である語りは解体され、代謝され、感覚を形成する能力と同様に感覚を形成する乱暴な言葉に変換される。これらの声は、菌糸のような音の彫刻によって物質的な形を与えられ、その根茎のような構成と放送された録音は、時間の経過による言語の形成と変異に似ている。
レコードのA面には、モバラクの15チャンネルのサウンド・インスタレーション『Dafne Phono』のステレオバージョンが収録されている。B面は、ナミビアで行われたリブレットの翻訳作業の一部を、アーティストがライブ処理した録音を使用している。"

Recital:
"Nour Mobarak’s Dafne Phono is an adaptation of the first opera, Dafne, composed and written by Jacopo Peri and Ottavio Rinuccini in 1598. Drawing on the myth of Daphne and Apollo from Ovid’s Metamorphoses—a story of unrequited love, patriarchal possession, conquest, and transformation—Mobarak’s multimedia and multispecies reimagining splinters the opera’s Italian libretto. Alongside English and Greek versions, it is translated into some of the world’s most phonetically complex languages—Abkhaz, San Juan Quiahije Eastern Chatino, Silbo Gomero, and !Xoon. In this process, the narrative—and an artifact of Western culture—is dismantled, metabolized, and rendered into unruly utterances that shape the sensorium as much as they do the capacity for sense-making. These voices are given material form by a cast of mycelium sonic sculptures whose rhizomatic compositions and broadcasted recordings resemble the formation and mutation of language over time, reconstituting speech into a new, polyphonic body politic, composed of voices whose striking, poetic utterances transfix and transcend meaning.
The A-Side of the record presents a stereo version of Mobarak’s 15-channel sound installation, Dafne Phono. The B-Side uses a recording of a portion of the translation process the libretto underwent in Namibia, live-processed by the artist. Dafne Phono is released in tandem with a book of the same name, published by Wendy’s Subway [https://www.wendyssubway.com/]. "
