Mattias Gustafsson // Frusen Musik CD

当店でも人気のスウェーデンの音響作家Mattias Gustafssonが米国サウンドアートレーベルCareful Catalogより2019年にリリースした特殊ジャケCD。心地よささえ感じる安定の物音スケープを存分に堪能できます。活版印刷のジャケットにインサートが3枚入っています。マスタリングはSean McCannが担当。

In the expanses of the venerable compact disc format, our Swedish tape and electronics statesman piles in the lumber for a full scale fabrication of distorted scenes from daily life, fractured and warped to reflect the wandering imagination. Frusen Musik employs a rougher dialect similar to his Altar of Flies moniker, although it’s often used on the scenic grounds of works from his recently lauded Frånvarande and Nattmusik LPs. Eight stunningly impactful works of cavelike architecture for an inspired rattling of the cage, a curious peeling of the wallpaper. Drips, wobbles, creaks, and cracks are turned to gold while nearby liquid encroaches a vulnerable circuit, disembodied voices spiriting in through the vents. Pry this one open and find flashes of entropy, unplaceable dread, meditative stares, and an acceptable dosage of melancholy. Admirers of Small Cruel Party, Crawl Unit, or the Tapeworks series on Gustafsson’s own Hästen & Korset are likely to sense a familiar air.
