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

"Like a couple o’ gilded porkers, their snouts rooting in the damp leaves, Ezio and Ben sniff out some spectacular sonic truffles for your groaning table.

Prepare for the sound of sound itself; selected with a master’s experience, creaking like ancient mosaic tiles.

Stray voices glitter through the hard blue sky, a piano diddles in the staccato forever, tape-crackle dusts the flexible speech streams with meaning. A heart-breaking shanty (language incomprehensible to my cloth ears) leads a jailhouse harmonica into static electric champagne.

Yet this is somehow also a rich and loamy offering. The essence of Piermattei & Presto’s sound is well-rotted, mulched; an entanglement of textures in varying states of deliberate decay. The occasional fresh nugget (the atmospheric organ drone, the motorbike cough of a clearing throat) that slices through only adding to the essential fatty marbling that further sizzles your ears.

Like the careful un-folding of Luc Ferrari’s brittle ghost. In terrible times this is a timely reminder of what it means to be truly alive.

- Joe Murray (Posset, Papal Bull)

Ezio Piermattei: tapes, objects, voice, instruments, assemblage
Ben Presto: tapes, found videos, old pc, plunderphonics

Voice on Nobody Travels #1 by Chiara Fiori

In the formative years of my cassette practice, I had a habit of walking around with my recorder and capturing very short snippets of sound – at times less than a second, as if taking a photo – as well as some longer segments of deep listening.

I first watched his Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1972) in Tokyo in the '90s, and Mekas’s work became a strong influence on me, so it was a natural consequence to visit him. AFA was a more chaotic, underground place back then. We would hang out in the basement, where Jonas had a photography studio. A few of his Lithuanian friends occupied the other rooms. Jonas gave me copies of Film Culture magazines, which were excellent resources to trace film history. We would have lunch at an Italian restaurant nearby and end up stopping by the trashy Mars Bar on the corner of 1st Street and Second Ave, which was almost like an extension of Jonas's office. With free access to AFA’s screenings, I absorbed the essence of avant-garde cinema. My favorites were: William Klein's Muhammad Ali the Greatest (1969); Ken Jacobs's Blonde Cobra (1963); Michael Snow’s Rameau’s Nephew by Diderot (1974); Harry Smith's Mahagonny (1980) and Heaven and Earth Magic (1962); Bruce Conner’s The White Rose (1965); Milton Moses Ginsberg's Coming Apart (1969); Béla Tarr’s The Outsider (1981), and so on.

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.
