I then travelled to Berlin by car with Rolf Langebertels, the owner of Galerie Giannozzo who had driven to Bremen to hear me perform. I still remember very vividly the experience of passing through the checkpoint to enter West Berlin, a city that floated like an island in the middle of the still socialist GDR. I had previously visited Berlin in 1982 to perform at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien at an event that Rolf had organized. This time too Rolf had organized a concert for me at the Technische Universitat. Playing off the title of the piece (“Study Time”) I had performed at Pro Musica Nova, I titled the piece for this concert “Zeitstudie”.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eI owe Rolf a great deal of gratitude, as it was him who encouraged me by releasing my very first cassette tape, “Zeitstudie von Akio Suzuki”.

The ANALAPOS resembles the tin-can telephone that children used to play with: two metal cans, open at one end and connected by a coil spring. You play it by stretching out the spring horizonally and then projecting your voice into the open end of one of the cylinders. The second piece features a variation, where I would suspend several ANALAPOS vertically and play them like a percussion instrument.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Suzuki-type glass harmonica is in a simpler form than the pre-existing glass harmonica, and consists of five long glass tubes of varying diameters suspended horizontally in a metal frame. As well as rubbing the tubes with wet hands, I developed my own style of playing it using sticks. Once when I was practicing with it in the Netherlands, outside the window I was surprised to hear a bird imitating my sounds. However, later I discovered that the bird always sang that way, and as a token of my regret for having ever doubted it, I borrowed the bird’s Dutch name, De Koolmees, and I s till use it for my instrument. Recently, as I listened back to the cassette of “Zeitstudie von A.S.”, one of Hiromi Miyakita’s drawings was lying in front of me. There was a sympathetic resonance between the sounds and the drawing, so I decided to use it on the cover.

Returning to this record a decade and a half on, it’s funny how powerfully nostalgic and intensely emotional the memories carried in these pieces have become.

It’s a fitting phrase really when you consider he has been at the beating heart of so many critical musical moments. From the development of the blues touring circuit in the UK, through the growth of the folk scene and into the explosion of free improvisation that came to define a generation of UK musicians. Amidst it all, working at stitching these disparate forms into some kind of deterritorialised zone, was Mike Cooper.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt’s fitting then, that he explores the notion of journey on his latest full length edition. Even more fitting that he examines the vessels that carry us on journeys. With Raft, Cooper charts his interests in ambient exotica and collides it with his research into various South Pacific musical traditions. The record extends his palette considerably, stretching away from the hypnogogic flows of his master piece Rayon Hula, into a more oceanic setting. Raft 21 Guayaquil To Tully, for example, sets out a lilting rise and fall of harmony which erupts with spluttering electronics.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpecifically inspired by Vital Alsar and William Wills, sailors who undertook some of the 20th centuries most impressive solo voyages, Raft reflects upon the determination of the solo traveller\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e. In a musical sense, Mike Cooper’s work of recent years has very much reflected a determined solo traveller work ethic. In his commitment to travel alone, he has developed a range of strategies that he works against as a means of surprising himself and uncovering unfamiliar sonic relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis approach has proved an incredibly fertile pursuit for Cooper, arguably producing some of his most affecting and engaging works, his Room40 albums Fratello Mare and White Shadows Of The South Seas amongst them.

Lynch’s Lost Highway comes to mind here, specifically Bill Pullman’s character Fred Madison who says “I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.” Like Madison, I can’t help but sense that memory takes shape through an accumulative process that reflects how each of us have lived (and maybe even wanted to live) up to that point in time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoing back to listen again to these recordings of which I was a part with David and Akio, I was surprised by what elements had stayed with me and what others had slipped into the eternal greying of my mind. I have vivid recollections of listening to a Lyre bird before recording the pieces together at Witches Falls. I remember both Akio and David finding musicality in decaying palm fronds. I remember Akio’s voice, amplified through his Analpos, bouncing off the stones and trees. I remember David’s flute, so quiet in the pitch black of the night forest as to appear like a hushed tone of wind or a distant animal calling.

Conversations about memory, ironically enough, had vanished from my mind until reading his words. I also didn’t really remember my role as tick surgeon, removing a living insect from David’s ear. I do remember his cooking though, as does Akio (captured aptly in his drawings), no doubt a testament to David’s improvisational culinary expertise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreathing Spirit Forms represents a distinctive exchange between friends and collaborators.

I had been unable to write much music since February, when I returned from 3-months in Tokyo where this album was initially conceived. It was possibly the longest creative break I have undergone in the last 5 years. But suddenly, the small melodies I had been singing closely into my microphone late at night, quietly so my neighbours wouldn’t hear, took on a larger scale, and one that seemed to echo the scale engendered by 2020. The confinement to the home, the epic events going on outside. My small, timid voice filtered through a myriad of technologies as I talked to friends, taught online; amplified, distorted, compressed, equalised. Sped up, slowed down as my wifi drops in and out.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf You Do became an album for solo voice and an ensemble of technologies. An album about contorting the body (voice) through time (rhythm, pulse), repetition and form. The work is nostalgic for past futures: wishing for the technological optimism of the late 70’s and early 80’s, of Timothy Leary believing the computer would offer a liberation to the masses. A time before Big Tech, Big Data. It’s a record made alone, dreaming of unmediated\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e interaction with an audience that may never arrive. A sense of longing for the future that could have been, sung by a wordless choir and sometimes a clarinet. A return to my first instrument, and another kind of technology, I guess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack in Tokyo, I noticed how physical and digital spaces were being dislocated. I was wondering how we got here, thinking about where that leaves my music in light of this. I began collecting each of the track names from my surroundings - things read or overheard or gathered both in Japan (the title If You Do came from a necklace found at Ohi Racecourse Flea Market) and, later, at home, online. As such, the album occupies an amorphous space. Within the genre of ambient music but only just. It creates a space that is still heavily mediated, but hopes to locate and communicate directly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen, at my computer, stuck in a glitching, echoing loop, I was looking for signs to keep writing. I listened to Laurie Anderson’s Big Science or David Bowie’s Subterraneans or Underworld’s Born Slippy.Nuxx once more. I thought about re-reading Homesick for Another World; I watched some interviews with Laurie Spiegel on YouTube. After the dream, in the verge outside, clover kept appearing and suddenly it was Spring and there are flowers. And here we are: If You Do.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Megan Alice Clune\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Room40\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobira Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40825884246181,"sku":"","price":1980.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/if1.jpg?v=1631843994"},{"product_id":"lawrence-english-a-mirror-holds-the-sky-cd-book","title":"Lawrence English \/\/ A Mirror Holds The Sky CD + BOOK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eオーストラリア・ブリスベンの音響レーベルroom40主宰Lawrence Englishが2021年9月にリリースしたCD+BOOKです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2008年に彼がFrancisco Lopezが運営しているアマゾンのレジデンシーMamori Artlabに滞在した際に収集した50時間以上にも及ぶフィールドレコーディングをソースとして制作した作品です。密林で展開する聞いたこともない音色に耳が喜ぶ7曲を収録。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e現地で撮影した写真を掲載した48ページのブックレットが付属。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3250899447\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Room40 releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMatt laminate and embossed sleeve, insert card and 48 page perfect bound book featuring photographs by Lawrence English, taken on location in the Amazon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eText by Laurence English:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eIn late months of 2008, I had the great fortune to spend some weeks in the Amazon. The visit, facilitated through Francisco Lopez’s Mamori Artlab residency, remains one of the most deeply affecting experiences I have had. Each time I hear a Screaming Piha, which many would identify instantly thanks to their prevalence in Werner Herzog’s Aguirre Wrath Of God and Fitzcarraldo, I am transported back into a place that, to this day, features regularly in my daydreams.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe reason this place made such an impression is simple; the Amazon dwarfs us. This is not some vulgar display of power on its behalf, rather its a tangible reminder of our place in, and on, this planet. Once you step into the Amazon it prompts us (strongly) to refocus the perspective we hold of ourselves, of our ways of being, of our understandings and it (not so gently) reminds us that we are but one very minor function in an equation that extends in all directions across time, and space.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLiving in Australia, tropical rainforests are not foreign to me.

What makes\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e time spent in the jungles of the Amazon different however is the scale and sheer volume (metaphoric and literal) of the life that inhabits it. Hundreds of thousands of narratives are in play moment to moment, their interactions flow together forming a perpetual cascade of arrival and departure, fertility and decay - these fundamental states are intrinsically linked and constantly informing one another.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe jungle is never silent. Even when you might expect the Amazon to be hushed, in those hours before dawn or in the heat of the midday sun, it is hardly what could be described as quiet. What might be true to say though is during these moments where the chorus of insects takes a step back, the jungle opens just a little. To listen in the jungle is to listen in close relief - in every square metre, thousands of insect cry out, their voices reducing the horizon of listening to a matter of centimetres at certain times of the day (and night). The sensation is sensorially disorienting and frankly, overpowering.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn those moments where you can get a sense of dimension and depth, the dynamism of the environment comes to the for. The abundance of birds, mammals, beetles, flies, ants and so many other creatures are a source of constant and evolving fascination.

It’s humbling to acknowledge how little we come to know of that which lies just below us.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Mirror Holds The Sky is in some ways an act of acoustic and temporal compression. It is a rendering down of the lived in moments and environments that became points of intense listenership. If I am to be honest, it has taken me the better part of a decade to know how to approach this archive of materials. I owe a debt of gratitude to Chico Dub at Festival Novas Frequências, who very gently encouraged me to realise a piece for diffusion as part of his program in 2019. That invitation retuned my ears and in the process unlocked a way of approaching the mammoth 50+ hours of recordings I had gathered during my time there. I also owe a special debt of gratitude to my wife Rebecca, who was instrumental in gathering some of these recordings.

Both these dreams were tethered to the house I lived in. It was a rambling home which was high set but underneath it was largely unfinished. The underside of the house was a labyrinth of small rooms, concrete pits and a collection of building materials, piping and leftover furniture sat alongside beds of dirt that had a consistency of lunar dust.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe first recurring dream was of a burning bird, falling from the sky past the kitchen window in the early hours of the morning.

This dream has never returned to me as an adult, though I can vividly recount it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe second dream has recently emerged, albeit a distant hazy reference to the tangible intensity that I experienced when I was younger. This dream was one buried deep within the labyrinthian, unfinished features that existed under my house. The dream usually started with me playing on the lunar dirt and gradually a sound would emerge from a large concrete pit that was in the centre of the space. The sound would get louder and eventually I would have\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e to go and inspect it. It called me in, there’s no other way to describe it. As I looked into the pit, there was always some kind of hatch, often resembling a pressure door, the type you might see in a Submarine film, and the sound would emanate from underneath that hatch. It was also a throbbing, hammering type of sound, deeply diminished and buried, like hearing bass music from a car parked up the block.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInevitably, I would twist open the hatch and inside it was a mechanical world that today brings to mind the interior psyche of Tetsuo The Iron Man. It was dark, almost entirely duotone, shaded in heavy grey and black, and wet with a thick, humid, oil like moisture. As I climbed into the hatch and down the ladder (there was always a ladder too) the pressure of the sound increased and it was as if my whole body was being consumed by this monolithic subterranean machine. I never got to understand what the machine did, or if in fact it was a machine at all, the system was never revealed, but what I was made to feel was that there was something beyond my usual understanding that forged away night and day and was infinitely more powerful and commanding than I ever could comprehend.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI was surprised that, over the past year, this dream has returned to me. Perhaps it’s a result of the general quietening of the world and that innate way our ears can open up to even the most subtle acoustic shifts when we are sleeping. Remote sounds, usually hidden in the din of the urban nightscape, were filtering into my dreams and triggering some kind of speculative consciousness. This post-hypnogogic state ushered in a return to that imagined place from my childhood dreams, but simultaneously I was never allowed full access to that place, rather it felt more reserved. I could not enter it in the same way, even if the hatch was there, I was not the same mind and could not unlock it in the same way.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLast year, I mentioned this dream to Jamie, and he too reported unsteady sleep patterns. This got us to thinking about how the dynamics of the world have recently shifted towards the emergence of the natural world. Equally though it has shifted in favour of its shadow; those ongoing industrial, mechanical and other acoustic by-products of human (and unhuman) labour reach out from the hushed ambient noise floor. What is usually soaked up in the everyday (sub)urbanscape has been exhumed and in these particular moments it haunts us from a distance, an exterior force that unlocks interior uncertainties. This music is transposed of this experience and is written for those moments were consciousness is arguably speculative.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : HEXA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Room40\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobira Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42282484596986,"sku":"","price":2890.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ma3_79bfacc8-a396-4418-834d-1c8517e97a49.jpg?v=1641450869"},{"product_id":"phill-niblock-ghosts-and-others-cd","title":"Phill Niblock \/\/ Ghosts And Others CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカの大御所実験音楽家Phill Niblockが、2022年6月にオーストラリア・ブリスベンの実験レーベルRoom40からリリースした再発盤（オリジナルは1999年リリース）です。以下、レーベル解説です。 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e『Ghosts And Others』は、フィル・ニブロックの作品群の中でも特異な作品である。この作品は、その内容だけでなく、方法論やアプローチにおいても特異なものです。この作品は、編集、ロケ、音響観察において非常に集中した活動を表している。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e多くの点で、この作品は、映画制作者としての彼の実践を音響的に映し出したものである。この作品は自分自身を世界に公開し、そうすることで特定の視点を明らかにし、その対象についてと同様にその制作者についても語っている。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eニブロックのすべての作品と同様に、この作品は忍耐の作品である。ある部分では特定の瞬間が支配的であり、別の部分では一見消え去るかのように見える。ある場所と別の場所を行き来し、時間を超えて徐々に進化していく様子は、境界の中での動きを示唆している。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGhost And Othersの全体を通して、衝突の感覚がある。香港のアバディーンでの葬儀の行列で幽霊を追い払うためのダイナミックな打楽器の爆発が、この作品を特徴づけている。車のクラクション、ハンガリーのソビエト時代の農場の牛の鳴き声、その他様々な音の断片の間で鳴り響く。他の場所では、葦の楽器が自分自身のための空間を切り開こうとするが、世界はそれを許さない。これは、聴覚的な展望と同様に、近接性を賞賛する作品である。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eトランジットもまた、この作品のテーマである。Ghost And Othersで魅力的なのは、作品の中にある移動の感覚だ。列車はこの作品を分割し、移行、気晴らし、発見のポイントを示している。電車はほとんど門番のような役割を果たし、私たちを新しい空間へと通し、音が結合したり離れたりすることで音の新しい関係を示唆している。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eフィールド・レコーディングの作品として、Ghosts And Othersは寛大で、人を招き入れ、そして何よりも深い。それは、場所、人々、物事の共鳴的な認知である。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2151751053\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Room40 releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Ghosts And Others is a singular work in the Phill Niblock canon.

I spent almost five years there, surrounded by the frenetic mood of the tireless Egyptian capitol.

I was first much more focussed on the sound itself, than the place it needed to be in relation with the other sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile recording I decided to invite a long time collaborator Cinzia De Lorenzi, a very creative dancer and choreographer, to come into the studio and work with me.

We had a very quick understanding of the creative dynamic and I was positive that her voice would be able to fit in the sound interstices that were appearing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI thought the presence of the voice would help me to play with how, as the listener, I would experience a sense of distance across each track.

Following the concert, I sat down to edit the music but struggled with the pieces, every time finding new flaws, unable to follow through with the original compositional ideas. Somewhat frustrated, I decided to strip down the musical content to form more bare-bone structures and look for a different principle or process to tie everything\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e together.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor this, I shifted focus to a long running part of my video practice: the deterioration of things over time, where I use my camera with simple lighting and slow movements to focus on rusty, dirty, burned or broken found objects. I like the idea of these things being both recent and ancient, contemporary artefacts of a world in constant decay. I like the idea of being able to still sense memory on objects even when they’ve become almost entirely unrecognizable.  I like how this pushes back against the inevitability of impermanence. I like the act of scavenging and reusing discarded objects to put them in new but uncertain light. I like to think of it as a kind of ritualistic transformation of 'trash-to-treasure', a conjuring of a thing's entire past through imperceptible clues left on it's surface.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor Deafened by the Noise of Time I wanted to apply these ideas to sound, and consider how a musical idea might disappear under an accumulation of interferences, as a kind of sonic sedimentation and erosion. External elements such as conversations, field recordings, generative noises, silence and inharmonic tones cover the original music similar to the way rust covers metal, or how memories dim and fade, or the way debris accumulates and compresses an object, casting it in stone. For these pieces I looked at Time as a continual burying of the present moment, leaving visible only small details of the 'now' (and the things within it) as echoes towards the future.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Pierce Warnecke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Room40\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobira Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42974062772474,"sku":"","price":2140.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/de1_f164f3d2-63d1-4977-8752-334231439ae9.jpg?v=1657499322"},{"product_id":"akio-suzuki-analapos-cd","title":"Akio Suzuki \/\/ Analapos CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e京都の音響作家Akio Suzukiが1980年にリリースしたデビュー作の再発盤です。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e自作楽器アナラポスの写真資料やAki Ondaとの英文インタビューなどが掲載されたブックレットが付属。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=227392117\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Room40 releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes insert card and 28 page book which includes exclusive photographs and an extensive interview conducted by Aki Onda about the history of the Analapos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e***\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoom40:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eIn 1979, Akio Suzuki recorded a performance, ’New Sense Of Hearing’, at the Nagoya American Centre.

It is the connective pathway between two nature reserves, called Holme Fen and New Decoy, and both sites are part of a habit restoration project called The Great Fen Project and is close to where Scott grew up as a child. This area first became a location of compositional inspiration over a decade ago, when Scott created 'Below Sea Level' on 12k (later reissued on Touch). His return to the Fens has produced a number of new works, presented here on ‘Long Drove’, that are intimate sonic narratives of place and rural trauma.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘Long Drove’ is a site-specific sound study which shifts the Anthropocene discourse from spectatorship to musical participation, accountability, and creative engagement. The near future of the Fens, with concerns of further subsidence and threat of flooding, remains a palpable concern. One can almost hear Scott’s thought processes within these five compositions, of what the Fens would sound like if submerged and flooded by water again, returning to its original marshland state as a result of climate change, as the field\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e recordings dissipate and unfurl with melancholic washes of decaying tape loops and digitally processed textures of Fenland sonorities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“I regularly visit the remote and nameless broken bridge,” Simon explains, “that is situated over a long drainage ditch that connects Holme Fen and New Decoy nature reserves, simply to listen. Each season I’d return to observe the sonorities of wildlife merge and coalesce with the hum of the long telephone wires that stretch across the wide and flat Fens. Within my audition I’d perceive different sonic characteristics within the same location and I soon began to record its vast polyphonic glory. By pure serendipity my water bottle accidentally struck the steel bridge, and it rang out like a gong across the Fen landscape. This inspired me to use soft mallet beaters to actually play the bridge as a percussive musical instrument and capture its resonant qualities. A subsequent desire was also to place my tiny DPA microphones inside one of the bridge vertical openings to act as a filter of the many sonorities within and outside of the metal bridge. The vibratory aural qualities of the bridge would differ depending on what part of the bridge I struck and what season it was.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e‘Holme Fen Posts' traces out looped recordings taken from one of two of the famous steel Holme Fen nature reserve posts, which are located at the lowest cartographical location in England (six feet below mean sea level). The posts were driven into the ground in 1851 to take ground readings of subsidence by local landowner William Wells. Metal placards were attached to the posts to depict the subsequent dates of the level of the ground and Scott wedged two contact microphones in between the horizontal posts to capture its sonorities. The recordings reveal not only the slow and deep vibratory sounds of the steel sculptures but also the rhythmic dynamics created by natural phenomena, such as the downpour occurring as Scott recorded, and the resonances within the surrounding area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe natural phenomena of wind became aeolian sound characteristics, as heard in The Whistling Wire, and the soft rhythm of the bridge being struck became the long-pitched drones and reverberant textures that these vibrations produced reveals the complex sonic topography of the Fens. From capturing the symphonic glory of the wind which, without any human intervention, ignites the holes in the wires. This triggers shifting planes of transmissible climate change induced musicality. ‘The Black Fen’ traces sound fields through cassette tape loops of aeolian field recordings which are manipulated when fed into Scott’s modular synth system to gradually tease out submerged hidden melodies. \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Simon Scott\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Room40\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobira Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43770318389498,"sku":"","price":2180.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/lo1_9f57e69e-c695-4a4c-a27e-5ab9e47825db.jpg?v=1670998593"},{"product_id":"phauss-nya-sverige-nothing-but-the-truth-cd","title":"Phauss \/\/ Nya Sverige - Nothing But The Truth CD+BOOKLET","description":"\u003cp\u003eスウェーデンの美術家Carl Michael von Hausswolffと同国映像作家Erik PauserによるデュオPhaussが、2022年12月にオーストラリアの実験レーベルRoom40からリリースした再発CDです。（オリジナルは1991年リリース）\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e彼らが1991年にアメリカで行ったツアーでの録音作品です。今では考えられない程に危険なパフォーマンスです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e北米ツアーでの写真やドキュメントを掲載した32ページのブックレットが付属。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhaussはCarl Michael von HausswolffとErik Pauserの二人組です。1980年代初頭に結成されたPhaussは、音、光、パフォーマンス、視覚における実践の端緒を再構築することに関心を寄せる、スウェーデンらしからぬ世代のアーティストたちの中で活動しました。この時期は、様々な要因が重なり、アーティストが自分の興味や制作方法の絶対的な核心を掘り下げ、アイデアの絶え間ない発掘に専念することができた、スウェーデンにとって記念すべき豊穣の時代でした。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eサウンドとインスタレーションを扱う\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCarl Michael von HausswolffとErik Pauserは、作曲、状況主義、サイトスペシフィック作品、拡張されたパフォーマンスの方法論といった概念を解体する手段としてPhaussを使用しました。1980年代後半から1990年代初頭にかけて、彼らは旅を通して、故郷から中東、北米、アジアに広がるシーンやコミュニティへとつながっていきました。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e旅と同様に、彼らの作品への取り組み方も広範囲に及び、生来の好奇心が旺盛でした。彼らは、しばしば非常に厳格なコンセプチュアルな構造で制作しますが、その中で、パフォーマンス、反復、そして成功と同様に失敗を許容する熟考された実験を通して、作曲と音の物質的な生産についての全く新しい方法を解き明かすことができたのです。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNya Sverige - Nothing But The Truthは、1991年に\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHafler TrioとZbigniew Karkowski\u003c\/span\u003eと共に徹底的なツアーを行った際に、アメリカで録音されたものです。このツアーは、今では伝説となっていますが、大変なものであると同時に実りの多いものでした。一度に何週間もバンの中で生活し、最も質素な手段で都市間を移動したため、Phaussはアメリカの非常に特殊なビジョン、つまり、ありふれた風景の中に存在するものを知ることになったのです。彼らの体験は、都市の一番端っこのほうで味わうものでした。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eこのエディションに収録されている彼らのパフォーマンスは、生々しく、率直に言って危険なものでした。ステージ上の火、ショートした電子機器から飛び散る火花、激しい肉体的儀式は、このツアー中の彼らの作品の多くを導いており、当時のブートレグビデオを振り返ると、その作品が現代社会で発表できることを想像するのは難しいです。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e彼らのツアーのフライヤーには「Extreme Swedish Industrial」と書かれています。この言葉は今なら見慣れた言葉かもしれませんが、1991年当時は全く異なる響きをもっていました。それは、よくわからない参照語であり、Phaussの音楽の強度は、今日に至るまでその未知性を維持しています。この作品は、非常に個性的な作品であり、後に続く世代の音楽家たちの舞台となるものです。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KjqO__spX44\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Room40 releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes 32-page perfect bound book featuring in conversation by Lawrence English with CM vom Hausswolff and Erik Pauser, plus exclusive photographs and documents from the creation of Nya Sverige - Nothing But The Truth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoom40:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Phauss is Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Erik Pauser. Formed in the early 1980s, Phauss operated amidst of generation of uncharacteristic Swedish artists concerned with reshaping the edges of practices in sound, light, performance and vision.

Revisit the book now though and its character has shifted, for in the digital age a dead channel is a richly saturated sky blue. The referential effects of time are not constant, but they rather provoke new perspectives and ideally new understandings.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis album, Approach, is an echo that has travelled with me for 33 years, even if I wasn’t fully aware of it.

In many respects this album is a soundtrack to that manga. What makes Grey unique, in the west at least, is that it was amongst one of the first Manga to be translated and distributed\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e outside of Japan (yes, even before the touchstone that is Akira). It was one of the first droplets that has since become a torrent pouring outward from Japan. It was also the first Manga I bought for myself, when I was 13, and read as a serial.\u2028\u003cbr\u003eI tend not to think or speak very much about my teenage years. I had some profound experiences that have carried forward, I forged deep emotional partnerships that carry to this day. The majority of that time however was something of a slog, a day by day performance of self-preservation. Those years were a quiet war to push back against expectations for a way of being I had no interest in sharing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAll boys’ schools, one of which I attended, are a maleficent prison if you are not participating in, or as was my case you are maintaining an antithetical position to, hegemonic masculinity. There’s no real need to detail my experiences but suffice to say several years after high school a classmate approached me in a stationery store and asked for my forgiveness for what he had done to me. I was only too happy to give him that relief, it was obvious he wore scars from those experiences that seemingly ran deeper than my own.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI don’t find myself dwelling on those negative experiences partly because during those years I was a sponge for culture. It’s difficult for me to quantify how much cultural consumption happened during my teen years, but I recognise now how formative so many of those exposures have become. An example of this came into sharp focus last year when I happened to remember, and then re-read Tagami’s Grey.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs laconic and occasionally unlikable as the main character, Grey, might have been I associated deeply with their sense of determination. Grey’s rejection of societal expectation (which is foregrounded by the edition’s introduction penned by speculative fiction author Harlan Ellison, who highlighted the class politics that haunt the storyline), and his refusal to accept the immobility of systems, and social codes, clearly resonated with me. Add to this a delightfully nihilistic optimism matched with unquenchable rage and that young version of me was sold; I knew already that sensation of rage, when applied with focus, would be my fuel throughout those years.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis record then is also a kind of sonic postcard retrospectively drafted for that very unsteady and volatile version of myself. It’s more than that of course, but I want to recognise and thank that belligerent young person, who seems so distant to me now. I recognise that their way of navigation, their determination to be curious and try to discover who they were, not who they were told to be, allowed this version of me to exist today. It also pays homage to the family and friends (and the cultural artefacts such as this manga) that helped cushion and guide that young body and mind. Without them, it’s difficult to know how I might be in the here and now.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Lawrence English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Room40\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobira Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43770405028090,"sku":"","price":2290.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/ap1_4f70caa7-732c-46dd-a46f-8639317753be.jpg?v=1670999931"},{"product_id":"chris-abrahams-follower-lp","title":"Chris Abrahams \/\/ Follower LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eオーストラリアの大御所ジャズピアニストChris Abrahamsが、2022年12月に同国実験レーベルRoom40からリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e物音ドローン〜実験ジャズ4曲を収録。DLコード付属。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1649265779\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=740434351\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026lt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1649265779\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/room40\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Room40 releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL code. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMatte varnish, printed inner sleeve, black slip, black vinyl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRoom40:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eOn the opening track, Costume, bass piano meanders through a wilderness of de-tuned bells and organ swells; a strange sort of festival.

As the consummate archiver he had inherited a tape of an interview with me in 1985 done with Kevin Concannon, in particular about my music production. He points out that in it I mention “a device called a digital delay” that I had been exploring.  A Deltalab Effectron II Digital Delay, which let you make little short 1 second loops and manually inject other sounds among other things – nice kind of kluge aesthetic. We knew each other through Electronic Arts Intermix where Stephen worked for some time. I had started out as a Video Artist exploring Image\/Music \/text relations. \u2028\u2028I had liked Stephen’s work in the past with Molly Berg called “Between You and the Shapes You Take.” I also enjoyed “Captiva” with Taylor Deupree. More recently I had started a collaboration with Michael Grigoni (who lives here in Durham, NC) that was put on pause due to his course schedule. Stephen sent me his lovely album with Grigoni – “Slow Machines.” So I wrote Stephen a note and asked “Would love to collaborate with you if you ever feel like it!” and he responded “Sure, I'd be happy to work on something together. Let me know what you're thinking - or when something feels like a time and idea to start. I can generate some material and\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e send it your way, or just as happy if you want to send me something.” He sent me some things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u2028\u2028I had just completed working with a very good recording engineer on some new piano recordings, which I edited into short sample libraries, which I in turn sent to him. I often use these to build up my tracks in a very physical manner in Ableton live, often exploring chance relations and juxtapositions, then choosing what I feel “works”. Later I sent him some other things – DX7 and analogue synth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe started working on both our own linear tracks with the materials and others, and also exploring the re-arrangement of each other’s work samples juxtaposed with some other parts of the library of materials. Stephen also began to include some found sound that was quite lovely. \u2028\u2028I was hoping he might convince Molly Berg to contribute – I really love her sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen sent me acoustic guitar, some ebow which I love, and some experimental abstraction of guitar.

As he sometimes does, he came with an ‘partition concrète’ that was part score, part ensemble member, part fixed media. The music is coaxed from the ensemble, without score, but with discussions, listening and experiments. In the live performances, Marchetti efficiently and imaginatively positions speakers in strange directions, heights and places and somehow, the sounds melt together, intertwining and indiscernible - as on this recording. Marchetti adapts the partition concrète after first  rehearsals and performances, integrating recordings of the acoustic instruments with synthesizers, tape and electronic manipulations in his home studio.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe recording of Inland Lake occurred in two places at\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e once: at the Digital Hub, Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and Performance at Monash University, Melbourne and Soundfield Studio in Perth, Western Australia.

The ensemble was split in half between the east and west coasts of Australia, listening together over the Internet, recording locally. Marchetti later mixed and mastered the track in his own studio.

Or perhaps only this wretched text in italo-english?). And so happens that all those tales of more or less real influences and half-read epiphanic books; of networks of poetic and political references and offhand quotations from Mark Fisher will be repeated ad libitum while the\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e music is hiding in shame from the paper (or from the screen-paper-simulacrum or whatever we might call that thing).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have a special word in italian for this stuff: supercazzola.
