Label: Cold Spring - CSR264CD

個人的にもその活動や作品に一時期どハマりした、David Toop& Nestor Figuerasらと活動を共にしたPaul Burwell、変態的なパフォーマンスで知られるAnne Bean、そして英国で有名な彫刻家の一人Richard Wilsonからなる、パフォーマンスアート集団Bow Gamelan Ensemble。オリジナルは1988年にカセット & LPフォーマットにて発表されたカルト名盤[Great Noises That Fill The Air]の初リイシュー版がコレ。スクラップメタル、電気モーター、電球、花火等々、無茶苦茶な発想から騒音オーケストラを生み出す非常に楽しい現場録音。なんと2017年に他界したZ'ev参加のトラックも有り。Andrew Chalk諸作で有名なDenis Blackhamによるリマスター仕様。



Since 1983, Bow Gamelan Ensemble have inspired generations of artists with their radical practices and explosive performances. Charged with their individual virtuosity in performance art, avant-garde music and kinetic sculpture, their sound installations and performances are immersed in an orchestra of instruments made from scrap metal, electric motors, river barges and domestic objects including glass sheets, light bulbs and fireworks. A dissonance between 'noise' and 'meaningful utterance’ that will astonish the ears and ravish the imagination with unearthly magic.

Guests: Z'EV, Nicola Kate Heys, Thames Steam Launch Co., Eel Pie Marine.

30th anniversary reissue of the sought-after LP from 1988, on CD for the first time. Mastered by Denis Blackham (Skye Mastering). Digipak.
