Label: Black Sweat Records - BS056

コレは電子音楽マニアも是非、素晴らしい内容！！関連ユニットの音源が次々とリイシューされる奇才Walter Maioli、そして本作のオリジナルを制作した名カセットレーベルSound Reportersの録音&ミックスを担当したFred Galesを中心に、激レアプライベート作でも知られるRaffaele Serra、彫刻家Edward Luykenなど、この周辺の重要人物が多く参加した86年カルト作[Ethnoelectronics]が初リイシュー。この面々によってセレクトされた自然/環境音、各地のリチュアルな現場がシリアスに重々しく一緒くたでドロドロと放出される、Creel Poneの路線を好まれる方には絶対オススメの一枚です。



Originally released on tape by Sound Reporters in 1986. Ethnoelectronics is a further episode of pioneering fusion between ethnic and electronic music, involving dauntless explorers such as Walter Maioli, Nirodh Fortini, Fred Gales, Raffaele Serra, John Zandijk and the visionary sculptor Edward Luyken. As the soundtrack of an obscure science-fiction saga, the six parts of these recordings retain something profoundly osmotic and sidereal. In these hybridizations, it’s the heart of personal spiritual cosmos and stratospheric portals to pulse, but always remains the devotion to wild nature and ethnographic differences. In this way, the sinusoidal movements of electronic synthesizers and radiophonic frequencies interact with the pounding sounds of the jungle, with frogs, sea waves, buzz insects, leaves and rain. From flutes, rattles, steel sound sculptures or rustling idiophones, mysterious samples appeared like weird interferences, with rhythms and ritual voices from Tibet, West Papua, Burundi, Tahiti or the shamanic Japan of the Ainu.
