Label: K-RAA-K K096

以前当店にてカルト的に人気が出た、オランダのどマイナーカセットレーベルCold Milkからのカセット諸作を紹介したことがある、現在はオランダ地下音楽シーンの重要な存在となっているポスト・インダストリアル女性作家Red Brut。ベルギーの良質レーベルK-RAA-Kから出た記念すべき1st LPがコレ。ジョン・ケージやらBBCの女性電子音楽家ダフネ・オラムの再定義と解説にありますが、確かに妙にコンセプチュアルアートな感じやらメランコリックなメロディーのラフな電子音楽など、もはや感覚的とも言えるテープコラージュを展開する面白い感覚の持ち主。LPスリーヴがシール留めされた密閉パッケージ。

Red Brut is the moniker of Marijn Verbiesen (part of Sweat Tongue and JSCA). As Red Brut she is isolated, displaying a highly talented ear for day-to-day sounds, musique concréte composition and spontaneous sound collage.

The KRAAK record series — documenting off-stream’s currents — presents her self-titled debut, recorded at home and re-arranged in the come-down of an immersive tour in Japan. The 7 chapters document an intuitive and reflective journey through sensitive amateurism and hi-end musique concréte. The main instruments are cassettes, but unlike the continuous strain of post-noise releases, Verbiesen’s music is highly personal, subtile and displays an ever curious and astonished mind. Sounds of gaming interwave with brutal synth oscillations, melancholic melodies and sensual-absent poetry from the aether. Although rooted in the sinister absurdism of early 2000 experimentalism, her music embraces and redefines the concept of ‘music of the universe’, coined by John Cage, Daphne Oram and alikes.

This stand-out record is a sketchbook documenting a wide array of obscured emotions. It unveils the inner soul of a highly talented and unique voice in avant-garde tape music.
