Label: Robot Records - RR50

過去のH.N.A.S.やMirrorの活動でお馴染みドイツの超重要エクスペリメンタル作家Christoph Heemannによる、ソロでの正式なリリースものとしては凡そ8年振り？となる最新ヴァイナルが登場！！一度Dom Bartwuchsからセルフリリースしていたあの傑作ノイジー持続音&コラージュ[Perception & Association]のLP化版で、版元解説にもありますがJacques LejeuneやEliane Radigueなど、初期電子音楽の精神すらも感じさせる凄まじい領域にまで踏み込んだ一枚。とんでもなくカッコイイ内容です。

Consisting of two side-long pieces, Perception & Association was composed over a period from 2012-2018. Opening side-A is Time and Again, a startling work for tape and electronics which pulses over waves of interlocking spatial relationships. These elements are at once distant, even static, yet Heemann gradually propels the listener along chapters of an unexpected and further revealing sonic narrative. While the deliberate frames and events offer a specific path, even the most active listener will gain new insights with repeated spins. Side-B, The Trains, suggests not merely a travelogue, but a series of meticulously constructed episodes that reference the record's opposite side as well as the album title as a whole. In the spirit of early electroacoustic works by Jacques Lejeune, Eliane Radigue, and Jaap Vink, these new pieces continue to emphasize Heemann's ongoing filmic obsessions and firmly engage the listener with his latest cinéma pour l'oreille (cinema for the ear).
