Label: Cold Blue - CB0059

以前、同レーベルより出版された"月見"をコンセプトとした静謐なミニマルゴング作[Moon Viewing Music]を当店にて紹介した、Harold Buddらに師事したポストミニマルの現代音楽家Peter Garland。Tzadik、Mode、New World Recordsといった老舗レーベルにも音源を残す実力派であり、本作はアフリカ初の現代詩人ジャン・ジョセフ・ラベアヴェーロの詩よりヒントを得て作曲したソロピアノ作品。演奏は湯浅譲二の楽曲なども演奏/録音しているRon Squibbsが担当、絶妙な空白を挟みエレガント且つ軽快なパターンを刻み続ける大推薦ミニマル・ピアノ録音。

Two exuberant, beautiful solo piano pieces—the three-movement Three Dawns (1981–82), based on poems by Jean-Joseph Rabéarivelo, and the 10-movement Bush Radio Calling (1992), written for the music-theater work Just Them Walking, by New Zealand’s avant-garde theater company Red Mole.
Both works are elegantly and spiritedly performed by Ron Squibbs, a pianist who has also recorded music by Dane Rudhyar and Joji Yuasa.
Peter Garland is a composer, world traveler, musicologist, writer, and former publisher whose music is always informed by his well-traveled ear and strong sense of personal vision. He is a long-time associate of Cold Blue—his music has appeared on seven of the label’s previous CDs.
