大推薦！！あらゆる方にオススメしたい秀逸過ぎるターンテーブル録音！！Shelter Press、iDEAL Recordingsといった人気レーベルに諸作を残し、そしてここRoom40が2009年よりサポートを続けているニューヨークの作曲家、サウンドアーティスト、ターンテーブリストMarina Rosenfeld。既に20年以上活動しているベテラン女性作家であり、本作はレコードの盤面に直接溝を刻む自作の"ダブプレート"を用いた実験記録。メディアの不安定性を生かした面白いパフォーマンス録音となっており、彼女のサウンド素材のコレクションがチリノイズと共に様々に変容する全6テイクを収録。彼女のターンテーブリストとしての実力をモロに体感出来る作品です。付属のブックにはLawrence Englishの対話、写真を掲載。







Matte laminated and embossed CD with insert card plus 32 page book featuring an in conversation between Marina Rosenfeld and Lawrence English, and archival photographs and other materials.

For over two decades, New York-based artist and composer Marina Rosenfeld has pioneered a specific language for turntable music, based on an ever-expanding collection of dub plates she creates.

The dubplate is a one-off, hand-cut record. Each dubplate can be made to contain any array of sounds decided on by its creator. For Rosenfeld, her discovery of the dubplate in the late 1990s was a pivotal moment, when she recognised the material instability of the medium as critical tool for performance and composition.

On Index, the investigation of this materiality is paramount. The physical intimacy that colors the relation between the hand and the plate is revealed through a very particular reading of the turntable, one which sits in parallel to the more recognised ways in which that technology has been deployed as a performative tool.

This edition features a series of live recordings and related materials that trace the development of Rosenfeld’s tactile approach and her shifting collection of sound materials. The recordings are published alongside a book featuring extensive archival documentation, photography and a long-form conversation between Marina Rosenfeld and Lawrence English.
