Label: AZOTH

シンプルなシステムを用いた生々しいプリミティブ・ソロ録音！！81年にパルマで始動したイタリアの重要エクスペリメンタル・プロジェクトTomografia Assiale Computerizzata(T.A.C)結成時のメンバーであり、Ikue MoriやMax Eastley、Z'EVと共同制作も行ってきた大ベテランSimon Balestrazzi。氏の最初期アーカイヴを制作したAZOTHが手掛けた、恐らくここ数年のソロ音源の中で突出した内容と言っていい2018年発表のアルバム[Redshift]。インサートに写真が掲載されている自作システムや物体を使ったプリミティブな録音であり、金属を中心とした美しい嘶きやゴロゴロとした物音が転げ回るZ'EV的感触が強い高内容。
