Label: Sublime Retreat

多作の人気アーティスト2者が共同で制作した50分ノンストップの持続音長編!!もはや全ての音源を把握する事が困難な多作のフランス人音楽家Bruno Duplant、音楽活動のみならずアートワーク・デザインでも多忙を極めているオランダのRutger Zuydervelt、常にアウトプットを続ける2者が発表した共同音源。持続音にフォーカスした内容で、虫の羽音、コオロギの声、引き伸ばされたオルガンが独特のウネリを保ちつつモーフィングの様な形式で入れ替えられていく、ミックス的な手法がカッコ良い一枚。美しいスリーヴデザインはRutger Zuyderveltによるもの。



"Bruno Duplant's collaborations come in two forms. As a composer, he sends a letter that doubles as a score, and looks forward to hearing what the recipient makes of his missive. As a musician, he is a true drone whisperer, capable of coaxing endless variety from elongated organ chords. That's exactly what he does to marvelous effect on Synchronicite, playing long tones that swell, loom and fade. Zuydervelt's contrasting contributions are strikingly animalistic, ranging from throaty purrs to repetitive, cricket-like chirrups. How he made them is not clear, but the effect they have is to open the windows of Duplant's virtual cathedral and let some wildlife in."

This music can smuggle you to a dark park at night or a frosty forest in the morning, providing both comfort and anxiety. You shift to another time zone and bite into the sounds. The sounds you hear, tremble like warm air above cold sand.

It may sound both comforting and ominously dystopian at the same time, but it always holds a mysterious freshness, like traces and echoes of something fleeting and barely noticeable...
