Label: LAAPS
個人的激推しアンビエント・アーティストがLAAPSに登場!!ニューヨークで小学校教師の傍ら音楽家として活動、レーベルFlorabelleを運営しスローながらも良質なリリースを重ねるNed Milligan。通算6枚目となるソロアルバムを出版。過去の作品で拘ってきた"屋外録音"を継続しつつ本作ではエレクトロニクスの導入も強化した、半ばエレクトロアコースティック的感触が漂う全8曲。徹底した緻密な加工への拘りが素晴らしい。お馴染みCDスリーヴを完全シール留めしたセンスの良いパッケージ。CD版は限定200。

"My work in the past five years has been grounded in recording and playing outdoors, trying to communicate the meaning of being in a particular location and finding meaning in interacting with whatever sounds or elements are equally present. I'm still excited by all of it! This sense of purpose continues with Considerable and the most I could wish for is that the specificity of what I am doing and where I'm doing it manages to evoke something in anyone listening--a connection to their own environments and spaces. None of these pieces is strictly documentary or one-take in approach or composition, but I hope that the combination of processed and "factual" sounds achieve integrity."
