Label: Room40

2003年から2011年に掛け変名TBAとして活動、グルジアの電子及び実験音楽の作曲家、SSW、音楽プロデューサーとして様々な形態で動く女性アーティストNatalie Beridze。同レーベルより出版した前作LP[Of Which One Knows]は室内楽と音響とを組み合わせた不思議な感触でしたが、本作はその延長にあると言える更にコンテンポラリーへと踏み込んだ実験的内容。自身の美しい歌唱をベースに作られていますが、並走する点描ピアノの効果が非常に素晴らしく、不穏と心地良さを行き来する絶妙なラインで仕上げられています。エンボスジャケット、インサートカード付き。



Matte laminated, embossed and monochrome printed sleeve with insert card.

A Note from Thomas Brinkmann

If we could hear

Wenn wir hören könnten… dann ? Who Hears It All. Als würde das etwas ändern - Noise in thermodynamics - an average low level warmth.

Let`s go back to the pre-orthodox world, the ancient one, which gave us mythology, extreme experiences, congealed in stories.

Echo was a storyteller herself, distracting from what was going on around her, up to the point when she got punished, and from then she was only able to repeat the last words spoken to her, to her, to her…
A loop is a loop is a loop and it`s all about roses. A rose is arrows, is errors…

Echo - is a potential, endless space. We need this construction towards an actual eternity we cannot grasp.

This layer was up above the „countless expressions“. I could hear it from the very first moment to the last. Searching in transitions, lost in transitions.

The idea of a space behind the next space helps us get through, in order not to get lost in such constructions. Only for this „If We Could Hear“ has seven pieces, a beginning, and an end. It`s a poem and not a Matryoshka even, it sounds like one.

„A strange footprint on the shores of the unknown, out there extending from nowhere, turning in on itself to a place which is both an ending and a beginning.“*
