Label: Some Fine Legacy
漸く入荷!!Achim P. Li Khanとのノイズ/コラージュ・デュオ"H.N.A.S."、Andrew Chalkとのドローンユニット"Mirror"等、様々な伝説的プロジェクトに参加し多くの名盤を残してきたドイツのベテラン音響職人Christoph Heemann。過去にEntr'acteやKraak等にソロ音源を残しているアントワープ出身の音楽家Gerard Hermanとの共作[Project Pope]を入荷。米作家クリフォード・シマックのSF小説からインスピレーションを得た作品であり、ピアノとギター・ループをアナログエレクトロニクスで処理した催眠的な長編ドローン2曲を提示。まさにChristoph Heemannといった巧みな構築美が素晴らしすぎる傑作。
Some Fine Legacy is proud to announce the first LP by Project Pope, the collaborative project of Antwerp artist Gerard Herman and Christoph Heemann, known from his solo output as well as many releases with Mimir, In Camera and Mirror.
Prior to Project Pope Gerard Herman has been producing a series of intriguing solo LP releases for the Entracte, Kraak and Opgewarmde Groenten labels.
Then in 2021 the two met for a week at Les Ateliers Claus in Brussels to produce this new masterpiece of distorted beauty. On two sidelong tracks Herman and Heemann explore and combine hypnotic piano loops processed with analogue electronics, slow motion drone rock and ethereal textures into a unique expression and entrancing experience that needs to be heard to be believed.
The result is equally strange and bewildering as the Clifford Simak novel the project name was inspired by.
