超傑作!!フィールドレコーディング即興の名作がどでかいフォトブック付き仕様で再発!!オリジナルは名門FMPから1977年に出版、重鎮ペーター・ブロッツマン & ハン・ベニンクが立ち入り禁止区域であるドイツの奥深い森内部で行った、たった二人だけの野外即興パフォーマンス記録[Schwarzwaldfahrt]。録音にはカメラと初期のポータブル・レコーダーを使用、自身らの演奏に加え(ハン・ベニンクはドラム無し)野鳥の声とセッションしたり、水遊びをしたり、丸太で作られた大きな木琴を叩いたり、上空を飛行機が通過する音を捉えたりと、殆どが現場の状況及び出来る事で構築されたまさに魔法の様な空間の傑作ドキュメント。尚、本作は過去にAtavisticやCien Fuegosから再発されていますがフォトブック付き版はこれが初であり、両者が録音の途中で撮影した、また新たに発見された写真で構成されています。



In the spring of 1977, two musicians – Han Bennink and Peter Brötzmann – disappeared into the depths of a German deity named Dark Forest…

Schwarzwaldfahrt 1977 is a magical document of a moment out of time, a moment when the saxophonist Peter Brötzmann and percussionist Han Bennink made a series of journeys deep into the heart of the Black Forest with a bunch of cameras and some early portable recording equipment in order to capture the sound of the moment. The recordings that they made there were released as the Schwarzwaldfahrt album by FMP in 1977 and it remains a free music classic, recorded completely in the open air, with Bennink and Brö duetting with the birds, playing in the water, drumming on great natural xylophones made of logs and catching the sounds of airplanes strafing the skies. It is a music of eternal expansion, of elemental communion.

This new book comes with the original recordings on a CD and is assembled round a treasure trove of newly-discovered photographs taken during the trip by both Brötzmann and Bennink – photographs of each other, of their lodgings, of their ritual communions, of their route into, and out of, the forest. To contextualize the photos – and the music – the award-winning author David Keenan (This Is Memorial Device/Monument Maker et al) contributes an evocative/poetic text that situates the duo’s radical musical action in the context of their work while riffing on the uncanny beauty and long-ago aura of these evocative photographs, photos that seem to echo the very sounds of the Dark Forest itself.

“It’s so lonely, this music, these two friends, making music on their own, in all of this space, and back of time, now, too, a document of a world that seems less populated – by people, by ideas, by demands, by the tyranny of modern time, itself.” – David Keenan
