Label: 13

Brian Enoのコンセプトを受け継ぐ秀逸な環境音作!!デトロイトを拠点に空間のサウンドデザイン及びその環境自体を作品化するサウンドアーティストRod Modell。ここ13、また系列のSilentesには7作品を残しているお馴染みの作家が制作した、タイトル通りの"バス停留所の為の音楽"。マルチチャンネルのインスタレーションとしても使える様に構成、現代建築と競合するのではなく空間を拡張するよう設計された壮大な静的サウンド。









MUSIC FOR BUS STATIONS is an astonishing work that pours into the soul of those allowing themselves to be transported in a dimension where sound turns into background noise. Sound becomes part of us, of our movements, our thoughts, our looks and our silences. There is no reason for resistance. Let's be silent. The noise around us is quite good.



"Generative sonic backdrop for bus stations. Designed to enhance space and portray a mod of progressiveness, grandeur, and ethereal calm. A slowly shifting static backdrop designed to enhance modern architecture, rather than compete with it. Sounding as if the structure itself was resonanting. Hovering sound-fields that utilizes sonic phenomena proven to induce states of calm. Can be presented as a multichannel, polyrhythmic installation with different components of the composition emanating form different areas within the structure, and elements constantly shifting in relationship to other elements, creating an organic sonic-tapestry that never repeats the same way. In essence, the soundscape becoming a living organism with unpredictable behavior. Inspired by avant-garde bus station designs such as Domitianus Arquitectura's station in Rio Maior, Portugal; Bluck & Morgen's Busbahnhof Poppenbuttel in Hamburg, Germany; and Metaraum Architect's bus station in Pzorzheim, Germany."
