Label: Ina-Grm

1969年頃から活動しシェフェール、ベイルに師事したINA-GRMの作曲家Jacques Lejeune。90年代作曲のコンクレート[Fragments Gourmands]、[L'Eau Primesautière]の2作品を収録したINA-GRMからの1999年オリジナルCD。フランスの政治家ブリア＝サヴァランの著書に基づいた作品であり、なんと音素材としてPoly-Art Recordsからのサックス・エレクトロアコースティック・シリーズで知らられるDaniel Kientzyのパフォーマンスを使用。良い感じに厳つい振り切れた内容に仕上がっています。



1999 release ; two mid-90s concrète pieces from lejeune - both based on brillet-savarin’s “greedy fragments” (the english version of lejeune’s exceedingly detailed / gross libretto is printed below en toto) & performed by daniel kientzy ...

delightfully wonky digital-era concrète, replete with bad “lounge” drum-machine beats & endless french-language insinuation(s) whose subtlety is lost on a part-time speaker such as myself ...

“gourmet passages”
after brillat-savarin

animal tongues do not exceed the scope of their intelligence ; but the human tongue however, through its delicate texture, enrobed in its various membranes, heralds the sublime purpose for which it is destined. animals have limited tastes : some live on plants only, others will only eat grain foods ; others only eat flesh or blood. man on the other hand is omnivorous ; anything that can be eaten is subjected to his vast appetite. as soon as a succulent body passes his lips, it is confiscated forever, gases and juices all in one. closed lips prevent its return ; it is seized and crushed by the teeth; it is moistened by saliva ; it is mixed and turned by the tongue ; a suction movement pushes it towards the gullet ; and keenly sensed by smell on its way, it is precipitated into the stomach where it undergoes further change. the sequence to this perfection is that fondness of food is the prerogative of man.
