Prima Materiaの一員であったコンポーザーのソロ音源!!アカデミックなトレーニングを受けていないボーカリスト達で編成、倍音を中心に様々な歌唱テクニックを追求し、1977年に超名作[[Tail Of The Tiger]を残したPrima Materia。このグループの核であるRoberto Laneriの個人音源がイタリアBlack Sweatより登場。ボイスのみならず尺八やシンセサイザーも導入、独自の作曲法と倍音のリズム配置により凄まじいハーモニック・ボーカル作品へと仕上げた超傑作。





Roberto Laneri (Prima Materia) further radicalizes his formal research path in the field of harmonic singing, with a highly rigorous compositional practice of scores and rhythmic placement of overtones. At the dawn of Western counterpoint and the birth of polyphony, he imagines as in a dream the famous Magister Perotinus (XII century) in ecstatic contact with higher entities (Jedi Masters) who would introduce him to those secrets of the vocal art, further developed in later centuries. Among the mysteries of subtle acoustic phenomena such as resonance, phasing and interference, the criterion of harmonic convergence (i.e. the convergence of different fundamentals on common overtones) emerges as a powerful compositional tool. The strength of this music lies in the vibrational power of sound, in an expanded archetypal liturgy, where lights and shadows of ancient Gothic cathedrals infinitely amplify the imaginative transformation of the real, as in the vesica piscis-shaped crevice of Noura Tafeche's sensational cover.
