ドイツ現音の名門にして老舗Edition RZ、そして英Another Timbreにも2枚のアルバムを残している、パリを拠点とするイタリアの作曲家であり民族音楽学者のGiuliano D'Angiolini。複数のフルート用に作曲された楽曲を中心に収録した2024年末のリリースタイトル[)))(((]。巨匠達との共演やその楽曲演奏で知られる名プレイヤーManuel Zurriaがフルート演奏を担当、大音量でのリスニングを推奨した表題曲に始まり、不確定性の厳格な指示で展開する2曲目[7 Flauti]、3曲目[100100]、全ての楽曲にて非常に重みのある優れたプレイを披露。コンテンポラリー系のみならず持続音マニアも是非。

This album contains three new works by Italian composer Giuliano d'Angiolini: ')))(((', '7 flauti', and '100100', following his previous three albums: 'Simmetrie di ritorno' (Edition RZ, 2010), ‘Cantilena’ (Another Timbre, 2016) and ‘Antifona’ (Another Timbre, 2020).

')))(((' was composed in 2023 for four flutes and sheng or accordion, or six clarinets, and the version here is for four flutes and six clarinets. It is recommended to listen at high volume.

'7 flauti' was written in 2010 for seven flutes, and '100100' was written in 2023 for 36 flutes. Both '7 flauti' and '100100' follow strict procedures of indeterminacy. Thus, at each performance they sound differently.

Performers are Manuel Zurria on flute (Track 1, 2, 3) and Paolo Ravaglia on clarinet (Track 1).

“I was particularly interested in the roughness of sounds, acoustic beats and combination (resultant) tones. These tones do not exist physically, they are produced by the brain: we hear them inside our heads. I like the feeling they produce inside us, as if we were a sound source ourselves; which makes us lose our distance from the sound and a bit of our own integrity.” — Giuliano d’Angiolini
