Label: Gruenrekorder - Gruen 103

多くのフィールドレコーディング名作を残し続けるここGruenrekorderを主宰、自身もフィールドレコーディストとして、また電子音楽家として活動してきたRoland Etzin。彼が日本に向かう旅の途中に音のポートレートとして記録した非常に質の高い未処理のサウンドスケープ集。ロシアより始まり、中国、バイカル湖、モンゴル、韓国、そして日本という流れになっており、試聴の通り虫の声やら物音がそのままダイレクトに美しい情景で切り抜かれています。日本の録音のみ一度Wire誌のコンピレーションCDに収録された模様。大推薦。

TransMongolian is a composition of unprocessed field recordings composed in soundscapes. I recorded these acoustic phenomena on my journey through Russia, along Lake Baikal, through Mongolia, China and South Korea to Japan. These countries do not only have very different landscapes and ways of life, they also differ in their sounds, a dimension which more often than not goes unnoticed. The 6 acoustic portraits reflect what I found to be representative of or very special about the countries.

Portrait 1 (Recorded in Russia, 08/2010)
Portrait 2 (Recorded in China, 08/2010)
Portrait 3 (Recorded at Lake Baikal, 08/2010)
Portrait 4 (Recorded in Mongolia, 08/2010)
Portrait 5 (Recorded in South Korea, 09/2010)
Portrait 6 (Recorded in Japan, 10/2010)
