Label: Boring Machines - BM027

Senufo Editionsにより発掘された作家Luciano Maggioreが、同じイタリアのテーブルトップ・ギター奏者Francesco Brasiniと録った1st CD。ミニマルを追求したお馴染みの絞りに絞った作風になっていますが、ギターを使用している為ハーモニーが強く出ています。レーベル詳細にもある通り確かにPhill NiblockやOren Ambarchiっぽい部分もあり。

Chàsm Achanés is the result of a common project between two experimental musicians of the fertile Bologna (IT) area where sound/art projects like Xing/Raum, Netmage and Sant’Andreadegliamplificatori are run by a community of forward thinking artist and musicians to create a meeting point for different languages and sensibilities. Recorded in one take at Officina49 in Cesena (IT) this record has been created using tape recorders and several electronic devices (Maggiore) and a number of self-built guitars (Brasini), under the control of Mattia Dallara who gave shape to the sound in the acoustic space from the mixing board.
Chasm Achanés generates a circular temporality in which the listener is invited to remember what the past is and to anticipate what could happen. An infinite presente tense always tending to something else, raising a sufficient margin of uncertainty so that the doubt creep in and let you believe that the repetition might not happen, the feeling that the future is always unknown. A surface of droning minimalism à la Phill Niblock dominates over an instable background made of rumbling frequencies, microtones and small resonances. Chàsm Achanés is like listening to an Oren Ambarchi record with the head in a jar of wasps.
