Label: Tanuki Records - Tanuki Records – 25
LPカッティング音そのものを作品化したり、ハードディスクドライブを使ったフィードバックワークスなど、常に興味深い録音を続けているブリュッセルのYann Leguay。期待の新作は自国のTanuki Recordsから。「Here I Am」と連呼し続ける人物がYann Leguayの家に辿り着くまでのサウンドスケープを捉えた面白過ぎるコンセプトのAサイド、電池駆動の携帯楽器、カセットプレイヤー、ターンテーブル、7個の自家製スピーカーによるぶっ壊れたクリックテクノなBサイド、今回も最高なアプローチ。
The idea behind the «Ground» tape was to join two very different projects connected by the medium.
The A side is up on the ground, a portrait of Brad Downey recorded on a walk from his home to Yanns' place in berlin with his voice repeating obsessively « here I am » all the 17min long, this related to his usual graffiti signature « brad was here ».
The B side is under the ground, a live recording of a concert done in the Catacombes of Paris for the Art Kill Vendredi 13 event. A special compact set-up, prepared to enter into the bowels of the city, consisting of portable battery powered instruments, K7 player , turntable , sequencer and magnetic sensors, spread on 7 home-made speakers. A 25min crackle mini noise techno appears from the material and feel driven by the particular atmosphere and acoustic of the place.
«Ground» is a perfect pretext to link those asymmetrical experiences, the tape becomes therefor the surface between the both.
Release gigs tonight in Brussels
