Label: I Dischi Di Angelica - IDA 033

大推薦、暗黒 & オブスキュアな現代音楽好きはマスト！！テリー・ライリー(本作に参加)やルイジ・ノーノとも親交を持つイタリアのコントラバスプレイヤーStefano Scodanibbio。WERGOにMode、Die Schachtel、ECMと多くの名門から作品が出ていますが、今回は最近良いリリースが続いているI Dischi Di Angelicaよりソロ作をリリース。一部では既に高い評価が付いている様で、内容はゴリゴリ〜バッキバッキのコントラバス中心の暗黒セッションから、テリー・ライリーのシンセと絡んだりする風変わりなものまでと多彩。とにかく重くて暗い録音が多い。





Stefano Scodanibbio (1956 -2012) was one of the great contrabassists of recent times. A student of Fernando Grillo’s and a long-time associate of Luigi Nono and Terry Riley he was active both as an interpreter – composers who wrote for him include Scelsi, Sciarrino, Bussotti, Xenakis, Ferneyhough and Grisey - and as an improviser. This memorial CD brings together an extraordinary programme of previously unreleased pieces, co-initiated with a glowing cast of collaborators: variously, Terry Riley (Korg Triton synth), Rohan de Saran (cello), Garth Knox (viola), Mike Svobda (trombone), Tristan Honsinger (cello), Frances-Marie Uitti (cello), Bruce Ackley (soprano sax) and Michael Kiedaisch (percussion), mostly in duos. It is a rich and tactile music with hyperreal attention to details of microtonality and timbre.The recordings are flawless. Exquisitely selected and edited by Massimo Simonini, and mastered by Bob Drake.
