Label: Entr'acte - E207

80年代のSound Of Pigに数本のカセットを残しているアメリカのコンポーザーにして詩人でもある大ベテランJoseph Nechvatal。彼が2015年に発表した詩集[Destroyer of Naivetes]をEntr'acteが音作品として制作したのがコレ。自身も音楽家として活動するBlack Sifichiが朗読を担当、そして音はなんとRhys Chathamという豪華編成。淡々としていながらもヤバイ磁力が漂い続けます。こういったディープなアプローチが出来るのもこのレーベルの魅力。





Destroyer of Naivetés is a recording by Cave Bacchus
(Joseph Nechvatal, Black Sifichi and Rhys Chatham) of
Nechvatal’s sex farce poetry book Destroyer of Naivetés
that was published in 2015 by Punctum Books (and is
available here).

Destroyer of Naivetés is an epic passion poem, power-
fully read by Black Sifichi, that takes up a position of
excess from within a society that believes that the less
you conceal, the stranger you become.

Destroyer of Naivetés owes much to the too-much
artists who helped inspire its pulsating ornate manner-
ism: Petronius Arbiter, Giacomo Casanova, Jean Genet,
Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Verlaine,
Arthur Rimbaud, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Tristan Tzara,
Raymond Roussel, Comte de Lautréamont, Kathy Acker,
Ovid, Antonin Artaud, Gertrude Stein, Henry Miller,
Jack Smith, Ken Russell, Robert C. Morgan, William S.
Burroughs, Francis Picabia, Samuel Beckett, Federico
Fellini, John Giorno, Allen Ginsberg, Georges Bataille,
Bradley Eros and Carolee Schneemann. All helped
inspire its eccentric erotic sensibility and its self-
consciously elaborate stylistic conceits.
