Label: Art into Life - AIL017

新潟の音楽家 能勢山陽生 氏による、過去のDiesel Guitar名義を含めこれが初となるLPタイトル [Matter and Life]。フォーマットに収める事が非常に困難とされてきた氏の体感型演奏を、今まで試みられて来なかった初のヴァイナルフォーマットにて制作。膨大な数の録音より入念に選び抜かれた2015年の三つのテイクを収録、カセット以降に続けて来た持続音スタイルの集大成的作品。

全曲、桑山清晴 氏(Lethe)がマスタリングを担当、アートワークシート(裏表、異なるデザイン)が脱着可能な一点ものハンドメイドジャケット仕様。限定100部。

"Matter and Life" is the first ever LP release by Youki Noseyama from Niigata, either under his own name or his previous Diesel Guitar moniker. The sheer physicality of Noseyama's performances were always next to impossible to document on any recorded format, but Noseyama has now created this work especially for his first vinyl release. Three tracks from 2015 have been carefully selected from his vast body of recordings, and can be read as a digest of the continuous drone style that Noseyama has focussed on since his cassette works.

All tracks have been mastered by Kiyoharu Kuwayama (Lethe). The jacket includes a unique, handmade, detachable artwork sheet. Limited to 100 copies.
