Label: Cor Ardens - CA-06

ビジュアルアーティスト、画家、実験楽器ビルダーのJim Strongが運営する米レーベルCor Ardensのカセット音源。当店にて過去にThalamosからの作品を紹介している、ギリシャ出身、現在はベルリンを拠点に動いているサウンドアーティストKostas Kefalianosの2021年作[Der Schimmel]。フィールドレコーディングを使った怪しいループものを得意とする作家ですが、本作では残響たっぷりの瓶？を叩く音が木霊し、その背後にザラついた風景を忍ばせるという立体的で気持ちの良い配置の2曲を聞かせてくれます。ミックス&マスタリングはThalamosのPanos Alexiadisが担当。60部限定。



Side A: Das Gefängis der Wörter

Side B: Zuhause ist wo sie schläft während des Blumentodes

“Der Schimmel” lays out a hermetic and gem-like study in voice, tape and electronics across two side long compositions. Poem-fragments mold and gather into a sonorous mesh. The compositions echo in organic repetition while some integral part of its inferred world refrains from emerging in full. Recorded as the artist was adjusting to a recent move to a new country, and learning a new language. Der Schimmel, exhibits the amplifying fruits of immersion; a stage precariously revealed in it's pull between the familiarity of home and the grafting of new roots.

This project was mixed and mastered by Panos Alexiadis, whom the artist wishes to thank for the generous lending of his magical services.

Kostas Kefalianos is a visual and sound Artist originally from Greece, currently based in Berlin. In addition to his own work, he is also the co-founder of the experimental label, Thalamos.
