Label: 901 Editions

沈黙と音のテクスチャーのバランスを探求し続けるサウンドアーティスト/グラフィックデザイナーのLuigi Turra。日本の自然音にフォーカスした音源をand/OARやLineに残してきた人物が、3年ぶりとなる新作アルバムを901 Editionsより発表。光の美しい屈折をコンセプトとした音源であり、グラスを擦る/叩くサウンドとピアノの点描演奏がスローに放たれる静謐な空間音響。パーソナルなエレクトロアコースティックの研究とありますが、緊張感がありながらもしっとりした構造は心地良い催眠効果をもたらします。まさに901 Editionsらしい非常にセンスの良い出版物。毎度美しいデザインの6パネルデジスリーヴ。

“It forms slowly, through the refraction of light. It penetrates and breaks it down, radiating the listening space among the windows oriented to the spring sun. Oblique plates, breath and transparencies. Stillness. Sound prisms.”

'Prisma' is the first solo album from Italian composer Luigi Turra on 901 Editions, despite his long-term relationship with the label and appearances on various collaborations and compilations: 'Ma 間' with Fabio Perletta (2020), 'Kailash' with Shinkei (2016) and the piece 'Ki IV' (2016) for the series 'Quark: How Does The Invisible Sound?'.

Three years after 'Fukinsei', his latest solo album released by the Japanese label mAtter, Turra further develops his sound path, free from compromises and inclined toward radicalism. With Prisma, he continues to stylise his personal electroacoustic research, through a renewed reductionist guise in which corrosive metallic abrasions placed on the proscenium are retracted as sudden caesuras to leave space for rarefied and distilled piano styles, close to the most essential Ryūichi Sakamoto.

'Prisma' transfigures the sound images through an elegant impulse of refractions, consisting of sound / pause / noise that originate from silence and that are reabsorbed into it, through iridescent elliptic tensions.

A silence that reveals itself as suspension and antithesis to the suffocating fullness of language in order to trace a sound idiom, a balance between action and expectation.

The articulation of the elements is intimate, suspended and the logic of the combinations/juxtapositions subjectively unfolds in the progressive listening experience through an incorporeal diffusion, resolved in sound textures that dig out matter to highlight its residues.
