Label: Auf Abwegen

まさかの未発表音源がリリース！！パッケージデザインも素晴らしい！！2008年に他界した個人的激推しの重鎮コンセプチュアル/サウンド・アーティストTerry Fox。2017年にEdition Telemarkから2LP音源が出版されましたが、本作はそこから5年越しで発表された貴重な初出録音[Labyrinth Of The Inner Ear]。2006年の展覧会"Sonambiente"の為に作り上げた音源であり、視覚障害者が移動する際の杖の音及び変化する周辺の環境音にフォーカスした作品。「コツコツ」という静謐な杖の音に始まり、次第に様々な環境音がランダムに混入してくる、まさにこの人物らしい面白コンセプチュアルワークス。パッケージも凝った作りとなっており、6パネルのDVDスタイルデジパックに点字のエンボスが施されています。

In Terry Fox's own words: "For the exhibition "Sonambiente", I will produce a new audio work for compact disc. The title of this work will be "Labyrinth of the inner ear" and it will be recorded in Berlin on the 14th and 15th of April 2006. The compact disc will be produced directly after the recording process and presented, during sonambiente, in a room of the former polish embassy. This will be a kind of "drone" work consisting of the repetitive tapping of a sightless person (the artist, siegfried saerberg) navigating his way through an urban environment and finally returning to the place where the walk began. The sound of the cane, either tapping or sweeping back and forth, would be a constant in this composition. It would cease only when siegfried stops walking for some reason, for example: an interesting acoustical space, a ride in a public transport, etc. location interpretations could be ascertained by the sounds surrounding the steady central position of the cane; an alley, a busy shopping district, the relative quietness of a backstreet a park, and so forth. This walk would, itself, finally return to its place of origin."
