Label: Art into Life / Stevns Avantgarde Forsyning - AIL029/SAF2

デンマークはシェラン島にて地元の前衛芸術の展示会及びコンサートを企画する団体Stevns Avantgarde Forsyning。この団体とArt into Lifeが共同で制作したLP作品。日本とデンマークの外交樹立150周年を記念して開催された音楽プログラム"OPPOSITE 2017"で来日したサウンドアーティストJonas Olesenを中心とする団体であり、本作にはそのパートナーのSandra Boss、マルチインストゥルメンタリストAnders Lauge Meldgaardによるトリオ編成の演奏を収録。各々がオルガンの音響機能を継承した風変わりな改造パイプオルガンを用い、MIDIコントロールや特殊奏法にて驚くべきパターンと音色構造を表現。演奏とインスタレーションの間にある曖昧で美しいサウンドイメージ。

レーザー彫刻が施されたカートボードスリーヴ仕様、限定300部。





SOL OP is based on a collective composition for unconventional pipe organs made by the three Danish composers and musicians Jonas Olesen, Anders Lauge Meldgaard and Sandra Boss. On three mobile, midified and modified pipe organs,the trio has constructed a musical universe inhabited by animals, humans and machines.

SOL OP is based upon an exploration of the organs' more alternative sonic features. Incorporating the full instrument in the compositions – including the airblower system and the mechanical artefacts of the organ – new rhythmic features appear. Furthermore, MIDI-control and alternative playing techniques have been used in combination in order to present surprising timbres and tonal structures.

With this collective composition, the trio's goal has been to explore an iconic instrument, such as the organ, within a new and free frame. As the organs are small and mobile, they have been detached from the church room, and thereby also from their traditional cultural connotations, which has created a new creative space for composition.

The record is released in a limited edition of 300 copies with laser-engraved cardboard cover and a yellow inner sleeve.
