Label: Creel Pone

カルト名作[The Wind Harp]に続きまたまたエオリアンハープ録音がCreel Poneラインナップに登場！！謎の人物(英国のサウンドアーティスト？)Robert Archerが1979年にプライベート出版していたと思われる超ミステリアス物件[Nature's Dream-Harp]。夏の風を利用したエオリアンハープの記録であり、鳥のさえずりやそよ風と共に現場の情景がそのままレコーディングされた絶妙過ぎるアンビエンス。ミニチュアの解説付き。



This was the 18th of the ca. 2003 "Proto Creel Pone" titles, reproducing British artist Robert Archer's Private-Press 1979 LP "Nature's Dream-Harp," as "played by the summer wind on Devaharp I." Along with the (domestic) "Songs from the Hill" set, this shows a differing interpretation & application of the Aeolian Harp spec, getting into some rather harsh & unsettling zones amidst the placid Oxfordshire ambiance (birdsong and a gentle breeze are audible throughout). Personally speaking, I prefer the overall modal tonalities here to SFTH, and this record in general was a HUGE influence on my during the creation of the "Playthroughs" systems, esp. the close intervallic harmonies.

This replica edition includes all of the detail evident in the original issue across a 6-panel Booklet, including the braille strip on the cover's top right corner (presented in close-up detail on the "Labels" panel) plus the two inserts (one a double-sided number in blue ink with hand-written corrections, the other typewritten & ditto'ed) that came with commercial copies. In addition, there are two extra inserts in the form of a handwritten letter (quill pen on blue paper) sent by Archer to a Mr. P Francia (postmarked 18-8-80) plus a more boiler-plate feeling press release for the whole project. Incredible detail & background on this incredible music!
