Label: After Action Review

今やマスタリングエンジニアとしても激人気となったイタリアの重要人物Giuseppe IelasiのSenufo Editionsに3タイトルを残すサウンドアーティストLuciano Maggiore、氏とNO PA ONを運営し面白コンセプトの共同録音を残し続けているLouie Riceによるコンビ作。もともとはロンドンのCafe OTOのイベントシリーズの一環として他アーティストのスコア演奏する為に結成されたユニットで、PAなしのアコースティック・パフォーマンスからバキバキのアンプリファイまでをやってのける実力派。本作はあるルールに従い物理的な行動を記録したという「部屋にいる2人が何かをしている」という曖昧なコンセプトによる生々しい空間録音。面白いテクスチャーです。

Louie Rice and Luciano Maggiore work together as NO PA ON, performing score based works - both acoustic (without a PA system) and amplified (with a PA system). The duo was originally conceived to perform works by other artists as part of an event series at Cafe OTO in London. This series acted as a research period that went on to inform the action-based pieces that Rice and Maggiore are now writing themselves. These pieces explore physical actions and vocalisations in response to pre defined prompts or rules, and could best be described as 'two people, in a room, doing something.'

Both their solo electro-acoustic practices and other collaboratiions have brought them each to appreciate auditory phasing, and expanding the spatialisation of sound beyond the stereo field. Together they aim to reach beyond the confines of electro-acoustic music; to develop a type of action that references conceptual and performance art, folk singing, dance choreography and minimalist composition, amongst other things...
