The Residents、The Cryptic Corporationの創設メンバーであり、2017年までResidentsの主要な作曲家として活動したHardy Fox。変名Charles Bobuckとして大量の音源を残した人物ですが、本作は本名Hardy Fox名義で録音していた膨大なアーカイヴより選ばれた最新作[Ibbur]。自身のWebサイト及びニュースレターで発信し続けた連載小説[The Stone]のサントラとして制作したものであり、奇怪なリズムトラックで構成した幻想的なイメージが続きます。今後も様々なアーカイヴが発表される模様。

Hardy Fox used to be composer for The Residents. He left the group when he didn't feel fit enough for touring and when he turned 70. Since then, he has released many albums under the name Charles Bobuck, switching to his real name Hardy Fox when his albums became more personal. The first, self-titled and also known under the name Heart, is a study of the young Hardy Fox, an album about Love. The second, Nachtzug is about his last days touring with The Residents. It was followed up by a concept album about a Gorilla, Rilla contemplates Love. Hardy died in 2018 of a brain tumor. Since then, Klanggalerie keeps Hardy's music alive. We have a whole lot of archival music that will be released over the following years. Ibbur is soundtrack music connected with Hardy's serialized novella The Stone, published by himself on his website and through a newsletter. The Stone was a semi-autobiographical project that took a turn into the fantastical. An amazing read, it is still available through hardy fox.com.
