Label: Recollection GRM

仏Sonorisより6枚組アーカイヴCDボックスも出版されている、ピエール・アンリ、ベルナール・パルメジャーニら自国の巨匠の影響下にありつつも独自の世界を作り続けてきたフランスの作曲家リオネル・マルケッティ。1993~95年に掛けてINA-GRMスタジオで作曲された[La grande vall​éee]と、1989~90年に作曲された[Micro-Climat]を纏めたヴァイナル編集版。定期的に山脈や高原を訪れていたという時期の録音であり、クリアなフィールドレコーディングを多用、それをベースに清涼感がありながらも仄暗い音風景コンクレート作り上げています。





"I wonder if my fascination for clouds (without being an obsession) may have risen at the end of the '80s as, whilst composing 'Micro-climat', I would regularly wander between the Vercors mountains and the high plateaus of the Monts du Forez discovering, through my eyes, body, breath, active observation and walk, that natural forms when constantly changing and yet swollen with a unity of matter (in this instance, water) open one up to a deep, fundamental breath and a clear field for the mind. The sky and its forces: our ally. A model for a natural music which, although fixed, as in musique concrète (a rule of the genre), moreover on a recording tape, will remain charged with such a poetic quality that (isn't it its role or rather its reality?) it will ensure a perpetual renewal for our senses, to reach another idea of the world, far more open and richer than what we could have imagined." --Lionel Marchetti, 2011.

"Lionel Marchetti is a major figure of the 'third generation' of concrète musicians, a term he values. Listening to these works, imbued with poetry and traversed by micro-narratives, one can indeed retrieve the original concrète spirit, the one that draws from the sonic world, with ears wide open, so as to extract a fertile, rich and multiple substance then shaped and conveyed towards a formal and musical abstraction. Lionel Marchetti has mastered this process, but his real distinctive feature is a truly unique talent for setting climates (as one sets traps) and keeping us on constant alert. The two pieces in this record perfectly illustrate the entrancing dimension of Lionel Marchetti's music, whose charm leads us, through each successive listening, to become voluntary captives so as to better liberate ourselves." --François Bonnet, Paris, 2020.
