Label: Flag Day Recordings

00年代初期よりエレクトロアコースティック・プロジェクトとして活動、楽器ビルダーでもあるBryan Dayが自作の珍妙楽器を一人で操り演奏するユニットEloine。過去に当店で扱っていたFoxgloveやEh?、Chocolate Monkといったマイナーレーベルから多くの小作品を出版、本作は米Flag Day Recordingsより発表したボリュームも凄い2024年フルアルバム[Moldy Cushions]。過去にコラボレーションした音楽家より委嘱された創作楽器を使用、軽快ながらも怪しいパーカッシブな響きやら、だだっ広い空間で録られた金属摩擦、吹子で奏でられる極太ドローンまで、全く詳細が分からないながらも魅力的なサウンドで溢れています。

Moldy Cushions was recorded from the summer of 2022 until spring 2023 at my new Clamorworks studio in San Pablo, California. Additional parts were recorded in Brasília, Brazil while working on the SESILab science museum and in Hyderabad, India while on tour with Seeded Plain. This is my first solo album since 2016's Bizarre Flight on Gertrude Tapes, with most of the time in-between focused on other collaborative projects.

The pieces on Moldy Cushions started as improvised sketches, with many of the structural elements developing during editing. A few of the instruments on this album were commissioned pieces that are now in the hands of artists whom I collaborated with. The buzzing drones on Neoprene Concourse are from an instrument that I was given by João Fernando Arrais Serodio out of Leme, Brazil.

Thanks a bunch to Billy Pizarro for putting this out, Norman from Ypsmael for helping with editing these pieces, Eufrasio Prates for organizing the sessions and events in Brazil that resulted in parts of these recordings and Jay Kreimer for organizing and collaborating in India.
