再プレス、凄まじい音楽性！！大大大推薦！！Eliane Radigue、Robert Ashley、Alvin Lucier、David Behrman、Meredith Monk、David Tudor等々、数え切れない程の名作を送り出した米エクスペリメンタル界の重要レーベルLovely Music。このレーベルに異色のアヴァン・カントリーロックを残した事で知られる米奇才コンポーザー"Blue" Gene Tyranny。特にRobert Ashleyの録音では多くのクレジットが確認出来る重要人物であり、2020年に他界するまで実に多くの作品に貢献。本作は1963年〜2019年までに録音された氏の音源を纏めた初の6枚組CDアーカイヴ。その活動形態通り、完全パーソナルな摩訶不思議音世界がバンバンと飛び出す予測不可能なカルト集成。

Recorded between 1963-2019, Degrees Of Freedom Found is a six CD set “Blue” Gene Tyranny hand selected from archival, live recordings, and brand new first recordings before his passing in 2020. Part new album, part retrospective, this box offers a fresh perspective on “Blue” Gene Tyranny’s musical legacy. Blue’s career defining moment, composing the music for Robert Ashley’s magnum opus, Perfect Lives, typifies the Buddha-like self-effacement of his musical life. Often lending a substantial supporting role to his friends’ more visible projects, Blue’s music under his own name blossomed in a more esoteric and highly personal manner outside of the spotlight. Across its many previously unreleased recordings, Degrees Of Freedom Found showcases a surprising, extroverted side of Blue’s music, alongside the virtuoso works of sensitive spirit for which New Music devotees have long revered him.
