Label: Other Minds

以前、米New World Recordsからの"アメリカン・ガムラン"音源を紹介したBrian Baumbusch!!作曲家兼創作楽器ビルダーのBrian Baumbuschと、老舗アンサンブルSan Francisco Contemporary Music Playersが取り組んだ極上のミニマル録音作。Conlon Nancarrowのリズム実験、インドネシアのガムラン音楽、ミニマリズムの要素を取り込みヘテロフォニー(複数の楽器が同じメロディーのバリエーションを同時に演奏する)を探求した面白物件であり、連動するリズム、安定したハーモニー、万華鏡のような楽器の色彩が美し過ぎる名演パターン集。









Other Minds is pleased to present Polytempo Music, a new recording by American composer Brian Baumbusch with the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players.

Polytempo Music draws influence from Indonesian gamelan music and minimalism, with their interlocking rhythms, stable harmonies, and kaleidoscopic instrumental colors. Conceptually, it also owes a debt to Conlon Nancarrow's rhythmic experiments. Building on those foundations, Baumbusch invites us to explore an advanced heterophony—multiple instruments playing variations of the same melody simultaneously.

Polytempo Music will be issued in three different formats concurrently: as a compact disc on Other Minds Records; as a virtual reality application for the Meta Quest headset; and as a mobile app for both Apple and Android users. The two apps will be issued on Baumbusch’s Holography label.
