Label: Shame File Music

大推薦の初期重要作!! 1950年シドニーで生まれ、15歳で環境音に興味を持ち独自のサウンドスケープ作品の制作を開始したオーストラリアの主要実験作家の一人であるRik Rue。Shame File Musicによる復刻最新作は1983年1st カセット作[A Raise Of An Eyebrow]。コレ以降に増えていく抽象イメージの環境音シリーズ以前に録音されたという事もあり、本作では明確な音ネタをでゴリゴリと反復させるローテクなループコラージュを展開しています。

On the original tape cover of "A Raise of an Eyebrow", Rik Rue dedicated this very early solo work to '...the many pleasures of low tech and the mighty pause button'. This 1983 release contains shorter, more succinct pieces, and arguably more sample-focussed, than his later more spacious and abstract work. This was at a point before Rue dived headlong into the possibilities of environmental recordings, exemplified on later released like "Murmers" (reissued as sham086). Rue commented on "A Raise of an Eyebrow" recently that in making these tracks, he used 'whatever I could get my hands on'. Over a quarter of a century later, "A Raise of an Eyebrow" offers an insight into the early solo work of one of Australia's most original sound innovators.
