Label: goods outward

限定180部のみ作られた極上のDIYもの!!UKより未知の作家を送り出す新興エクスペリメンタル・レーベルGoods Outward。ここより2023年に出版された謎多き個人実験プロジェクトMIDDEXの3rd LP[In Second Floor and Third Floor Story]。過去に英Touchのカセット・サブレーベルThe Tapewormからも音源を出している作家で、通常はコールド及びミニマル・ウェーヴをやるらしいですが、本作ではサウンド・ポエトリー好きを唸らせるテキストを軸とした作風を披露。ホコリの様な感触の荒いノイズ、腐食シンセ、ベル、物音を使い玄人好みの抽象表現を展開しています。アウタースリーブはハンドスタンプによる装飾、インサートにナンバリング入り。

Follow the thread of shimmering bells, altering the air pressure. Up staircase. The denizens of this place, always just out of eye line. The Kleptomaniac, the Typical Male, the Wild Family. The Angels on a working breeze. The Been and the Gone. The Retching Birds. The Hyena up there. The Homophobic Neighbour. All leaving their impressions, heard but never seen.

The third floor offers us shelter, though it is howling outside. Door after hall, after chamber, after corridor. Each cell filtering, through its own resonance to pure tones. The only way is onward, following the thread. Keeping a count as best you can….
