Label: Sublime Retreat

ケージ、フェラーリ、ラディーグといった巨匠勢からの強い影響下、現在まで100タイトル以上もの音源を凄まじい勢いで出版してきた即興演奏家/マルチインストゥルメンタリストBruno Duplant。2020年Verz Imprintからのカセット、2021年Grisailleからのカセットに続く[Paysages Sans Age]3部作シリーズの最終章は、ポーランドSublime RetreatよりCDフォーマットでリリース。この作家のアンビエントサイドと言うべき寒々しい叙情ピアノとシンセサイザーが続き、まさにジャケット通りのぼんやりとした冬の世界が広がりゆく印象。100部限定。





"paysages sans âge III" from Bruno Duplant has been included in individual writers’ lists of favorite records from the first half of 2021 of Dusted Magazine.

"So, what dates a landscape? In human perception, the passage of time is detected through evidence of change or decay, and on Paysages Sans Âge III, it’s the sounds themselves that decay. Hints of synthetic melody surface and then recoil, as though recognizing their own inevitable demise, and sustained tones fade to nothing like a horizon just after dusk. Fix your ear on a synthesizer or piano note, and you’ll find another sound behind that sound, and then another. Duplant also supplied the CD’s three cover images, each a blurred black and white image of trees in various states of wintry undress. Sight and sound converge to create an impression of a landscape that is, perhaps, ageless because aging is no longer an option. "
