Label: Gruenrekorder

ドイツのフィールドレコーディング/サウンドアート・レーベルGruenrekorderによる注目のタイトル!!チリ・アウストラル大学で長年に渡り行われている湿地帯での生態録音調査。この活動にインスピレーションを得て制作された、チリのバルディビアとイギリスのロンドンにある2ヶ所の湿地帯にフォーカスしたV.A音源集。現地の環境音を使い各作家が独自に音源を創造する事を目的としたプロジェクトで、湿地帯の音に対する多様な視点をそれぞれが提示。Angus Carlyle以外は完全に未知の作家ばかり(研究者?)ですが、コンポーザー顔負けの秀逸な音の作り込みに驚かされます。2CD仕様。











This album is the result of a collaboration between composers and sound artists based in Valdivia, Chile, and London, UK. It was inspired by the long-running SoundLapse project at the Universidad Austral de Chile, where recordings of the wetlands around Valdivia were used within various ecological, educational, and creative projects. Composers and artists from both cities met to discuss the SoundLapse project, and discussed ways in which we might collaborate. Recordings were subsequently made in two locations – the Valdivian wetlands and at the London Wetland Centre (LWC). Those recordings were shared among the group, and we set about making a collection of works that responded to wetland environments. There was no limit on style or aesthetic, nor any ownership of any particular recording. Instead, everyone involved in the project was free to develop their own creative response to both the recordings and the wetlands. Together, these works offer myriad perspectives on the sounds of the wetlands, and – we hope – encourage reflection on our collective responsibility for their conservation and preservation.

We are very grateful to the London Wetlands Centre, specifically Ruth Thomas and Emily Wiltshire, who were both very generous with their time and enthusiasm. We are all very grateful to Rory Salter, who provided amazing support recording. This project was supported by Global Seed Funding and Social Purpose Funding, University of the Arts, London.
