Label: Black Sweat Records

80年代の発掘音源が初音盤化!!多くの説明は不要、Futuro AnticoやAktualaのユニット活動、また何万年前もの音具及び楽器のリアライズ録音で知られるイタリアの奇才Walter Maioli。氏も参加した86年超名作[Ethnoelectronics]の参加メンバーであり電子音楽家John Zandijkと共に制作した、わずか3晩で仕上げたサイケデリック大作物件[Star Rover]。録音は午前3時過ぎ、互いの精神エネルギーがピークに達する時間帯に実行、即興的なアプローチを通して古代の情景や熱帯雨林のイメージを様々な要素で表現〜仕上げた凄まじい密度の音響体験。







The visionary Walter Maioli (Futuro Antico, Aktuala) and the eccentric electronic musician John Zandijik first met in 1984 when they both gravitated toward the experimental Sound Reporters collective, participating in the release of Ethnoelectronics (1986). Shortly afterward, the two met at Zandijik's studio in Rotterdam, where they completed their journey of exploration to the edge of the Universe in just three nights. The recordings were made only after 3 a.m., when psychic energy is at its peak, and inspiration belongs solely to the realm of dreams. It was a ritual of long galactic fluctuation, where the mystical sound of the flute was filtered and expanded by the Aureal system, a device capable of breaking it down into cascades of aureal harmonies. Through its extemporaneous approach, the music transforms perceptions of ancient pyramids or tropical forests into phosphorescent nebulae, luminous fountain openings, and unprecedented planetary interstices—interstellar portals leading to new archetypal-ancestral visions. It feels like sailing through colored orbits in the red gases of Jupiter and Mars, lost and dissolved forever in the engines and gears of the most secret cosmos. Between Pink Floyd-esque psychedelic flashes and Tangerine Dream-inspired sidereal architectures, Maioli and Zandijik reveal the most phantasmagoric and unknown side of Sound Reporters.
