自身の掘削作業の音を軸としたメチャクチャ素晴らしい一枚!!メタリック・ゴールド・プリントのジャケットも美しい!!哲学者及び芸術家としても活動するJonna Bornemarkがストックホルムで行ったパフォーマンス・レクチャーより生まれた作品[Hyperit]。本作はこのパフォーマンスで共演した音楽家Nev LilitことSiri Jennefeltによる音盤であり、まずはステージ上に芝生を植え、その下に土、砂、砂利、岩、雑草、水面を敷き詰め、徐々に穴を深く掘り進みながらマイクを取り付けた掘削道具でサウンドスケープを録音したというもの。"山の内部にいるような感覚を捉える"という趣旨のもと、自身の作曲作品、ボーカル、フィールドレコーディングを加え、地質学的エレクトロニックミュージックを制作。構造の美しさに圧倒されます。









33 rpm, regular black vinyl. Metallic gold printed pantone outer sleeve. High quality pressing. Polylined innersleeves.

Evolving from a performance lecture by philosopher and Jonna Bornemark at Orionteatern in Stockholm, ‘Hyperit’ (Swedish for a volcanic stone;
hypersthenite in English) is inspired by Jennefelt’s performances alongside Bornemark. Before each performance, Jennefelt would plant a lawn on stage, with dirt, sand, gravel, rocks, weeds, and a body of water placed underneath. During the performance, Jennefelt would dig a hole in this lawn, delving progressively deeper and recording soundscapes in the process, with microphones attached to her tools of excavation.

With ‘Hyperit’, Jennefelt expands these ideas into a distinct incarnation of experimental world building, reenvisioning the lecture composition project with new sounds, vocals and field recordings. Using the performance lecture as a springboard, she explores the interior geological matter on ‘Hyperit’, sculpting electronic music inspired by the terrain of meteorites, magma and the Earth’s innermost composition. In this Jennefelt aims to capture a sense of being ‘inside’ the eponymous volcanic stone, or, as it’s known in her native Swedish, of being ‘inside the mountain’.
