重鎮がパイプオルガンの為に作曲した崇高な持続音作品!!メディアアートと作曲を並行して行なって来た、ニューヨーク・ミニマル・ミュージックの第二世代コンポーザーであるArnold Dreyblatt。アムステルダムにあるオルガンパークのメインホールに所蔵されている歴史的なオルガンの為に特別に作曲された[Descendants]。基音Cを基準とし、最初の11倍音とその拡張音から導き出された純正律"「Dreyblatt」調律システム"を用いて演奏されたもので、4台のオルガンが徐々に変化をし共鳴音でホールを満たした現場録音。幽玄な響きが捉えどころのない時間と空間の感覚を創出、極めて没入感の強いリスニング体験が出来ます。



Composed especially for the main hall of the Orgelpark in Amsterdam, with its historical organs, Descendants was realized in the just-intonation “Dreyblatt” tuning system, derived from the first eleven harmonic overtones and their extensions based on the fundamental C (A = 415 Hz). The following intervals, identified on the four organs and corresponding to my tuning system, were used in the composition: 1/1, 9/4, 3/2, 7/4, 11/16, 21/16, 25/16, 35/32, 63/32, 77/64, and 81/64. These pitches and their registers were organized into five sections and distributed across four different historical and contemporary pipe organs in the space, filling the hall with gradually shifting resonances.

"The composition offers a highly immersive listening experience with elusive sensibilities of time and space. The sustained, ethereal sounds of the four organs filled Orgelpark’s main hall with gradually changing resonances. Orgelpark sounded like a vivid, vulnerable entity, as if it were breathing with its own independent, almost static pulse. "
