フィールドレコーディング好きはお見逃しなく!!当店では過去に音源を幾つか紹介している、非常に繊細な音作りを行うフランスのサウンドアーティストThomas Tilly。氏の活動の中で最も大規模なプロジェクトとなる、フランス領ギアナにある科学研究所周辺の熱帯雨林のフィールドレコーディングを纏めた2LP + CDフォーマットという凄いボリュームの作品。現地に30日間滞在、主に動物のコミュニケーションを中心とした音環境を収集、編集を加えていないありのままのものと、別時間帯の録音をミックスした編集音源全11トラックを2LPに、そしてCDにはそれらとは別の60分間のノンストップ録音を(これが非常にヤバイ!!)収録。ゲートフォールド仕様の重厚ジャケットの作りも素晴らしい。











— Approaching the forest as if were a city, a construct, an ensemble of strata and vertical heights where signals answer, contrast and ignore each other.Variations occur, fullness and emptiness are created according to the weather and the peak and off-preak hours. This density that language can't define presents a challenge for the ear, and from this density surfaces, frm time to time, certain analogies to a modern sound environment.
Cultural leads fraw our experience of these natural acoustic phenomenin towards the domain of technology : "it sounds like... it's like..."

The timbres ? The sound structures ? There exists something in a tropical forest that sounds like and plays within the realms of electronics, music and electronics noise ; something characteristic of an era long before the birth of biotopes that form this forest and create this sound.
Script geometry comes from this idea and the desire to work with density, in an attempt to extract forms that characterize these analogies. Taking these sounds out of their context and rearranging them as we would patch cables on a synthesizer ; weaving these strata and vertica heights into a different pattern by using the signals from the forest as if they were synthetic sounds : dissecting this spectrum and looking for something that can only be revealed through listening, this is the essence of the project —
