2026年の重要アーカイヴ作、マスタリングはジム・オルーク氏が担当!!ベテラン作家の6CD集成が登場!!1970年生まれ、シカゴを拠点に90年代から優れた音響及びノイズ作品の出版を続けて来た重鎮作家Kevin Drumm。2016年に同Sonorisが同じく6CDボックス仕様のアーカイヴ[Elapsed Time]を発表していますが、本作はそこから10年越しの登場となるアーカイヴ第二弾[The Mild Temper]。音の緩やかな変容、微細な音響現象、周波数ベースで構築された様々な楽曲群を幅広く網羅、6枚のディスクを通して極めて緻密な音響環境への没入を約束する傑作集成。





or more than thirty years, Kevin Drumm has developed a unique sonic language situated at the intersection of drone, electronics, improvisation and sound abstraction. Continuously evolving, his work has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary experimental music.

Comprising more than six hours of music, The Mild Temper presents an extensive collection of pieces built from gradual transformations, micro-acoustic events and frequency-based structures characteristic of Drumm's practice. Across six discs, the music explores varying states of density, resonance and spatiality, reflecting a sustained interest in the physical properties of sound and their perception over extended durations.

The title, The Mild Temper, suggests a quiet force rather than an overt gesture. Sonic materials often appear restrained, held in a delicate balance between stasis and motion. Small shifts gradually alter the acoustic landscape as layers of frequencies emerge, recede and recombine throughout the listening experience.

Avoiding narrative and dramatic development, these works offer immersion in highly detailed sonic environments where every element contributes to the construction of a deeply absorbing listening space. Attention to texture, depth and duration forms the connective thread throughout the collection.

With The Mild Temper, Kevin Drumm continues his exploration of sound as an autonomous phenomenon, presenting a body of work of remarkable coherence that reflects both the singularity and maturity of his artistic practice.
