Label: kuyin

スウェーデンより興味深いサウンドアート/即興録音を発信するレーベル"苦吟/kuyin"のタイトル!!当店お馴染みのコンテンポラリー系レーベルAnother Timbreから2つのアルバムを発表、ヴァンデルヴァイザー楽派の強者アンサンブルOrdinary Affectsに所属しながら、それぞれソロでも素晴らしい活動を展開しているMorgan Evans-WeilerとJ.P.A. Falzoneのコンビ。ヴァイオリンとエレクトロニクス、クォーター・トーンずらして調律された2台のピアノを使用、明瞭と曖昧、また叙情的旋律と和声の間を行き来する、このデュオらしい美しい表現が続きます。







Grid and Gradient presents a six-movement realization of Morgan Evans-Weiler’s open-score work, performed by the composer on violin and electronics with J. P. A. Falzone on celeste and two pianos tuned a quarter-tone apart.
The music moves between clarity and obscurity, lyric line and harmonic haze. Rather than advancing in a fixed direction, its lines drift, return, and subtly reconfigure, opening a world at once lucid and hidden—precise and unstable. The duo treats the score as a visual field for collaborative navigation, allowing the performers to find, follow, and lose one another through a space that remains structured, searching, and continuously in flux.
Its microtonal language is heard less as a fixed tuning system than as a fluid field of shadings and neutral intervals: the quarter-tone displacement of the pianos expands the pitch space, while the violin moves through it as a continuum. Small cells and brief chordal sequences become sites of continuous variation, as the duo traces a landscape of fragile alignments, subtle pitch inflections, and shifting relational focus.
