Label: Sub Rosa - SR409CD

フルクサス周辺としてもお馴染みチェコのアンタイ・レコードの大御所作家Milan Knizak。アナログ機器のみを用い自国のサウンドアーティストPhaerentzと共に披露した[Broken Music]2014年のパフォーマンスと、それをラップトップ5台に転送して行ったOpening Performance Orchestraによる[Re:Broken Music]を収録。カットアップにより拾い上げられる不定形且つゴリゴリの内容は言うまでもなくカッコイイのですが、驚くべきは45分のパート1、33分のパート2共に、その強靭放射を延々と続ける全く揺るぎない姿勢。これは名演です。





Milan Knizak + Opening Performance Orchestra revisiting Broken Music in Berlin, 2014.

'In 2008-9 we transferred the original recording from vinyl records into digital form. As we did so, we weren't interested in the precise, clean fidelity offered by the digital world, which fundamentally causes the fine structure of natural sound to be lost. Instead we were seeking the opposite: the world of errors and distortion, which remains hidden when digital audio is manipulated to be maximally accommodating for the listener. The transferred audio recording was digitally destroyed, shattered and uncompromisingly freed from all its original attributes. No melody, no rhythm, no harmony - this is fraction music'.
