Label: Pogus Productions

当店レーベルからもソロ音源を出版している、70年代後半より活動する金沢の島田英明氏によるソロプロジェクトAgencementの2026年音源!!タイトルからも分かる通り、オーケストラ的なアプローチを取り入れ制作した米老舗Pogus Productionsからの音源であり、主宰者のAl Margolisが管楽器で参加、その他は全て島田氏がバイオリン、ビオラ、チェロ、エレクトロニクスを担当しミックスしたとの事。今後の続編も期待したい非常にクールな内容です。アートワークは本人によるもの。





"This work begins with an echo that feels like a return to my first LP. It's a very slight similarity from the late 1980s when I first started making independent records. Of course, that wasn't the main focus. This time, I used an orchestral approach, incorporating violas and cellos, changing frequencies, and even having Al handle the wind/brass instruments. My "Agencement" projects usually took nearly a year from recording to mixing, but this time I completed it in the winter of 2025/2026. This new orchestral approach will likely continue intermittently, evolving in form in the future. Listen.” - Hideaki Shimada, Spring 2026

All music composed and played by Hideaki Shimada - violin, viola, cello and electronics, except clarinet on 1 and trumpet on 2 by Al Margolis
