ジャケットデザインから盤のカラーに至るまで全てが洗練されています....、大推薦!! デンマークはコペンハーゲンにて活動し、自主レーベルarbitraryより多くの音源を出版してきたMads Emil Nielsen。手書きのグラフィックスコアをもとに演奏するシリーズ"Framework"の第二弾が登場。今回はAnother Timbreからリリースもあるドイツの女性音楽家Andrea Neumannとの共演、そしてJan Jelinek、国内のサウンドアーティストHideki Umezawa 氏のソロバージョンを収録した10インチ二枚組。ストックホルムEMSでのシンセをコラージュしたもの、ピアノ内部演奏によるライブエレクトロニクス、そしてJan Jelinek、Umezawa 氏の独自の解釈によるソロ音源、全収録曲言うことなしの本気で秀逸な作品集です。ジャケット中央部に円形のダイカット、インナースリーヴはグラフィックスコア、ホワイト&クリアヴァイナルというメチャクチャカッコいい仕様です。









Danish musician/composer Mads Emil Nielsen continues his Framework series; a collection of open, hand-drawn graphic scores and recordings. The series includes Nielsen’s own subjective translations of the visual material and sound pieces accompanied by visual notations, and collaborations – in this case with Andrea Neumann, Jan Jelinek and Hideki Umezawa.

Framework 2 consists of printed scores and recordings, released on 2 x 10” vinyl + DL.
Circles (Disc1: side A) is a dense, 03:45 collage of synthesizer recordings made during a residency at EMS (Elektronmusikstudion), Stockholm. The first graphic score is an illustration in three parts, based on sketches and drawings made intuitively while listening during and after the recording process.
Framework Fragments (Disc1: side B) created in collaboration with Andrea Neumann is derived from live recordings made with electronics and inside piano, and is based on the second score. The piece was made by the two musicians improvising from the seven graphic score fragments, sequenced using individual timecodes and then edited by Nielsen into a more complex collage, following closely the structure of the original recording. Originally a 4-channel composition, Framework Fragments was presented as part of the two artists’ “Creepage Current” sound installation in Berlin, Copenhagen and Milan, 2018 & 2019.

Nielsen then invited two artists to interpret the notation & score – electronic musician Jan Jelinek and sound artist Hideki Umezawa. These recordings are included on Disc 2 (on transparent vinyl). Jelinek chose to focus on the second part of the Circles score – following its structure / timeline and translating the elements into three separated loops blending in and out, one after another, surrounded by additional sounds and random textures.
Umezawa interpreted the Framework Fragments score. Various recordings based on his improvisations made with the Serge synthesizer – once again during a residency at EMS (2019) – were organised to ensure the sound material correspond to each element / score fragment. Finally, the material was re-arranged in detail and edited into the 9 min. composition.
