Label: Another Timbre - at164

若きベルギーの女性作曲家Maya Verlaakが、Apartment Houseアンサンブル、ソリストのSarah Saviet(ヴァイオリン)、Mark Knoop(ピアノ)と共に作り上げた英Another Timbreからの5曲入り1stアルバム。Apartment Houseはアンプリファイ・オルゴールやエレクトロニクスも登場する少し挑戦的な？編成となっており、その違和感が程良く歪んだ美しさとして現れた3曲を、そしてSarah Saviet、Mark Knoopは(恐らく)自身の声を重ねた不思議な浮遊感が続く静謐なソロを披露。Another Timbre2020年末の最後のバッチの中で最も深い美しさを体感出来る一枚です。





Five pieces by the radical young Belgian composer, Maya Verlaak, performed by Apartment House, and the soloists Sarah Saviet (violin) and Mark Knoop (piano)
"Subversion has destructive connotations. However, subversion can also mean reversing a current standard: being subversive can be anything that challenges an existing system. My approach to subversion doesn’t destroy current standards, but it uses the standards to create, while developing solutions to its own characteristics and problems (with a hint of humour)."
