Label: Black Sweat Records

イタリアのBuscemi Recordが1985年にリリース、ドラマーであるTiziano Tononiが、Jonathan D. Scully、Pierre Favreと共に作り上げたカルト・シャーマニズム名作[Moon On The Water]。本作はジャケットデザインを一新したBlack Sweat Recordsによるリイシュー版。現代音楽、ミニマリズム、儀式、自然現象、それらがプリミティブなリズムと深いリラクゼーションで表現された見事な内容であり、音の鳴りも純粋に美しい。間違い無くどっぷりと浸れる一枚です。大推薦。





A mysterious sound aurora on the magical paths of the infinite universe of percussion, originally released in 1985 and then almost completley lost. The well-educated drummer Tiziano Tononi, together with David Searcy and Jonathan Scully, while working at the temple of classical music, Il Teatro alla Scala of Milano decides to realize a personal compendium of sounds using only purcussion instruments. The recording offers to us an amazing concert of sounds with acoustic purity, in perfect balance between wild rhythm and deep relaxation. Ecstatic elements of Japan ambient minimalism dialogue with contemporary musical solutions (Varese, Ligeti), in the stream of a harmonious fusion of ancient and modern. It’s a propitiatory ceremony of supernatural happenings that open portals of blissfulness, tribal and shamanic darkness, and,timeless jungles. Between amazon fires and African safaris, we float in the Asian rivers of meditation, lost in water games, echoes of caves and rocks in the night, synergies of frogs, birds, snakes, marimbas, chimes, gongs, and wooden drums.
