Label: Black Sweat Records

当店大推薦のギタリストMaurizio Abateとデュオユニットを組み、自国イタリアのHolidays RecordsやBoring Machinesから音源を発表、そしてこの変名Everest Magmaではフォークや民族音楽を解体した変則コンクレート/音響/アンビエントを展開する奇才Rella The Woodcutter。現在も精力的なリリースを続けるBlack Sweat RecordsとMaple Death Recordsが共同で出版した最新作[Alto // Piano]。ピュアなアシッドフォークからフォルクローレな路線、エグいラジオコラージュ、カサコソ物音&フィールドレコーディング、様々なビジョンが複雑に絡み合い奇妙なアンビエンスとなって漂う凄い世界観の全9曲。面白いです。









Everest Magma rediscovers the folk roots of his dreamy alter ego Woodcutter. Once again he appears as a minstrel crossing moonstruck woods inhabited by gnomes, butterflies and crawling creatures. Nature is sublimated into a personal alien vision in which a lysergic approach triumphs in the arrangement of sound material and immersive musique concrète. Pure acid-folk fingerpicking communicates directly with the forest’s humus, steeped in wild and ethereal moods. Between schizoid or more lyrical moments, a persistent taste for subtle subterranean noises, electric flashes, radio and ufological interferences, deviant scents and psychological drifts permeates the flow. The abstracting structure of voices and singing expresses the cyclical beingness of living, a decontextualizing dimension of space and time. It's the pantheistic feeling of a parallel naturalistic universe, which also takes cues from the psychedelic eccentricity of Claudio Rocchi’s ‘Suoni di Frontiera’, the Incredible String Band or Holy Modal Rounders.
