凄まじい強度のミニマルドローン!!フィルムメーカー、写真家として10年間活動した後、60年代後半よりロングフォームのアコースティック・ドローンの作曲を開始、2024年1月に惜しくも他界したNYアヴァン界の大家Phill Niblock。氏が生前、ジョン・ケージの楽曲などをやったりしている女性シンガーAnna Clementi、ドイツのミュージシャンThomas Sternの為に書いた[Zound Delta 2]が遂に音源化!!まさに通好みな漆黒且つ無骨なイメージを突き通すハードな仕上がりで、Anna Clementiの声が多層的にズブズブと放射される濃ゆい40分間。





A new piece by minimalist / experimental composer Phill Niblock (1933 - 2024), co-composed and performed by Anna Clementi & Thomas Stern. Intense, menacing layers of thick drones and alien sounds.
In summer 2022, within just a few weeks and by pure coincidence, 2 proposals regarding Phill Niblock albums arrived: one suggesting an overdue vinyl reissue of a CD release (more on that when the time has come for it), the other email was from Anna Clementi saying she and Thomas Stern were working on new pieces that Phill Niblock has written for her … when "Zound Delta 2" was complete, Phill sent photographs for the two artworks, we met twice to discuss details, but unfortunately he died unexpectedly early january this year so the album now is, sad as it is, a posthumous release … an intense goodbye from one of 20thcentury most iconic composers.
