素晴らしい内容の長編!!1964年ポルトガル出身、1998年から現代アートの独立集団である22aのメンバーとして活動、当店では過去にサウンドアート及びサウンドポエトリー的アプローチの音源を紹介しているベテランAlfredo Costa Monteiro。2012年に偶然行なったという壊れたピアノを使用した録音。その非常に限られた音域しか持たない性質を利用して作り上げた、新たなアプローチのミニマル録音作。薄らと漂うオルガンドローンに「ガタッ...」「ゴトッ...」とランダムに投下される怪しい物体音が最高にスリリング。38分1曲という構造も素晴らしい。

Suspension pour une perte was created with a gap in time. A first recording of a broken piano was made by chance in 2012. This recording was forgotten for a long time, as its nature was that of a very limited sonic range. But as a premise in my work, limitations are always potential motivations to work with; so I decided to reevaluate it 10 years after, hoping that a new approach of the same recording would offer a quite different perspective.

Sustained and continuous organ sounds would be the connection between sparse events, creating a more dense background and giving these events a structure on which to arrange the whole piece. The time gap is not only a condition for change, but also a metaphoric abolition of the distance between past and present, anchoring the piece in an ontological Here and Now." - Alfredo Costa Monteiro
