Label: Another Timbre

超静謐な路線を突き進むドイツEdition Wandelweiser Recordsから2019年にデビューしたテキサスの若き作曲家Kory Reeder。そしてここAnother Timbreから2022年に発表した前作[Codex Vivere]はかなりの人気を獲得し即廃盤、本作はそこから3年越しに発表された待望の新作[Homestead]。2つのバイオリン、チェロ、ビオラによるカルテット編成のApartment Houseが演奏を担当、前作を受け継ぐ流麗なスタイルに故郷の美しい風景のイメージを落とし込んだフォルクローレ調室内楽。



"The idea for Homestead came in 2023 during my time as Artist in Residence at Homestead National Historical Park in Beatrice, Nebraska, in whose archives I found the materials referenced in the titles of the movements, as well as the images on this album. As a fifth-generation Nebraskan, growing up on the native lands of the Chatiks si chatiks people (Pawnee), this project is a part of my process of learning, listening, and developing a relationship with the land and its stewards in my home state: a beautiful place with a rich history that is as much a part of me as it is part of the settler-colonial project of displacement and genocide through the Homestead Acts". Kory Reeder, March 2025
