Label: Trome Records

シンプル且つ硬派な持続音研究シリーズ第一弾!!過去にベルギーMorc Recordsからの音源を紹介、変名Karina ESPとしても活動を展開する、主にアコースティック楽器による至極ミニマムなドローン研究に勤しむLoweredことChris Gowers。エレクトロニクスの使用は一切無し、32インチのタムタム、シンギングボウル、フィールドレコーディングのみで作り上げた[Arche]シリーズ第1弾。木々が擦れ合うホワイトノイズの様なサウンドをバックに低音が響きそこから徐々に中音域へと移行、最終的には透明感のあるシンギングボウルへと変化する濃密な1トラック。



The first in a series of minimal drone studies of acoustic instruments.
This recording features 32" tam-tam, together with field recordings and singing bowls.
No artificial effects have been used.

Deep melancholic bass swells emerge from the white noise of the trees, which give way to blackened low-end rumbles, floating midrange drones, and fragile, crystalline singing bowls.
