重鎮が率いたトリオユニットの最高峰3CD音源!!未体験の方は是非!!ディープ・リスニングの提唱者であり、電子音楽家Morton Subotnick、Ramon Senderと共にサンフランシスコ・テープ音楽センターを立ち上げた米実験界の偉人Pauline Oliveros。氏が生前Doug Van Nort、Jonas Braaschと共に結成、ソプラノサックス、エレクトロニクス、アコーディオンによる即興的対話を主旨に活動したプロジェクトTriple Point。それぞれ演奏の相互作用によって生み出されたサウンドを記録したもので、演者の音をリアルタイムで取り込み変容させて新たなテクスチャーを生み出したり、或いは音を記録し遅れて再生したりと、ディープ・リスニングの実践もしっかりと取り入れた流動的なエレクトロ・アコースティック大作。















A 3-CD set of Electro/Acoustic Improvisations Featuring:
Pauline Oliveros - V-Accordion
Doug Van Nort - Granular-feedback Expanded Instrument System (GREIS), electronics
Jonas Braasch - Soprano Saxophone

Triple Point is an improvising trio whose core instrumentation is soprano saxophone, greis/electronics and V-accordion. The name refers to the point of equilibrium on a phase plot, which acts as metaphor for our improvisational dialogue. Their musical interaction is centered around an interplay between acoustics, physically-modeled acoustics (v-accordion) and electronics. Van Nort captures the sound of the other performers on-the-fly, either transforming these in the moment to create blended textures or new sonic gestures, or holding them for return in the near future. Oliveros changes between timbres and "bends" the intended factory sound models through her idiosyncratic use of the virtual instrument, while Braasch explores extended techniques including long circular-breathing tones and multiphonics. This mode of interaction has resulted in situations where acoustic/electronic sources are indistinguishable without very careful listening, while others times this becomes wildly apparent. This continual, fluid morphing is a product of Deep Listening and living in the moment.
