コンセプトから音の内容まで激推しの一作!!録音のみならずサウンド・インスタレーションまでを展開する、イタリアのRenato GriecoとオーストラリアのMP Hopkinsによる共同プロジェクトDouble Goocher Shop。本作は「1940年代初頭に電波干渉領域に囚われてしまった数名の人々と、短波ラジオの研究中に偶然にも交信をしたサウンドを記録....」という設定で制作された架空イメージの面白物件であり、その完成度が非常に素晴らしい。磁場より聞こえてくる得体の知れないゴーストサウンドが現れては消えゆく、めまぐるしいコンクレート/コラージュ的な構造が圧巻。







The early 1940s. Several people from different places who do not know each other disappear. They have somehow become trapped in a radio interference field. Since then, the inhabitants of this interference space have had to adapt their social behavior, re-evaluate their ethics, find a way to live despite disembodiment. Cultural practices have changed within the magnetic field, including those of burial and commemoration of the dead. During shortwave radio research, Double Goocher Shop inadvertently recorded EVP interactions with these inhabitants. The stereophonic artifact the duo has produced explores, from their perspective, an anthropological hoax about the metaphysical properties of spheres, rotating voltages, static electromagnetism and the hunt for ghost voices.

Double Goocher Shop is Renato Grieco and Moss Hopkins.
