Label: Farpoint Recordings
2023年9月に惜しくも他界した、米サウンドアートの重鎮Steve Rodenの数少ないカセットフォーマット作!!アイルランドのレーベルFarpoint Recordingsが制作したタイトルであり、制作過程は不明なものの単なるサウンドアート路線とは違った位置にある、氏のパーソナルな感覚を凝縮した両サイド約25分に渡る至極単調なローファイ・ループ作品。Jカードは小さく折り込まれた大判のインサート仕様。
pcahuilcsaigmon is the new cassette release from innovative US based sound and visual artist Steve Roden and the second instalment in our new series of cassette tape editions.
Farpoint Recordings are pleased to present this latest audio work from Steve Roden containing two new long tracks presented on compact audio cassette.
Featuring a vibrant blue cassette shell, each wrapped with full colour fold-out artwork with a front image by Steve Roden all housed in a clear plastic box. On the inside face of the cover artwork the artist contributes a short text relating to the audio -
“so i slide over to the object. and i say, “you... hey you... you object. you are everything.” i remember seeing. a lot in an auction. consisting of small pieces. of rotted wood. and rusted nails. these objects. seemed to have. lost their usefulness. but they were. pieces of george washington’s coffin. so history plays a part. in determining. an object’s resonance. like a talisman. whatever is imbued. remains in the object. and gives it power. transformation and alchemy. are part of any leap. of faith.” (excerpt, by Steve Roden)
