Label: Notice Recordings - NTR016

2010年から程よいペースの出版を続けている、ここNotice RecordingsのオーナーにしてサウンドアーティストのEvan Lindorff-Ellery。このレーベルのタイトル郡の中で特別オススメしたいのが本作。口琴のみを用いその演奏をほぼ持続音へと加工、軽く聴いた感じではノイジーなドローンですがその内部で蠢くドロドロの塊はゾッとする程に高密度。限定100部、廃盤間近。



Two sets of music by Chik White, an alias of Darcy Spidle, whose Nova Scotia-based Divorce Records has been slinging LPs of sonic bemusement since 1999. Jaw Works is made up of solo jaw harp performances, wringing mesmerizing detail from variations in rhythm and tempo, while achieving a wide variety of barely believable, almost synthesized-sounding timbres. Behind A Dead Tree On The Shore also features the jaw harp, albeit in concert with the North Atlantic Ocean, which inspired the more minimal, rhythmic pieces performed on the shore. Organic and personal, this is folk music created by a single person in his environment, using the most basic of musical tools.
