今日は日曜、なのだけど、昨日から働き続けている。書きモノが終わらない。その間、先日届いたこのアルバムを何回聴いただろうか。
Manafon Variationsとある。Manafonはディレク・ベイリーらとのBlemishに続くアルバムで、やはりエヴァン・パーカー、キース・ロウ、中村としまる、大友良英など、improvised musicの奏者との共作。
しかしこれはvariationの域を出て、もう別のアルバム。音の密度が全く違う。Manafonは疎なimprovised musicの音の間隙を縫ってシルヴィアンのヴォイスが流れる、そんな印象。このアルバムは前作の音の隙間に弦の音や様々な音を詰め込み、密度が高い空間になっている。しかし全く煩くなくて、組成が違う物質の共鳴を調べている、そんな感じで、どっちも好きだな。
モダン・アートの壁紙のように、improvised musicの音を音響素材と使う「こんな感じ」は面白い。improvised musicで、音と音の繋がりを見失って何だか呆けてしまったとき、こんなアルバムの記憶が補助線となって、新たな諒解性が生じる、そんなような気がするな。
