ALVIN CURRAN / CANTI E VEDUTE DEL GIARDINO MAGNETICO (SUPERIOR VIADUCT盤LP)
1966年に即興音楽家集団MEV（Musica Elettronica Viva）をフレデリック・ジェフスキー、リチャード・タイテルバウムらと共に結成したアメリカの作曲家／パフォーマー／即興演奏家／サウンド・アーティスト作家であるアルヴィン・カランが、テリー・ライリー、ラ・モンテ・ヤング、シャルルマーニュ・パレスタイン、シモーネ・フォルティの作品に触発され、風、高圧線、海岸の波等のフィールドレコーディングと、シンセサイザー、ガラスや金属のチャイム、プラスチックチューブ、ブラス、ヴォイス等の祈りのような原始的な演奏を融合させた、1975年に伊Anandaよりリリースしたインナートリップ名作!!! こちらは、2018年に米SUPERIOR VIADUCTよりリイシューされたアナログLP盤！ American composer and multi-instrumentalist Alvin Curran has remained one of the great emblems of experimental music for the last half-century. In 1966, along with Frederic Rzewski and Richard Teitelbaum, Curran co-founded Musica Elettronica Viva, a seminal gesture in collective free improvisation. In the early '70s, his solo work would become a crucial bridge between minimalist traditions on both sides of the Atlantic. Canti E Vedute Del Giardino Magnetico, Curran's solo debut, was recorded by the artist himself and issued on Ananda, the small Italian imprint started by Curran and fellow composers Giacinto Scelsi and Roberto Laneri. The piece itself was put together in the winter of 1973 and presented for the first time at Teatro Beat 72 (Rome's The Kitchen). Encouraged by the work of Terry Riley, La Monte Young, Charlemagne Palestine and Simone Forti, Curran binds the listener to aberrant notions of place and time: blending field recordings (wind, high-tension wires, beach waves, etc.) with simple and often primitive instruments. Across two sidelong tracks, Giardino Magnetico forms a lyrical collage of synthesizer, glass and metal chimes, plastic tubes, brass and the composer's alluring voice – converging in an immersive realm of Curran's inner / outer experiences. This first-time vinyl reissue is recommended for fans of Harry Bertoia, Michel Redolfi and Lino Capra Vaccina. （SUPERIOR VIADUCT） Format：LP Label：SUPERIOR VIADUCT (US)
