Masami Akita & Eiko Ishibashi / Kouen Kyoudai 公園兄弟
MERZBOWこと秋田昌美と石橋英子によるエクスペリメンタルなコラボレーション・アルバム!!! A面はメルツバウの「13 Japanese Birds」シリーズやBALAZS PANDIらと試みられていたエレクトロニクス／ドローン＋ドラムス系の現在アップデート系。そして驚愕なのが、B面のピアノの音階が空間を舞うミュージックコンクレート系の異次元空間創造!!! これは、2016年体験しておくべき音像といえる！ レコーディングとミックスはジム・オルークが担当!!! DLコード付き。 Prolific Japanese artist Masami Akita, aka Merzbow here teams up with session musician, producer, and singer-songwriter Eiko Ishibashi for anew work which showcases yet another side to Akita’s monumental catalogue. Kouen Kyoudai 公園兄弟 consists of two side long tracks that could be read as a contemporary take on the traditional avant-garde. Skittering electronics, percussion, piano, doom and noise all feature as exponents in this epic release which seamlessly incorporates many strands of experimental thought and practice. The tension that arises from the human use of the tool is made explicit as these works unfold in a storm of ecstatic human/instrument/machine interaction. Drums hammer alongside an ecstatic drone. Notes on a piano jostle with a storm of splintered electronics. Kouen Kyoudai 公園兄弟 highlights the pull between beauty and chaos, structure and the abyss leaving behind a thrilling display of human and technological interplay whilst opening up new paths for both musicians involved. （Editions Mego） 1.
