will long / LONG TRAX
Celer名義でアンビエント作品をリリースしてきたアメリカ人アーティストWill Longが、Terre Thaemlitz(テーリ・テムリッツ)主宰のcomatonse recordingsより初の本名名義でディープ・ハウス作品2枚組CDをリリース!!! 淡々としたドラムマシーンのリズムに淡い電子音が舞う、飽きのこない滋味深いハウス。Disc 2には、DJ Sprinkles a.k.a. Terre Thaemlitzがオーヴァーダブを追加したヴァージョンを丸々収録。カスタムパッケージには、Tsuji Aikoによるイラストが新聞紙に印刷されたポスターが付属。 We live in an era when 'change' is a soundbite to sell more of the same old ideas, and 'revolution' has more to do with social trends than social transformation. Will Long's deep house debut on Comatonse Recordings examines that pack of lies dubbed 'change' from the sweaty dancefloor, sounding the aftermath of failure around attempts at equality in 'progressive' societies. Made with a simple setup of rhythm composer percussion, polyphonic synth chords, and rack sampler vocals, these tracks have a minimal rawness that contends we've been wrong the whole time about how far the US – and the world – has come. Although these tracks are sonically unlike anything Long has produced as Celer or his other aliases for minimal and ambient experimental audio, they share a stripped-yet-full sound that reacts against overproduction – within the dance music industry, and societies at large. Each track is accompanied by an overdub from DJ Sprinkles, and the packaging features illustrations by Tsuji Aiko. (comatonse recordings) disc 1 1. TIME HAS COME 10'00" 2. CHUMPS 12'18" 3.
