PHILL NIBLOCK / nothin to look at just a record (SUPERIOR VIADUCT盤LP)
Phill Niblock（フィル・ニブロック）が1982年にIndia Navigationからオリジナル・リリースした、トロンボーンの多重録音による修行系ハードコア（絶倫？シャーマニック？）ドローーーンの名盤が、ナイスな再発を手掛けるSUPERIOR VIADUCTからアナログLP盤で再発!!! 強靭でピュアな音と真っ向から向き合いたいリスナーはマストかと！ Phill Niblock has pushed the boundaries of sound and visual art for over 40 years. While dutifully producing experimental films and curating multi-media loft performances in New York's 1960s avant-garde circles, Niblock developed a composition technique informed by American minimalists such as Tony Conrad and La Monte Young. His music consists of long instrumental tones, closely pitched together to create beat patterns and multi-tracked into dense layers. Nothin To Look At Just A Record, originally released on esteemed 20th century / jazz label India Navigation in 1982, is Niblock's recording debut and often cited as his masterpiece. "A Trombone Piece," the first of two side-long tracks, was recorded by Richard Lainhart and Richard Kelly (both music innovators in their own right) at SUNY Albany in the mid-'70s. Breathing pauses from instrumentalist James Fulkerson's trombone were spliced out to unravel the drones spatially, rather than according to metered rhythm. The overall effect is mesmerizing and beautifully envelops the listener with each tonal subtlety. （SUPERIOR VIADUCT） Side A 1. A Trombone Piece Side B 1.
