Celer / Two Days and One Night
非常に多作なアンビエント作家、日本在住のアメリカ人音楽家CelerことWill Long(ウィル・ロング)が米シカゴの新興レーベルSequelよりアルバムをリリース。1984年、ウィルの大おじさんが北アフリカのチュニジア・ハマメットの沖の海で溺死した。ウィルは2015年に大おじさんの足跡を実際にチュニスからハマメットへと辿り、一部はフィクション、一部は現実として、31年前に彼の大おじさんが体験したであろうことを想像し、またウィル自身の旅のドキュメントとして本作を制作。現地のフィールドレコーディングとシンフォニックなアンビエント・ドローンが交差する非常にシネマティックで美しい作品。 In 1984, my great uncle drowned in the sea off the coast of Hammamet, Tunisia. He was 80 years old. He arrived in Tunis from his home in New York City, staying one night in the Hotel Amilcar, from where he sent a blank postcard back to his family home in Mississippi. The next day he traveled to Hammamet, where he rented a hotel room, bought swimming trunks, and by the afternoon had drowned in the ocean. In 2015, I retraced his steps from Tunis to Hammamet. Set part in fiction and part in reality, Two Days and One Night is both a document of my own experience and a re-imagining of what my great uncle might have heard and experienced 31 years before. It's a shame he didn't see the burnt orange sunset swirling over the horizon as I did on my departing flight at the end of the second day, but then again, maybe he did. (Will Long) 1.
