POL MALO / RIGHT INTO THE SUN
かつて渋谷にあったギャラリースペース兼レコードショップであり、レーベルでもある「茶柱（cha-bashira）」を運営するアーティストのポル・マロが、Orange Head名義で1999年に茶柱からCD-Rでリリースしていた「RIGHT INTO THE SUN」がリマスタリングされ、米NYのレーベルSTERN RECORDSから新装アートワークジャケットの2枚組アナログLPで2026年リイシュー!!! 熱で溶けたり反ったりしてダメージを受けたレコードを複数のポータブルレコードプレーヤーを用いて再生してライブ録音された実験的な作品です。渋谷ファイヤー通りにあった頃のUPLINK FACTORYにてのライブ録音を含む、オーバーダブやサンプリング無しのコラージュサウンド！ （山辺） ビニールテープが盤面に無造作に貼られていたり、反り返っていたり、Orange Headことポル・マロー氏のレコードはかなり痛い。が、この偏執狂的ループ・ミュージックはそんな見捨てられたレコードとターンテーブルからつくりだされた。熱にうなされるときに見る夢を音にしてしまったような奇妙なサウンドコラージュ。 （置石） Stern Records is proud to announce the first-time reissue of self perpetuating plunderphonic classic, Right Into The Sun by Pol Maló. Originally released on CD-R in 1999 by Cha-Bashira Records Tokyo under the alias "Orange Head," this new 2xLP edition features fully remastered audio and new cover art by Pol. This release also includes a special risograph print edition of the original artwork. Recorded using 3-6 portable record players, plus one MD player on tracks 2 and 4. All records used were melted, warped or broken by briefly placing them on a gas heater. The records were randomly altered this way to allow the styluses to find and stay in their own loops themselves on the wavy record surfaces. No samplers or editing - live aleatoric playback recordings only. Raw, cacophonous kinetic sound! Pol's thoughts on the making of the album: "Difficult to say what it was that made me interested in making music or actually audio art. In comparison, making visual art had always been there for me. But meeting several now generally known musicians as a student certainly left a very deep impact on me. While doing a DIY label and later kind of music store too, I became fascinated in accidental music, experimental sounds and all kinds of improvisations and bricolages. I think I wanted to try to make sound pieces from scratch, with the bare minimum and resulting in a way in found music. Rhythm and repetition seemed to go well with random audio coming from broken things. This way, I thought, I could create new meaning out of something existing by letting it come apart and back together again anew almost by itself. The album "Right into the Sun", I feel, can be listened to and read on various levels and I hope playback of it in all kinds of environments now will add to the original "spark" of it." （STERN RECORDS） ▼Track List Side A 1.
