IL GRANDE SILENZIO / IL GRANDE SILENZIO
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)自身のレーベルTwo Acornより2012年にリリースされた、日本の画家でもある小川敦夫と元WrK主宰の佐藤実(m/s, SASW)によるバンド“IL GRANDE SILENZIO”(Meeuw MuzakよりEPも出しています)による1stアルバム。異形のイタリア西部劇のタイトルから取られたグループ名が示すとおり、色褪せた世界を舞台にしたグレート・サイレンスを捉えようとする行為。 Within an extremely slow tempo, the raw sounds by banjo and self-built equipment by Il Grande Silenzio barely form a shape of music, like the soundtrack for silent characters in a monotone world. Il Grande Silenzio, the name taken from the title of a spaghetti western, is Minoru Sato and Atsuo Ogawa, both of which are working in the field of contemporary art. Minoru Sato plays the self-built instrument "RP3M". Atsuo Ogawa plays banjo, and provides voice. The music pieces of this first album were recorded between Autumn 2009 and Spring 2010. 'home' and 'OTO', made by an approach to improvisation, represents the original form of Il Grande Silenzio's free-style sessions. 'November' and "forest" were formed by repeating simple phrases for long durations. Inside the music is an ambiguous harmony, like a new form of extreme folk music. (Two Acorns) 1. Home 2. OTO 3.
