"Music gives us the illusion that time is not time, but space. It is then that the music transforms from process to object, which I find a very interesting thought; a materialisation of the sound process. Sound is matter." - Noémi Büchi

Noémi Büchi’s debut album ‘Matter’ captures the tension between growth and decay, consonance and dissonance, mirroring Büchi’s own catharsis through music. Her most personal material to date, ‘Matter’ is an opus of refined, sculpted beauty, one that aims to blur the distinction between ephemerality and physicality. Inspired by late romantic classical music and early 20th century contemporary music, ‘Matter’ is driven by the compositional methodologies of Igor Stravinsky, Alexander Skrjabin, Gustav Mahler and György Ligeti to modern sound forms, adapting and expanding upon their ideas in an awe-inspiring exploration of cutting-edge potency and tactility.

Büchi structures the electronic works that constitute ‘Matter’ in movements, stratifying myriad instrumental parts like the constituent sections of an orchestra. During her work on the album, Büchi engaged in extensive research, obsessively studying specific chords and progressions, and searching for transcendent intonations with resonant properties; complexions of sound with the ability to connect with the listener’s body. Transforming our inner worlds into zones of suspension and levitation, Büchi exposes the listener to intoxicating slipstreams of sound. Prominent voices ascend, tectonic disturbances threaten the foundations, perception and sensation becomes subject to elemental countercurrents and inversions. ‘Matter’ illustrates the fraught pursuit of momentary equilibrium, and makes the fragility of euphoria tangible.

Delphine Dora - Dilatation

Pre-order: 12th January 2023
Release date: 20th January 2023
Format: CD, Digital

Everyday life is often filled with many small anxieties that we deal with by simply pretending they do not exist.
Sometimes they thicken beyond the horizon of our field of vision, turning into a sense of impending danger, a floating leviathan, an immense bird of prey hiding in the clouds above the skyscrapers ready to grab us. Our only defence is to try to ignore it, hoping that oblivion will slowly devour it, relegating it to another plane of existence.

And sometimes, it is simply like dreaming of suffocating...

****************************************

Nobody thinks it is strange anymore that an artist changes his nom de plume to reflect a new direction; a metamorphosis of his art. As listeners, we must resist the temptation to compare a new expression with previous works but instead, allow the artist the necessary leeway to follow where his muse leads. So it is with Lone Wolf & Friends. There is a departure from his previous work that is his alone to define. We are simply recipients and must let the work wash over us like waves on the beach and be slightly moulded by the force of each one.

By definition, a Lone Wolf has no friends so we are left with the nagging question of why the name has significance. Perhaps Lone Wolf’s friends are his previous artistic incarnations and although he alone created this work, those earlier versions were there to encourage his creative drive. We are never truly loners, are we?

近年では、アーティストが自身の作品の新たな方向性に合わせてアーティスト名を使い分けることが珍しいことではなくなりました。自身のアートの変容に伴い、名前をも変化させるのです。

わたしたちは、音楽を楽しむ立場として、アーティストの過去と現在の作品を比べるのではなく、彼らの新たな作品たちがどの方角へ向かうのかを共にたどるべきではないでしょうか。

ローンウルフ　アンド　フレンズ。一匹狼と仲間たち。彼のこれまでの一人きりでの創作から の変容と分裂。彼だけが定義できる新しい試み。

寄せては返す波がつくりあげた砂浜のように、わたしたちはその変化を受け入れていくのです。

群れることのない一匹狼。一匹狼には仲間はいないはず。なぜアーティストはあえて”一匹狼と仲間たち”と名乗ったのか。

それはもしかすると、その仲間たちは彼の過去の数ある作品そのもの、そしてその過去の作品 たちが揃って彼の創作意欲をかきたててきたのかもしれません。

真の一匹狼など、果たして存
在するのでしょうか？
