Loving this. Hints of something similar to Brian Eno's An Ending in the background behind that static noise. I would definitely play this on my show if I had a copy. :)

The thing about France Jobin's music that never fails to impress is that it works on so many levels. Listen to it at the threshold of perception (the way it is mastered) or at very high volume, on headphones or through loudspeakers, and you will hear new sonic relationships, new structures, a new logic every time. Things simultaneously are and aren't as they seem; sounds you hear are and aren't really there.

Montréal sound/installation artist France Jobin has come a long way since her days as a blues keyboardist in the 1980s. In 1999, after a hiatus that lasted a decade, during which she raised two sons, she turned to experimental electronic music of the very quiet, rumbling, abstracted kind, and started performing and releasing music under the moniker i8u. Slowly but with great assurance, she built a much-lauded career and kept on refining her art, ever digging deeper into the core of sound. When the revered LINE label offered her an album (Valence) in 2012, she abandoned her alias and started using her own name.

In her own words:

«The Illusion of Infinitesimal represents another chance to refine the unique essence of each sound and composition, in an effort to better communicate intent without influencing its unfolding, a delicate balance between perfection and detachment.

A parallel could be drawn from particles of matter, which, "as far as we know, are infinitesimal points of zero size, yet they have measurable amounts of angular momentum. Does the concept of rotation even make sense for a featureless speck? Angular momentum seems to be a more foundational concept than rotation itself. The angular momentum, or spin, of a single particle is restricted in strange ways. It can have only certain values, and not all values are allowed for all particles." (1)

Perfection and uncertainty.»

Blue.Hour explores the high contrast colors created in the landscape during “l’heure bleue,” the period of twilight each evening when there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. Directly following the ‘Golden Hour,’ know for its diffused yet powerful light, the Blue Hour retains the diffusion but lacks the strong light source giving this period of the day an especially melancholic and meditative atmosphere.

Blue.Hour is presented here in stereo with some compositional elements added to make it more suitable for home listening.

Yann Novak - Blue.Hour (Excerpt)

2013年、murmur records一発目のタイトルは、PROGRESSIVE FOrMやMille Plateauxでもお馴染みのポーランドの音響作家Pleqと、新進気鋭の日本のアンビエント作家Hakobuneのコラボレーション！

Hakobuneにより即興的に紡がれたギタードローンは、早旦の大気、陽光の中へと踏み出そうとしている張り詰めた想念のように硬質で透明である。 環境音を過剰なまでに加工し有形化されたPleqのパルス音が、薄い網膜、或いは全身を走る神経回路のように繊細に全体を覆うことで、お互いの共鳴する音の粒子は少しずつ加速していき、やがて固有の瑞々しい色が照らし出され始める。

部屋の明かりを少し落として、ただどっぷりと彼らの音が生み出す振動に身を浸して頂きたい！
ベッドミュージックの決定盤！
