Tribute To Jon Hassell (1937 – 2021)

Jon Hassell was one of the world’s most innovative musicians and one of 20th century most influential composers. His music has established a genre that goes beyond the notions of jazz, neo-classicism, new music or new age. Jon’s concept of Fourth World Music transcends the so-called ‘primitive’ and the so-called ‘futurist’ by seamlessly uniting traditional rhythmic and melodic concepts with recombinant aesthetics made possible by the creations of high technology. Fourth World music is the soundtrack to an imaginary future culture based on the mingling of ancient and modern, Western sophistication and Third World primitivism. Its music for nowhere / nowhen, a place that doesn’t actually exist yet. As Miles Davis, Jassell have transcended the Trumpet’s inherent limitations and use it as flexibly, as expressively and as intimately as a great singer uses his voice.

RIP Jon

flau、術ノ穴などからのリリースでも知られる希代のトラック・メイカーGeskiaの通算7枚目となる待望の最新アルバム『SFIMT』！
前作『Silent Of Light』に続きPROGRESSIVE FOrMよりリリース。

本作の特徴は何と言っても収録全10曲にちりばめられたボーカルやボイスの存在であろう。その意味ではGeskia初のボーカル・アプローチなアルバムとも言える。

フィールドレコーディングを始めとした多種多様なボイス素材の声や歌のフレーズを分解し、ピッチを様々にいじったものを再構築してオートチューンで歌わせるという手法を取っており、男性らしく聴こえる声も元は女性の声だったり、その逆もあり、楽曲を構成する楽器の一部として声に性別としての役割はもたせてはいないが、そこには強烈な存在感と魅惑的なメロディー・ラインが奏でられている。

アルバム全体としては、都会的な影の部分や現代的な響きは意識して取り入れており、個人的な憂いや倦怠感などの渇きを都市の生産的で肯定的な躍動感と対比させた部分、またそこから産まれるのはパーソナルな核になる孤独感と多幸感にスポットを当てて表現されています。

WARP、TriAngle Records、Young Turks、Modern Loveといったレーベルのエッセンスとシンクロする現在進行形の音楽に通じたテイストのリスナーにお薦め。

Geskia "Priority Minority" from "SFIMT" PFCD48

"..Ishi finds Gengras continuing to take cues from the latter comparison point: its three tracks flow into each other subtly enough to qualify as passages rather than discrete songs, building and releasing with a patient determination. The music moves unhurriedly from moment to moment in a way that traces the clear outline a strong compositional foundation, producing an atmosphere that's both serene and substantial.
It’s tempting to call Ishi ambient music, but it possesses too much presence to fade into the background. It possesses an insistence that just stops short of dominating your attention. Although Gengras’ current mode relies heavily on slow-attack synth pads, he frequently works in dissonant leads and unexpectedly harsh tones that can disrupt the peaceful mood you might find yourself lulled into. It’s a soothing record, but one that’ll still keep you on your toes." - Miles Raymer, Pitchfork
