Matthew Herbertとの共演でも知られ、Ben UFOやWill Bankheadからもサポートされるスイスのドラマー/サウンドアーティスト鬼才Julian Sartorius新作アルバムが凄いです。彼の脳内アイデアの具現化を試みた4人のドラマー「Ensemble This | Ensemble That」の演奏を駆使した超絶ストイック驚愕ポリリズム・パーカッション・アンサンブルにどっぷりと魅了される。飽くなきリズム・パーカッション探求。なかなか凄いです。かっこいい!!!Goatファンも是非ともチェックをどうぞ!!DLコード付き。

23の拍子からなるパターンがアンサンブルによって連続的に演奏されて、持続的なリズムの流れを持ちながら、リズムとして強度を放ちながら絶えず変化し続けスパークする15分8秒、驚愕の作品となったSide-A「L」(sample1)、よりスピリチュアル・イマジナリーにストーリーテリングされる23分50秒のSide-B「R」(sample2)を収録。テクノ・エクスペリメンタル・パーカッション・リズム・アンサンブルとしても効能。サイエンスの境地。推薦盤とさせていただきます。アヴァンギャルド実験音楽からのテクノ・ミニマリズム、ダブ・エクスペリメンタルを探求提案する意欲的チャレンジUK注目レーベル-OUSからのJulian Sartorius3年ぶりニューアルバム新作。 (コンピューマ) (LPのコメントから参照)

"What you do is a fundamental question. But it's how you do something that ultimately determines the effect." — Julian Sartorius
With 'RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR', Swiss drummer and sound artist Julian Sartorius presents his third album in three years. Together with 'Ensemble This | Ensemble That' Sartorius has created a mesmerizing 39-minute percussion album that conclusively expands his artistic output. For the first time, an ensemble plays an idea conceived by Sartorius, while he assumes the role of an interactive conductor, manipulating the sounds made.

Sartorius is known for his fluid and versatile solo performances in which he continually modulates the sound of his instruments, adding objects and progressively unfolding his sound world. The idea of expanding this practice was already gestating when the 'Ensemble This | Ensemble That' invited him for a collaboration. Together with the drummers and percussionists Brian Archinal, Victor Barceló, Miguel Angel Garcia Martin and Bastian Pfefferli the concept was further explored, elaborated upon in detail, and finally realized.
'RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR' is both title and score for the ensemble's four percussionists. The pattern, consisting of 23 individual beats, is played continuously by the ensemble while Sartorius gradually makes alterations to the instruments played. The result is a piece that has a sustained rhythmic flow yet is perpetually changing. Sartorius' interventions and the precise musicality of the ensemble allows the listener to discover an expansive array of moods and intensities.

The album is structurally recursive but develops an almost mystical magnetism through an odyssey of diverse musical landscapes. Sartorius explains: "It amazes me deeply how much the sentiment can change based on a musical mood - this sense of curiosity is made audible with this album." The album recording itself is designed as an endless loop: at the end of the recording, the ensemble's sound has returned to its starting point, thereby completing an endless, self-contained cycle, with no beginning or end. In this way, Sartorius also echoes his 2021 album 'Locked Grooves'.

Julian Sartorius' precise and multi-layered rhythmical patterns are keen excursions into the hidden tones of found objects and prepared instruments, bridging the gap between organic timbres and the vocabulary of (experimental) electronic music. He has released numerous solo albums, creates audiovisual art works, collaborates with musicians, writers, and artists, and performs live in intimate venues and on festival stages.
Ensemble This | Ensemble That (ET|ET) have established themselves not only as interpreters of contemporary music, but also as collaborators to a wide range of artists including projects like Zimoun, Myriam Bleu, Strotter Inst., Lê Quan Ninh, Marko Ciciliani, Jürg Frey, and Michael Maierhof, amongst others.
