【再ストックしました。】 イタリアのアンビエント・鍵盤奏者のレジェンドGIGI MASINと、アンビエント・ギター、スローミュージックのキーマンJONNY NASH、アムステルダム、多岐にわたって活躍するYOUNG MARCO によるプロジェクトGAUSSIAN CURVEのニューリリース。
Music From Memory are happy to announce the return of Gaussian Curve. Gigi Masin, Jonny Nash and Marco Sterk’s much-loved trio are back for the first time since their 2016 sophomore album 'The Distance', presenting two new tracks entitled 'Winter Sun' and 'Fever Dream'.
Both tracks originate from recording sessions that took place in Amsterdam in 2016 for 'The Distance'. Despite not finding a place on the final album and being left as unfinished sketches for six years, the tracks represent an important part of the Gaussian Curve story which the band felt compelled to complete. Coinciding with the decision to perform a handful of live shows in 2022, they finally revisited the sketches, mixing and arranging them with the goal of giving them the full release that they deserve.
The trio’s trademark sound hits from first moments of 'Winter Sun'; a lush slow builder with all the classic GC ingredients; Nash’s airy and spacious guitar lines interplay with Masin’s warm rhodes, underpinned by Sterk’s subtle use of electronics and the minimal rhythm of a CR-78 drum machine.
On 'Fever Dream', the trio subtly expand their palette; a gently building 303 bass line and 808 rhythm form the foundations of the piece, with Masin’s vocals adding to a slow-burning intensity. Arguably a fuller sound hinting at new areas of exploration for the trio, but unmistakably Gaussian Curve.
MFM67 will be released in 12” vinyl and digital format, comes with artwork by Qiu Yang, design by Steele Bonus.

レジェンドを囲むスペシャル・プロジェクトとして2枚のアルバムをリリースしてきたGaussian Curve2016年以来の復活で12インチシングルとしては初のリリース。2016年「The Ditance」のための録音ながら未完となっていたセッションを、2022年のライブで集結したのを契機に再構築された曲だそうです。メローなギター、ローズピアノ、エレクトロニクスがゆったりと染み渡る素晴らしい「Winter Sun」。B-SIDEでは、ジジのボーカルをフィーチャリングしています。リリーうと共に絶賛され初回プレスはすぐにSOLD OUTでしたが、追加プレスでの入荷だと思います。 (サイトウ)
