セネガルやデトロイトシーンとの繋がり、自身のパーティー「No Adoration, No Humiliation」、聖歌隊のミキシングなど教会で音響ミニストリーの仕事をしていた経験や、A-Musikやレコード流通Groove Attackでの勤務など、多様な経験を反映させた非常に面白い作品を送り出しているドイツ・ケルンを中心に活動するコミュニケーターViola Kleinが、常連となっているベルギーの〈Meakusma〉から新作をリリース。ジャズ理論にも基づいた、エクスパンテッド・ハウス逸品。
Track List
" The record tells of oases of trust.“ (Viola Klein)
Viola Klein’s records are supremely earthy and astrally inclined. In her DJ sets, she navigates with harmonies through a music selection that combines experimental house from the US Midwest, West African polyrhythms, and music in the tradition of Can from Cologne. Klein was invited to shape the sound of a club night alongside Kampire and Nídia. She has collaborated with Unity Fellowship Church New York, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Ndongo Samba Sylla, the James and Grace Lee Boggs Center in Detroit, Julion De’Angelo, and Whodat. For her own party series, originally called Bring Your Ass and later No Adoration, No Humiliation, she invited artists such as Aaron Carl, K15, and Kyle Hall when he was just 18 years old.
Her latest solo release, Confidant, offers a fresh approach to deepness.

不規則なオフグリッドのリズムに柔軟性のあるシンセのレイヤー、12分のハウス・ジャム遠泳Aside。ヒスノイズのピアノソロへと展開するB1。機能的ながら即興演奏で揺さぶるB2。DJでは、デトロイト実験ハウス〜西アフリカのポリリズム〜スピリチュアルジャズ〜CANに根差した音楽などレンジの広いプレイのようで、そちらも興味深い。 (足立)
