80年代日本の環境音楽/実験音楽のパイオニア広瀬豊。彼の音楽の再評価を世界に向けて発信してきたスイスのWRWTFWWから、新作アルバム「Voices」がリリースさえれました。
Track List
WRWTFWW Records is very excited to announce its third release from visionary Japanese ambient/experimental/environmental composer/producer Yutaka Hirose, this time with brand new album Voices, available on limited edition heavyweight-sleeved double LP as well as double CD, both with liner notes from the artist.
Voices finds Yutaka Hirose expanding his signature spatial layering into a three-dimensional videography of sound, blending field recordings, electronic manipulations, and abstract narratives. The 12-track album is a journey through a crumbling library where books whisper, history collides, and sonic textures weave new realities. Chaos, memory, and transformation – Hirose’s voices echo throughout the space, creating a fully immersive sonic experience.
The pioneering experimental and abstract electronic piece with deep hints of ambient and IDM is beautifully represented by the original artwork by Koji Shiroshita and Mifuku gracing the double LP and double digipack CD sleeves.
Voices marks Yutaka Hirose’s third full-length release on WRWTFWW Records, following his kankyõ ongaku classics Nova + 4 (an expanded version of his genre defining Soundscape 2: Nova album) and archival compilation TRACE: Sound Design Works 1986-1989, both available in vinyl, CD, and digital formats.

1986年に日本の環境音楽のキーとなるMISAWA HOMEのレーベルから、吉村宏が第１弾を担当した「音のインテリア = Soundscape」の第２弾、「Soundscape 2: Nova」でデビュー、とうzののレアワークスもWRWTFWWからコンパイル。2022年にはArcàngeloから「Nostalghia」、2024年にはArt Into Lifeから「John Cage Memorial」をリリースしてきた広瀬豊のニューリリース。今作は「VOICES」をテーマに、
『空間的なレイヤリングが、フィールド・レコーディング、電子操作、抽象的な物語を融合させた3次元の音のビデオグラフィへと拡張されている。本が囁き、歴史が衝突し、音のテクスチャーが新たな現実を織り成す、崩れかけた図書館を巡る旅である。混沌、記憶、変容-廣瀬の声が空間全体に響き渡り、完全に没入できる音響体験を生み出す。』
オブスキュアなサウンドの中に、仏教、ラーガ、猥雑とした謎のスピリチュアル感、ダンスビートへのアプローチもある的ユニークなエレクトロニック・ミュージック。 (サイトウ)
