Opis

Musica Genera presents another album from French musique concrète composer Lionel Marchetti (in 2005 MG had released the CD "Docteur Kramer (you are not you)" by Lionel Marchetti and Emmanuel Petit), this time realised together with his artistic partner Yôko Higashi, Japanese performer, dancer and vocalist. The album contains three compositions of musique concrète, one by Marchetti, one by Higashi and a collaborative work by both artists.

Each of the tracks is an elaborate sound construction of individual characteristics and unique sound aura. "Pétrole 73" is the artistic fruit of Marchetti's stay at the "Stubnitz" trawler, the one of a kind ship rebuilt as a floating cultural centre. Analogue drones, radio voices and mechanical sounds of working hull create the atmosphere that contrasts with next composition. "Okura" was realised by Higashi basing on the sound material gathered in Mozambique. Field recordings of African nature and surprising electronic interventions interweave with fragments of ethnic music, leading the listener towards the final, collaborative track. "Pétrole 42" captivates with it's sonic depth and uncanny, ethereal aura created by delicate synthesiser passages, distant, unearthly voices, chants, breaths, punctuated with disturbing, aggressive concrète sounds.

With the letter M of Much Music, the M of Muslimgauze, Merzbow and Machinefabriek is also the M of Marchetti, Lionel, who is a very composer these days and with quite an amount of releases under his belt. Here he teams up with his partner Yoko Higashi, who is also an active composer of electronic music (with various releases on Entr'acte). They each have a solo piece and one collaborative. Marchetti uses sounds from the Stubnitz, the boat/venue from Rostock, along with some sine wave like sound and radio voices. In Higashi's piece field recordings from Mozambique play an important role, along with various voices of different kinds and some electronic (analogue) processing. At almost sixteen minutes this is the longest piece on this CD. Curiously enough their collaborative piece is called 'Petrole 42' (Marchetti's solo piece is 'Petrole 73'), so its not difficult (or not to avoid) to see this piece as an extension of his solo piece. That I thought was a pity. Although the CD was quite nice, I also had the idea it was a bit of a filler - not the best work of Marchetti, but rather the need of getting one out. Still of a good quality, while not his best.
