香港にてフィールドレコーディングアーティストとして活動を続けてきた音響作家Edwin Lo氏の音響作品が入荷。自身のレーベルRabbit Travelogueより2010年に発売した名作Central Regionを日本国内では初となる正規取り扱いをGARBAGE COLLECTIONが開始!
SIGNALDADAより11年3月に発売されたshotahiramaのCDアルバム Sad Vacation (SIGNAL003) ではフィールドレコーディングのマテリアル提供を担当していた彼のソロ作品という事もあり注目度はとても高い。本作Central Regionは07年から10年の3年間、香港はSheung WanそしてCentralの2カ所を中心に集音/採集したという膨大なサウンドファイルを46分(ワンレングス:ストレート)にも及ぶ長尺かつ重層的なレイヤリングで構成したエレガントなコンクレタイズミュージックになっている。中国本土と香港島、その差異だけが持続する、反復運動をヴォイコットするテン年代エイジアンによるコンクレートはやはり凛としている。
Official Info from Edwin Lo's website-
Wandering through different spaces and most importantly, the social and political events in Central of Hong Kong, Rabbit Travelogue: Central Region is not only a production related to the listening of specific soundscape, it is also about how sound engaging into to society, how to convey the social and political aspect of daily life through documentation of sound. From the processed soundwalks to the demonstration of Queen Pier (one of the historical symbol and public space in Hong Kong), and ending with the demonstration of Anti-express national railway outside Legislative Council in Hong Kong, this release tries to express the artist’s personal sentiment toward the current status and the destruction in Hong Kong: “a city forgets the past, its future will not be beautirful.” (from the banner of exhibition “Coming Near you: The Destruction of Central Hong Kong”, 2005)
Duration: 46'45
Field recordings are recorded between July, 2007 - January, 2010 in Sheung Wan and Central.
