Carolyn Enger — American Ethos

Genre類型

Classical / Solo Piano / 20th–21st-C American

Label廠牌

Métier (Divine Art)

Format介質

CD / Hi-Res FLAC

The 250th anniversary of American independence has produced, predictably, an avalanche of orchestral commissions wrapped in the rhetorical flag of Appalachian Spring. Enger's contribution is quieter and, for that reason, much more useful. She opens with Bernstein's Thirteen Anniversaries—a sequence of miniatures, one per friend (Sondheim, the young pianist William Kapell, his wife Felicia Montealegre)—then runs through Corigliano's An Anniversary for Lenny, four of Still's Seven Traceries, Rorem excerpts, Florence Price's Adoration, and Copland's three piano excerpts from Our Town. Each piece treats "America" as a noun referring to specific people, rather than an adjective inflating its own importance. Enger plays unornamented. The argument lands without raising its voice. 美國獨立 250 週年帶來一批《Appalachian Spring》式的浮誇樂團委約，Enger 走另一條路：開場 Bernstein《Thirteen Anniversaries》——每首給一個親人（妻子 Felicia、Sondheim、英年早逝的鋼琴家 William Kapell）；接 John Corigliano《An Anniversary for Lenny》、William Grant Still《Seven Traceries》四首、Ned Rorem 選段、Florence Price《Adoration》、Copland《Our Town》三首鋼琴節選。

Ben Allison, Steve Cardenas & Ted Nash — Triological

Genre類型

Jazz / Trio / Original Compositions

Label廠牌

Sunnyside Records

Format介質

CD / Vinyl / Streaming

The trio's previous four records were all tributes—Strayhorn, Mingus, Mary Lou Williams, Paul Bley—and Triological is, finally, an all-originals outing. Recorded over two days at Allison's Pennsylvania studio, the album is built on the curious alchemy of jazz trios without drums: bass, guitar, and sax leave so much air for melody that rhythm stops being the problem and shape becomes everything. The opening "Burnt Toast & Avocado" is the kind of charm offensive a record like this lives or dies by; it lives. Cardenas's tone, dry and indifferent to demonstration, anchors the whole project. ECM, but with a sweet tooth. 三人組的第五張。前四張都做致敬（Strayhorn、Mingus、Mary Lou Williams、Paul Bley）——這次首次只錄原創。低音、結他、Sax，沒有鼓，兩天錄在 Ben 在賓州的 Maggie's Farm。沒有鼓的爵士三重奏好聽的原因，是節奏不再是問題，旋律的形狀變成全部。《Burnt Toast & Avocado》一開場就把這種小品最討喜的那一面端出來。ECM 的呼吸感，加一點點甜。

Takkak Takkak — Abu

Genre類型

Experimental / Indonesian-Japanese / Noise / Hardstyle / Ritual Electronic

Label廠牌

Nyege Nyege Tapes

Format介質

LP / Streaming / CS

The Vilnius-based Indonesian composer and instrument-builder Johanes "Mo'ong" Santoso Pribadi (half of Raja Kirik) and the Berlin-based Japanese producer Shigeru Ishihara (Scotch Rolex) have, on their second collaboration, made a record that refuses cartography. Abu—Bahasa for "ash"—was recorded across Yogyakarta, Švenčionėliai, and Berlin, and it stitches gamelan resonance, taiko shockwaves, breakcore arithmetic, and hardstyle kick patterns into the topography of a volcanic island that exists only in the recording. The opener, Hai no uta, sounds biomechanical: Java gongs intercut with xenharmonic flute and live-rendered electronic vibration. Hino-Tori simply matches their shouts to carnivalesque synths and lets the rhythm do the rest. Bandcamp Daily named it Album of the Day on May 21. Their own gloss: "identity dissolves like sound in fog." Vilnius 的印尼作曲家 Johanes 「Mo'ong」 Santoso Pribadi（Raja Kirik 一半）與柏林的日本製作人 Shigeru Ishihara（Scotch Rolex）第二次合作。《Abu》（印尼語「灰」）橫跨 Yogyakarta、Švenčionėliai、Berlin 三地錄成，把 gamelan 共鳴、太鼓震波、breakcore 算數、hardstyle 鼓點縫成一座只在錄音裡存在的火山島。
