about

1st『アイソフォニック・ブギウギ』(1980)をも凌駕する新たな名盤の誕生！と我々を驚かせたローランド P. ヤングの2009年作品。

『イステット・セレナーデ』は彼が実験してきた55曲のコンプロヴァイゼイション（※「作曲＋即興」を意味する合成語）から10曲を選んで構成したアルバムだ。1st『アイソフォニック〜』の世界をコアに保ち、おなじみのカリンバ、サックス、エレクトロニクスに加え、ここでは木管楽器やパーカッションも駆使して器楽表現の幅を広げている。グループ合奏に聞こえるものもあるが、全て彼の多重録音だ。何よりもヤングの真骨頂はいつの時代の演奏・録音なのかよく判らないところにあり、30年を経てもなお変わらぬ自分の音楽を続けるエヴァーグリーンな感性には感服だ。

"Istet Serenade" is foray into the area of music space that represents the core of Roland's sound philosophy, Isophonics. The theory of composed improvisation of stillness in the fluidity of constant change. The thingness of actualized sound in the nothingness of acoustic evaporation and recreation from the source of the indwelling presence. This occurs at a speed which defies conscious comprehension but which reveals abundant spiritual revelatory aspects.

It requires a state of emersion and a freedom to reach toward technical trust and semiconscious execution of the revealed composition. Upon returning to a conscious state one hears what was created as though it is being presented. The thought then thinks about what was thought and executed as a comprovisation of point instant mixed and remixed sound devices: Breath, Posture, Devotion, Bass Clarinet, Soprano G and Bb Clarinets and Saxophone, Kalimba, Native American Flutes, Electronic Accoutrements, Voice, Percussion, Mac Book, Family, Pen, Pencil and the One.

"The 10 pieces were chosen from 55 comprovisations created over the past year. My Travels to and playing in the atmospheres of Israel, Prague, Rome, London, Paris, Istanbul and Santa Fe, New Mexico combined with my formative years in Kansas City, Missouri then my years in the Bay Area of Northern California and my current residence in Brooklyn, New York inform my music with ever expanding inspirations and creative possibilities.Istet Serenade is a slice of the possible."

This is a sound that is thusly described as spaced acid drones of intense acoustic chill, embracing electronic, ambient, world, avant garde, cosmic, free and chamber jazz music.

Since encountering Gene's solo work (admittedly very late) in 2019, this and Out Of The Blue have been listening mainstays. Gene brings a remarkable lyricism and clarity to his performances. "She Wore The Red Shoes" has rapidly become one of my favourite pieces of music: hypnotic, alluring and very, very beautiful. Tristan Louth-Robins
