ポスト・プルリアント? EG?? ムスリムガーゼの再来??? 現役最強のリズミック・ノイズ／ドラムンノイズ・テクノ女子、衝撃のアレキサンドラ・アトニフ第一集！

80sノイズ／インダストリアル・ミュージック黄金期のリスナーから昨今のエクスペリメンタル・テクノ・フリークまで魅了。ルーマニア出身で現在はLAを拠点とする女性音楽家アレキサンドラ・アトニフは、東西冷戦時代に一世を風靡した建築様式「ブルータリズム」にインスパイアされた音楽「リズミック・ブルータリズム」を提唱。

彼女はヴィンテージなシンセサイザーや高額な機材を一切使わず、フリーウェアを駆使して正に剥き出しのコンクリートのごときビートを放出。その装飾を削ぎ落としたトラック群はエスプレンドー・ジオメトリコら偉大なる先人たちを彷彿とさせる凄みを既に漂わせる。ミニマル・テクノの機能性を保ちつつ、クラブ・ミュージック通過後のノイズ／インダストリアル・ミュージックが失ったヴァイブス、凶暴性を感じさせる唯一無二のサウンドは、既存のインダストリアル・テクノとは一線を画している。

今作は、自主盤アルバムをA.A自身がリワークし、EM Records Editionとした新編集の『リズミック・ブルータリズム第1集』で比較的ミニマル・テクノ寄り内容だ。

released March 20, 2018

"Rhythmic Brutalism" is the title of this release, also available as a double CD set or two separate 12" vinyl LPs; the title is also a very apt description of the music itself. Romania-born Alexandra Atnif is fascinated by the harsh, grey concrete beauty and minimally repetitive force of the brutalist post-war architecture of her homeland, and this fascination has given rise to the music here. Vol. 1 is an EM Records edition, compiled from an earlier self-released double CD featuring recordings from 2014-15. Vol. 2 consists of previously unreleased recordings from 2015 to 2017. Using elemental, inexpensive technology, Atnifs music is heavy and harsh, stripped down to distressed skeletal frameworks, rhythmic noise, rusting metal and weathered concrete, a distorted DIY realization of her beautifully brutal vision. With a background in European modernist/avant-garde music, Atnif has been influenced by early rhythmic industrial music such as Throbbing Gristle, Esplendor Geometrico and Muslimgauze, as well as later practitioners of rhythm and noise including Pan Sonic, Autechre, Winterkälte, Prurient and Scorn. Across the relatively brief span of years contained within these two volumes, we hear the rhythmic structures begin to fracture and fray, and the outlines darken and become more obscure, with Antif's sensibility evident throughout.
