Description

[Machine Translation] Reconstructed from the final live recording made during his lifetime! The final chapter of the trilogy is released! John Hassell s *Music Is Invisible* is the third and concluding installment of the *Pentimento Trilogy* and a special album featuring his final live performance before his passing. Recorded on May 23, 2015, at St. John at Hackney Church in London, this trio performance featuring R. Rick Cox, and John von Seegern which took place on May 23, 2015, at St. John at Hackney Church in London has been reconstructed by Jeff Rona through meticulous editing and mixing, elevating it into a sonic work that transcends the boundaries of a mere live album. Following 2018 s *Listening To Pictures* and 2020 s *Seeing Through Sound*, this album features themes, motifs, and riffs from those two works emerging within semi-improvised performances. Pentimento" refers to the phenomenon in which past images or brushstrokes, painted over in a painting, become visible. Hassel applies this concept to music, layering new performances over recordings of past live shows and rehearsals, or transforming them into different compositions through loops and editing. This approach is strongly influenced by the version" culture of Jamaican dub and Theo Macero s bold tape editing for Miles Davis. *Music Is Invisible* also blurs the boundary between live and studio performances by utilizing past recordings as a sound bed and applying editing, sampling, and overdubbing. The album title was one of the options Hassel had in mind while producing *Seeing Through Sound*, and the liner notes include his own essay, On the Invisibility of Music." The album artwork features the 1976 painting *Leh C est Beau* by his close friend Matti Klarwein. Completed with the collaboration of Rick Cox, John von Segel, and longtime engineer Arnaud Mercier, this album is a quiet yet grand final statement that carries on the philosophy of invisible music" that Hassel pursued. Domestic distribution edition.

Music Is Invisible (Pentimento Volume Three) / ジョン・ハッセル

生前最後のライブ音源を再構築! 3部作の最終章がリリース! ジョン・ハッセルの『Music Is Invisible』は、「Pentimento Trilogy」を締めくくる第3作であり、彼が生前最後に行ったライヴ・パフォーマンスを収録した特別な作品である。2015年5月23日にロンドンのSt John at Hackney教会で行われた、Rリック・コックス、ジョン・フォン・ゼーゲルンとのトリオ演奏を、ジェフ・ロナが緻密な編集・ミックスによって再構築し、単なるライヴ盤の枠を超えた音響作品へと昇華している。2018年の『Listening To Pictures』、2020年の『Seeing Through Sound』に続く本作では、両作に登場したテーマ、モチーフ、リフが半即興的な演奏の中に姿を現す。Pentimentoとは、絵画の上から塗り重ねられた過去のイメージや筆跡が浮かび上がる現象を指す言葉。ハッセルはこの概念を音楽に応用し、過去のライヴやリハーサルの録音を素材として新たな演奏を重ねたり、ループや編集によって別の楽曲へと変容させてきた。その手法には、ジャマイカのダブにおける「ヴァージョン」文化や、テオ・マセロによるマイルス・デイヴィスの大胆なテープ編集からの影響も色濃く反映されている。『Music Is Invisible』もまた、過去の演奏をサウンドベッドとして活用し、編集、サンプリング、オーバーダビングを施すことで、ライヴとスタジオの境界を曖昧にしている。アルバム・タイトルは、ハッセルが『Seeing Through Sound』制作時に考えていた候補のひとつであり、ライナーノーツには彼自身による「On The Invisibility Of Music」を収録。アートワークには、彼の親友マティ・クラーワインによる1976年の絵画『Leh C'est Beau』を使用。リック・コックス、ジョン・フォン・ゼーゲルや、長年のエンジニア、アルノー・メルシエらの協力のもと完成された本作は、ハッセルが追求した「見えない音楽」の思想を受け継ぐ、静かで壮大なラスト・ステートメントである。国内流通仕様盤。
