Description

[Machine Translation] An overlooked pearl from Dali, Yunnan, China, that should reach all Krautrock to Modern Ambient listeners! The electronic music duo Yundo Borderland Band, consisting of Huanqing and Liao Kai, released their little-known masterpiece "Yundo Borderland" on <BadHead>, an affiliate of <Modern Sky>, in 2019, and now it is available for the first time on CD in Japan through Sad Disco. Formed in Dali in 2016, the duo consists of 10 songs on a double disc set, based on the two senses of Liao Kai's "Cloud Border" and Huanqing's "Earth Border". One of the important meanings of the title "Cloud and Earth," which is the same as their unit name, is that this is their first electronic music piece. In the ancient Chinese language, "yundo" is a generic term for a variety of herbs that have hallucinogenic and analgesic effects. The appeal of this work lies in its quiet yet profound sonic world, which freely moves back and forth between new age, minimal, chill-out, cosmic, ambient, and even ethnic music sensibilities. Liao Kai's compositions depict a floating sensation as if air and water vapor are slowly changing form through synthesizers and electronic processing. On the other hand, in the music of Huanqing, indigenous sounds such as the mouth-reedic flute and electronic sounds overlap with each other, giving the music a more earth-based, ritualistic feel. This is not a piece that will make you listen to it with a flashy development - it is a piece that will slowly lead the listener to "introspection" through repetition, blank space, overtones, and persistence. The work is not a work of development, but a piece that slowly leads the listener to "introspection" through repetition, blank space, overtones, and sustained sound. We are cultivating our respective realms, but at the same time we are cultivating one place together. Clouds and soil overlap and become a "border. This album is strongly recommended for those who are attracted to ambient music after Brian Eno, a sense of continuity derived from krautrock, and the sound of ethnic instruments.

Description in Japanese

雲土境 / 雲土境楽隊

全クラウトロック~モダン・アンビエント・リスナーに届いてほしい、中国雲南・大理発の見落とされた真珠! 歓慶と廖凱による電子音楽デュオ、雲土境樂隊が2019年に<Modern Sky>傘下<BadHead>から発表した、国外ではほとんど知られてこなかった恐るべき傑作──『雲土境』が、<Sad Disco>より待望の初日本盤CD化! 2016年に大理で結成された彼らは、廖凱の「雲境」と歓慶の「土境」という二つの感覚を軸に、全10曲を二枚組で構成している。彼らのユニット名と同じ『雲土境』という表題の重要な意味のひとつは、本作が彼らにとって最初の電子音楽作品であるという点にある。同時に、中国の古語において「雲土」は、幻覚や鎮痛作用を齎す様々な薬草の総称でもある。本作の魅力は、ニューエイジ、ミニマル、チルアウト、コスミッシェ、アンビエント、民族音楽的感覚までを自在に往還した、静かでありながら深遠な音響世界にある。廖凱の楽曲群は、シンセサイザーや電子処理によって、空気や水蒸気がゆっくり形を変えていくような浮遊感を描き出す。一方、歓慶の楽曲群では、口簧琴をはじめとする土着的な響きと電子音が重なり、より大地に根ざした、儀式的な感触が前面化している。決して、派手な展開で聴かせるような作品ではない──反復と余白、倍音と持続によって、聴き手をじわじわと<内省>へと導いていく一枚である。雲と土、空と地、非物質と物質が往復するような、東洋的な循環の感覚が全体を静かに貫く。「私たちはそれぞれの領域を耕しながら、同時に一つの場を共に耕している。雲と土が重なり合い、<境>となるのです。」(歓慶) Brian Eno以降のアンビエントや、クラウトロック由来の持続感覚、さらに民族楽器の響きに惹かれる耳にこそ強くレコメンドしたい一枚。
