SaD's 4th release is Tomas Phillips again!!
This works is is absolutely masterpiece too.


In one respect, Two Compositions is a failure.
The original aim of these tracks was to compose around silence, thus foregrounding the latter,
though this course was ultimately subverted by emphatic sounds and
forthright melodies that asserted themselves and came to direct each piece.
On the other hand, the collection provokes a fascinating tension between relative stasis and
compositional expression, a tension that speaks to the enigma of minimalist aesthetics.
The practitioner often walks this line, straight or jagged, and in the end
must accept the dictates of nothing invariably, and perhaps successfully, becoming something.

---Tomas Phillips


昨年のリリースから1年を空けずにトーマス・フィリップス新作が<SaD>から登場。ケネス・カーシュナーとのコラボ作品である前作の流れを踏襲、ピアノをフィーチャーしたドローン作品になります。
前作よりもワイドレンジで音響的な仕掛けも多いため(低周波のみ収録された部分など) 特に上質の音響機器で再生すると常に新たな発見があり、購入後に何度でも楽しめるでしょう。
前作でのアンビエントファンに加えて、新たにポストクラシカルのファン層への訴求できる作品に仕上がっています。
マスタリングはレーベルオーナーのDOVUASKI。
