順位はつけていないのですが、特にお気に入りだったEarth To InfinityとPuliから聴いてもらいたい。

00年代後半に愛した日本のバンドと同じ名前、LAのバンドPuliのデビューアルバムは、私のために作られたのかと錯覚するほど、ここ数年の気分にマッチしていた。カラッと軽やかで音数も少なく、アンビエント？　チルアウト？　バレアリック？　Music From Memoryから出ていたThe Zenmennとも近い印象を受けるかわいらしさ……と思いきや、効果的なパーカッションとよく鳴る低音の扱いは完全に2020年代のダウンテンポのそれでかっこいい。こういう組み合わせはありそうで無かった。メンバーは、Damon Palermo（Magic Touch、Mi Ami――そう100% Silkの！　10年前に東京でライヴを観たなあ）、DJのPhil Cho、Suzanne KraftやBaba Stiltzのライヴでサポートとしてギターを弾いているJohn Jonesの3人。これまで聴いてきた音楽と繋がっていて納得がいった。

2月には、数年探していたSource RecordsのCDをたくさん手に入れた。90年代初め〜00年代中盤にかけて存在したこのレーベルについては、Resident Advisorの記事をDeepLを使って翻訳してみたり、サブスクにあるだけ全部入れたプレイリスト（Apple / Spotify）を作ったりしたが、多くが未だ再発されておらず日本では見つけにくいのもあいまってきちんと聴くことができずにいた。ドイツから届いた盤は30枚以上、途中で関連アーティストに寄り道しつつ、夏まで他の音楽を聴く暇があまりないほど、20〜30年遅れのSourceギャル気分（？）を満喫した。7月は灼熱の東京でAndrew Peklerの白昼夢のようなライヴを観た。実験的なエレクトロニック・ミュージックで知られる彼は、SourceからSad Rocketsとしてデビューしたときも、SG名義での現在も実はギターを弾いているのだ。私がApple Musicで2024年にいちばん聴いたアルバムは、昨年リリースのSG『For Lovers Only / Rain Suite』だったらしい。ギターはここしばらく惹きつけられる楽器である。

どれもこれも素晴らしいのでベストに入れるのはかなり迷った結果、直球に気分が良くなるものを選んだつもり。Earth To Infinityは、David Moufang（Move D）とJonas Grossmann（Bton）のふたりによるユニットで、CDのみで発売されたSource最初の作品だ。KLFの影響が感じられる、WarpのAIシリーズ以前に生み出された牧歌的なアンビエント・テクノ、知っているような知らないようなサンプリングされたネタが脳内の記憶の引き出しにそっと触れてくるように飛び交い、極上の没入、催眠、陶酔、ああ、こういうのが聴きたかったんだよね……という心地よさ。ここではDeep Space Network、I.F.と彼らの変名の作品を紹介してきて、当時の若者が作っていた音楽でもずっと大人っぽく聞こえる。ぼんやりとして風変わりなのがSourceの特色で、これから時間が経って聴くとまた別の聞こえ方がしてきそうだ。

そうやってSourceを経たのと、夏から高岡駅前のバーmonosでDJをするようになったのとで、音楽の好みが数年前から拡張しつつちょっと変わってきたかも、というのが他のアルバムの並びに反映されている。もともとビート主体ではなく全体像で音楽を聴いていることが多く、繋ぎは何年経ってもあまり自信がない��それってDJとしてどうなんとかは置いといて）。リスニングの延長として、テイストの近接、ジャンルを超えてみる、余白を楽しむなどあれこれ並べながら、即興でその空間と酒量に合わせることでレコードの良さが引き立つといいな〜というスタイルでターンテーブルとミキサーに向き合っています。

monosには通常営業におじゃまする感じで、月イチ平日（水曜か木曜が多いかな）にいますので、気軽に飲みに来ていただけたらうれしいです。告知は私のInstagramのストーリーズにて。

今年も寝る前の日記代わりに追加しているプレイリスト2024 Best 100+ Tracks（Apple / Spotify）を作ったので聴いてみてください。

Nicolas Gaunin - Noa Noa Noa LP 

Nicolas Gaunin's surreal sound experiments lift you out of the everyday and transport you to an off-world Tiki lounge set high amongst the tree tops of a tropical rainforest, where you're surrounded by bizarre, colorful creatures, and weird psychotropic plants. Noa Noa Noa is modern Dada, a neon soundtrack to your most outlandish fever dreams. Nicolas Gaunin is the alter ego of Nicola Sanguin, part of the vibrant experimental music scene around Padua, Italy where he plays in outsider rock groups The Lay Llamas and Orange Car Crash. Nicolas Gaunin is his solo electronic project, a bright and playful cosmic mash-up that uses the rhythms of traditional African percussion groups and skews them slightly to create unsettling, off-kilter grooves. These drum machine experiments are laid over a teeming microscopic sound world of bird calls, insect chatter and weird jingles reminiscent of advertising earworms or video game soundtracks. Noa Noa Noa takes its influences from music from around the world, and inspiration from high and low culture; from composer Gyorgy Ligeti to the cosmic sounds of Italian DJ Danielle Baldelli, from the experimental music of Moondog or Harry Partch to the playful sounds of Francis Bebey or the exotica of Martin Denny, from Iannis Xenakis to 8-bit video game music. Noa Noa Noa ends up sounding something like the imaginary soundtrack to the Nintendo Gameboy version of a lost William S. Burroughs novel. Incredibly, most of the tracks on Noa Noa Noa were recorded live in one take with the express intention of creating music that is, in contrast to much of today's electronic music, bright, sunny, light-hearted and mischievous. The resulting album is both totally essential and also completely throwaway. These tracks were originally released in 2018 by Artetetra Records (Italy) as Noa Noa (cassette and digital) and Danse de l'Oiseau (digital only). Hive Mind Records present Noa Noa Noa on vinyl for the first time.

Instead of mixing the tracks just like any other mixtape, I picked some tracks that I like and I fed my sünnœttypækkülyttï machine with them. I also decided to pick something that I had in my head for several months: the intro of “Shape of you” by Ed Sheeran. I found that digital marimba sound very annoying yet interesting since it’s the first sound you hear on a pop hit loved by million of people. So I used that sound hoping that it was the key for making a pop hit, unfortunately it wasn’t and you’ll hear that sound all over the mix, deformed in all possible ways to become acceptable but at the end it’s just an annoying digital marimba. The other tracks are way better than that intro sound, they are: Francesco Cavaliere - xilo di lamella que infilza Ahnnu - Elastic Polonius - Anaxia Jon Hassell - Empire V Nicolas Gaunin - Noa Noa Paul de Marinis - Fonetica Francese some samples taken from the Brasil compilation on Soul Jazz some samples taken from the CREM archive

MACERATA – Il 14 e 15 dicembre 2019 terzo appuntamento di Ratatà Muta, il festival di fumetto, illustrazione ed editoria indipendente che fin dal suo esordio nel 2014 si è subito confermato un appuntamento innovativo per la città sostenuto dall’assessorato alla Cultura del Comune di Macerata. Il nuovo appuntamento è stato presentato questa mattina con una conferenza stampa alla quale hanno partecipato il sindaco Romano Carancini, l’assessora alla Cultura Stefania Monteverde, Lisa Gelli, Nicola Alessandrini, rispettivamente presidente e vicepresidente dell’associazione Ratatà e Martina Graziosi, socia fondatrice.

“C’è un pensiero di grande soddisfazione nei confronti di Ratatà – ha detto il sindaco Carancini –  perché  rappresenta uno degli esprimenti più riusciti verso nuove forme di espressione e di creatività che hanno significato un arricchimento per la città. La visione ���diversa’ di Ratatà Muta credo che possa diventare protagonista a Natale, in un contesto se vogliamo particolare,  in grado di dialogare con un pubblico diverso ma anche con le famiglie e i bambini.”

“Macerata continua ad essere città di produzione culturale – afferma l’assessora alla Cultura Stefania Monteverde –  aperta a tutti i generi espressivi sia nell’editoria che nel campo musicale. Un luogo dove anche la produzione indipendente dalla grande distribuzione trova occasione di confronto e di nuova ricerca. In questi anni Ratatà Festival è cresciuto come progetto culturale capace di muovere una realtà dinamica, internazionale, giovane, portatrice di idee nuove, di domande e di sperimentazioni. Felici che sia Macerata culla di una nuova creatività.”

La terza tappa di Ratatà, inserita nel ricco calendario delle iniziative organizzate dall’Amministrazione comunale in occasione delle festività “Macerata d’Inverno.- E’ tornare bambini”, come hanno avuto modo di dire gli organizzatori nel corso della conferenza stampa, nasce in stretta collaborazione con l’Only Fucking Labels, festival decennale dedicato alle etichette musicali indipendenti organizzato dal collettivo OFL ed il CSA Sisma si svolgerà ai Magazzini Uto, con una mostra mercato dedicata ad una quindicina di progetti editoriali indipendenti, festival, aggregatori di auto-produzioni fra i più importanti a livello nazionale ed una personale, “Qualcosa da Contenere”, del grande illustratore e pittore pesarese Luca Caimmi, che per l’occasione organizzerà due laboratori, dedicati ai bambini ed agli adulti.

Durante la serata al CSA Sisma si svolgerà invece la parte musicale dell’evento con una selezione di progetti musicali provenienti da tutta Italia. L’edizione 2019 di Ratatà ha avuto una forma diversa rispetto agli anni passati, si è sviluppata in tre macro eventi distribuiti nell’arco di tutto l’anno, da aprile fino a dicembre. L’obiettivo è quello di preparare il pubblico all’edizione del festival 2020, “L’anno del topo”, dove sono previste esposizioni di disegno contemporaneo e non, una mostra mercato ancora più ricca, workshop e concerti con artisti di richiamo nazionale ed internazionale. L’attività del 2019 è stata rivolta principalmente al pubblico locale, con un occhio ancora più attento al territorio, mantenendo la proposta culturale di altissimo livello internazionale.
