about

Katie and Lucio met over the internet almost every Tuesday for one year, composing two pieces, rehearsing, talking about their lives, and recording.

The desire to play together began after exchanging work and perceiving a deeply common approach to bass clarinet playing, to sound, and to music.

The two pieces offered here are based in a very distinctive but still strictly coherent approach in relation to the work they intend to do.

Phase to Phase 1 is a celebration of meeting each other. With a loose approach to time. Mainly focused in togetherness, expression and playing in a context of freedom in time, and ear-eye-body communication.

Phase to Phase 2 is a piece with a strict approach to time, that intends to expose an experience of artificiality, the psychological effects of overlapping-phasing, and time expansion-contraction, that we have gone through in life in different stages during the pandemic.

When she first listened to the completed recording, Katie had the distinct image that they were two large trees in a giant forest bending and breaking in the wind.

Katie Porter は即興 / 実験 / 現代音楽のフィールドで活動する米国人クラリネット奏者。数々のプロジェクトに関わり、Jürg Frey、Anne Guthrie、Sarah Hennies、Michael Pisaro、Arthur Russell、Craig Shepard、Christian Wolff を含む多くの現代作曲家の作品を初演。Edition Wandelweiser (ドイツ)、Infrequent Seams (米国)、Michael Pisaro が運営する Gravity Wave (米国) からCDをリリース。一方の Lucio Capece はベルリンを拠点に活動する、アルゼンチン出身の作曲家 / 即興演奏家。バス・クラリネットとソプラノ・サックスを使用することが多いが、楽器として様々なツールを駆使した旺盛な活動で知られる。Another Timbre (英国)、Potratch (フランス)、Entr'acte (ベルギー)、Erstwhile (米国) をはじめ、多数のレーベルから話題作、注目作を連発している。

本CDは、Katie Porter と Lucio Capece が2020年から2021年にかけて１年間続けた週一回のオンライン・ミーティングの成果。Porter と Capece はミーティングを通して、ふたつの曲 "Phase to Phase 1"、"Phase to Phase 2" を作曲。さらにリハーサルを続け、最終的にレコーディングをおこなった。本CDにはこの２曲 (28分と17分) を収録。Katie Porter はバス・クラリネットと E♭ コントラバス・クラリネットを、Lucio Capece はバス・クラリネットを使用している。
