Label: and/OAR - and46
激激オススメ！！and/OAR主宰者Dale Lloydが新たに立ち上げた、様々な作家の古い未発表曲や発掘音源をネタに新たな楽曲を生み出していく不定形創作プロジェクトSearch Ensembles。具体的な形が見えない非常に興味深いプロジェクトであり、参加者もAlan Courtis、Slavek Kwi、Jani Hirvonen、Jon Tulchin、Cedric Peyronnet等々、様々な方面から集まった全14名。神秘やら古代などをコンセプトにしている様で、出て来る音が妙に埃っぽくて古臭い、やはりDale Lloydからこそ可能な独特の歪んだテクチャー。これはヤバイ。限定150部。マスト。

Below is a compiled selection of samples from the album.
Search Ensembles is a new evocative project of and/OAR founder / operator
Dale Lloyd presenting "sonic archeology", unearthing forgotten and
previously unreleased recordings from project participants' archives, plus
new recordings to create a conceptually cohesive album. The name "Search
Ensembles" is a play on the term "search parties" which means: "groups of
people conducting an organized search for someone or something lost or
hidden." This first offering comes across as a collection of inexplicable field
recordings pointing toward a mysterious ancient past - of people around the
world, some of which we still know next to nothing about; some of which
were able to accomplish feats still not properly explained or replicated to this
day. After this first release, the intention for Search Ensembles is to continue
sonic explorations inspired by, and/or pertaining to various mysteries around
the world (and perhaps beyond).

- Alan Courtis: field recordings
