東京作曲、實驗弦樂家 Atsuko Hatano 波多野敦子所領導的弦樂 project TRIOLA 最新專輯。
《Scapegoat》 是一齣虛構的歌劇,以音樂與詩歌的方式呈現整部劇的十一個場戲,優雅的弦樂與打擊樂交織成動人的故事,在音符的流動中探索光影、空間、孤獨、自我實現和重生等... 主題。這張新作的客座音樂人非常精彩,其中包括了芝加哥怪傑製作人 Jim ORourke 以及電影「在車上」的作曲家石橋英子。
Scapegoat is the new album by TRIOLA, the project led by the prolific Tokyo-based composer & experimental string musician Atsuko Hatano, featuring the Japanese violinist Anzu Suhara.
Conceived as a string project, with Hatano on viola, cello, bass and Suhara on violin, TRIOLA involves a rotating ensemble of guest musicians, including the likes of Chicago-born musician, composer & producer Jim O Rourke (Drag City, Sonic Youth, Steamroom), the composer & musician Eiko Ishibashi (Drag City, Black Truffle), Australian composer Joe Talia (Touch, Room40, Feeding Tube Records), Yamaguchi-born drummer Tatsuhisa Yamamoto (releases on Black Truffle, Longform Editions, SUPERPANG, performances with Keiji Haino, Oren Ambarchi & Phew +++), Sendai-based vocalist & musician Koji Shibuya (Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Yumbo) & many more.
Scapegoat follows the 2019 album release by TRIOLA entitled Chiral, and although recorded as an instrumental opus, Scapegoat is described by Hatano as an imaginary opera, comprising eleven scenes connected by one overarching drama, with a song or a poem scripted for each composition. Exploring the symbolism of light, space, and precious gemstones, as well as themes of solitude, memory, self-fulfilment, self-deception, rebirth, and reinvention, TRIOLA masterfully shape exquisite, free-flowing movements of strings and percussion, marked by subtle infiltrations of aleatoric electronics and found sound.
