about

With his first release on “Purre Goohn”, Prcls composed two ambient poems. "Jupiter Slopes" is a drone music piece that revives the unique warmth of the analog synth Roland Jupiter 4. While being delicately modulated by loopers and space echoes, the layers of the sound circulate slowly, and they gradually become multi-layered and grow like a light shining through a crack in a door.

 In "Rustling Time", a live performance of an electric piano unfolds gently together with field recordings. It's a sound of a gentle breeze that shakes time and also a sound that makes you feel somehow nostalgic, like a scene of children’s room comes to your mind and then disappears.  Prcls freely manipulates soundscapes, loops, piano and synthesizer’s material beauty. His live performance suddenly becomes magical and at the same time, it sounds like a sign of the moment when something new is about to begin. 

Prcls（プリッツェルス）は、サンプリング技術とライブ演奏によって集団的記憶に潜り込む男であり、「異時間」の住人である。古い機材の素材美、不規則なリズムとグリッチーなメロディーを重ね合わせる彼のサウンドスケープは、この時代から消えたテクノロジーや過去に存在していたであろう未来の夢を再浮上させる。
Purre Goohnからの初リリースとなる本作品で、彼はふたつの＜アンビエント・ポエム＞を構成した。「Jupiter Slopes」はアナログシンセRoland Jupiter 4に固有のぬくもり感を活かしたドローン作品である。ルーパーとスペースエコーによって細やかなモジュレーションを受けながらスローモーションに循環していくその音声のレイヤーは、徐々に重層化し、ドアの隙間から差し込む光のように大きくなっていく。
「Rustling Time」では、電気ピアノのライブ演奏がフィールドレコーディングとともに緩やかに展開する。それは「時間」を揺らがせるそよ風の音であり、子供部屋の情景が記憶にぽつぽつと浮かび上がってはまた消えていくような妙な懐かしさを感じさせる音でもある。音景、ループ、ピアノやシンセサイザーの素材美を自由自在にあやつるPrclsのライブ演奏はにわかに呪術的であり、同時にそれは、新しい何かが始まろうとする瞬間の予兆にも聴こえてくる。
