水の調音音声学。フィールド録音された具体音による作曲を行うアメリカの音響作家Scott Gibbons（スコット・ギボンズ）。石（1992年）、空気（1995年）に続く、単一素材のエレクトロ・アコースティック作「エレメント・シリーズ」第３弾の素材は水。メキシコ湾、ミシシッピ川、ミシガン湖、ミネハハ瀑布などで録音された音を、音響合成機器やトラディショナルな楽器を使用せずに、手製の電気コントローラーと最小限のフィルター効果により加工。本作は97年のアルス・エレクトロニカと、98年のコマンディーニ劇場、２カ所でのライブ音源をコラージュ。環境から切り取られ、強調された水の音韻によって構築されるダイナミックな音のストラクチャ。Gibbons氏は「サブベース・ドローンのマスター」と称され、オーディオ技術でも注目される存在のようです。

ICFW uses source audio and video recordings from Oceans-Rivers-lakes-waterfalls-etc, modified using analog & digital filters and effects, and only minimal computer processing to produce startling ar/rhythmic, timbrally rich, and microtonal music without synthesizers or traditional instruments. Homemade electronic controllers direct many of the effects. Featured at the 1997 ARS Electronica Festival (Linz).
bio.
Scott Gibbons has been composing electronic music for nearly 20 years, with a two-fold exploration into the possibilities of natural acoustic sound on the one hand, and those of audio technology on the other. His compositions demonstrate an acute balance between delicacy and physicality, often focusing around frequencies that are at the outermost limits of human hearing, and embracing quietness as a central element. Cited by many as a seminal composer of micromusic and ambient 'isolationist' music, his early releases based only on the sound of stones and wind received praise from all over the world. - discogs
