ﾌﾗﾝｽ人作曲家 sylvain chauveau の正式なｱﾙﾊﾞﾑとしてはﾃﾞﾍﾟｯｼｭﾓｰﾄﾞのｶﾊﾞｰ･ｱﾙﾊﾞﾑ『Down To The Bone』以来､実に5年ぶりとなる新作です｡その間､ｻﾝﾄﾗやｺﾗﾎﾞﾚｰｼｮﾝなど､ｺﾝｽﾀﾝﾄにﾘﾘｰｽ（再発含む）をしてきましたが､彼は本作で自らのｱｲﾃﾞｱを実現するために意図的に時間をかけました｡ｳﾞｫｰｶﾙとﾒﾛﾃﾞｨｰが満載ではあるものの､味のあるｾｸｼｰなｳﾞｫｰｶﾙの欠片はｽﾃﾚｵ音場を通り抜けていき､彼の音楽の特徴とも言えるﾋﾟｱﾉの主題は､ﾃﾞｼﾞﾀﾙ･ﾌﾟﾛｾｯｼﾝｸﾞによってﾊﾟﾁﾊﾟﾁというﾉｲｽﾞまみれにされています｡例えばｶｰﾙｽﾃﾝ･ﾆｺﾗｲや坂本龍一がｸﾗｼｯｸ音楽の解体を行ったように､彼のﾙｰﾂであるﾎﾟｯﾌﾟ･ﾐｭｰｼﾞｯｸを解体しようという試みがなされています｡sylvain chauveau のﾋﾟｱﾉ曲のﾌｧﾝを置いてけぼりにするかのような大胆不敵で革新的な意欲作｡鳥肌が立つような美しさにあらゆる言葉をなくしてしまいます｡
info:
It is hard to believe that five years have passed since French composer Sylvain Chauveau's last "proper" album. Of course, there have been re-issues peppering the years since Down To The Bone, as well as more than a few collaborations and soundtrack appearances, but Sylvain has purposefully waited to allow his ideas to come to fruition. The Depeche Mode songs he had explored on Down To The Bone had given him ideas he felt he needed to explore, and Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated) is his attempt at an album of "songs." In many ways, this album is constructed the way albums used to be -- it is compact and filled with vocal hooks and melodies, yet Sylvain has deconstructed the musical forms he grew up listening to and reduced them to their base level. Vocal snippets fall through the stereo field and his signature piano motifs splutter and cough through processed digital hiccups. As Carsten Nicolai and Ryuichi Sakamoto deconstructed classical music, Sylvain attempts here to study and dissolve the roots of popular music. Each piece feels like it could have started as a 3-minute pop sing-along before the accompaniments were stripped away and the component parts reduced to merely a backbone. Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated) is a daring and challenging listening experience. The widescreen theatrics of Sylvain's previous work have all but disappeared, leaving an album that is stark and incredibly beautiful. It is an album rooted in a love of art and music, both minimal and mainstream and celebrates Sylvain's influences. One listen might only reveal surface details, but listen again and you will find much, much more.
