Nothing on the record is played by hand. Denuc built a Max/MSP sequencer that speaks OpenSoundControl straight to the stops, manuals and pedals, which retires the ten-finger problem and lets him write clusters no organist could reach. He miked the room widely enough that the concrete contributes its own decay to every track. The origin is the best part: two years ago a listener in Belgium sent him a phone video from a wedding on Menorca, where the church organist was playing "Infinite End", the opening track of Denuc's 2022 album Nachthorn. He treated that as a commission. The opener here, "Hallucinogen", lifts a fragment of Simon Posford's trance staple "LSD" and maps it onto pipework. The title comes from a shuttered beach club on the Tuscan coast. Raphaël Hénard produced and mixed in Brussels; Giuseppe Ielasi cut the master. Ten tracks, two LPs, and a year of standing appointments. 杜塞道夫 Oberkassel 的 Sankt Antonius 教堂，樂長給了他一整年、每月三到四天的使用權。他索性在教堂附近租下一間小公寓，每天九點坐到五點，中間停手讓彌撒進行，散場再回到琴前；不錄音的日子回工作室聽帶、改方案。十首曲子全部由管風琴發聲，卻沒有一個音出自人手——控制端是他自建的 Max/MSP 序列器，經 OpenSoundControl 直接驅動音栓、鍵盤與踏板，寫出十根手指按不到的音群，收音則用多麥克風把混凝土牆的殘響一併錄進去。這件事的起點相當偶然：兩年前一位比利時聽眾傳給他一段梅諾卡島婚禮的影片，畫面裡的教堂管風琴師正在彈他二〇二二年《Nachthorn》的開場曲〈Infinite End〉。開場的〈Hallucinogen〉取樣了 Simon Posford 那首 trance 名曲〈LSD〉的一小段，映射到音栓上。專輯名來自托斯卡尼海岸一家早已歇業的海灘夜店。製作與混音 Raphaël Hénard，於布魯塞爾 La Savonnerie；母帶 Giuseppe Ielasi。

The only album here released today. Yamanaka recorded in New York with Yoshi Waki on bass and John Davis on drums, and of the ten tracks she wrote exactly one, "Beverly". The rest is a programme: Keith Jarrett's "Memories of Tomorrow", Carla Bley's "Lawns", a choro by Amilton Godoy, "Blue in Green". And then, eighth in the running order, "Jingle Bells" — seated between George Russell's "Living Time Event V" and Eliane Elias's "Impulsive", on a record dated the thirtieth of September. Universal presents the album as a summary of twenty-five years of live repertoire, which accounts for the spread but not the carol. Two reissues of her older work appeared the same day; this is the only new recording among the three. 今天唯一一張當天發行的碟。紐約錄音，三重奏是 Yoshi Waki 的貝斯與 John Davis 的鼓。十首裡她自己寫的只有〈Beverly〉，其餘選曲從 Keith Jarrett 的〈Memories of Tomorrow〉排到 Carla Bley 的〈Lawns〉、Amilton Godoy 的 choro，再到 Bill Evans 與 Miles Davis 的〈Blue in Green〉。真正讓人停一下的是第八軌：〈Jingle Bells〉。前面是 George Russell 的〈Living Time Event V〉，後面是 Eliane Elias 的〈Impulsive〉，中間夾一首聖誕歌，而這張的發行日是九月三十。官方說法是音樂生涯二十五週年的曲目總結。同日環球另外重發了她兩張舊作，這張是三者裡唯一的新錄音。

Two pieces, one per side, twelve musicians to bring them off. "Hidden Tableau" begins with Eiko Ishibashi (石橋英子) at the piano and then hands its lead voice to a synthetic one, built and operated by Konrad Sprenger, who also produced — the same division of labour as Shebang. On the flip, most of the middle of "Sleight of Hand" is erased by a digital synth solo from Marcus Pal, and the same side makes room for Michiko Ogawa's (小川美果) shō and a small collection of early keyboards played by James Rushford. The last sound on the album is Isak Hedtjärn whistling. Drag City has it on vinyl and CD. Whether the whistle is a punchline or a sign-off, I couldn't tell you yet. 兩首曲子，一面一首：A 面〈Hidden Tableau〉，B 面〈Sleight of Hand〉。為這兩首出動十二位樂手，名單裡有石橋英子、Jim O'Rourke、Johan Berthling、Will Guthrie、小川美果。A 面的主奏樂器是一個合成人聲，由 Konrad Sprenger 製造並操控，他同時掛製作，延續《Shebang》那次的分工；開場則是石橋英子的鋼琴。B 面走到中段被 Marcus Pal 的數位合成 solo 整段蓋掉，同面還有小川美果的笙與 James Rushford 的一批古鍵盤，最後收在 Isak Hedtjärn 的口哨上。這個收法得再聽兩遍才知道算不算玩笑。

Easterling wrote more than thirty songs about her father's side of the family and kept twelve. The two she kept returning to were Narcissus Beck Middleton and her grown daughter Mary Middleton Orr, whose husbands deserted the Confederate units they were serving in out of sympathy for the North, sending both women to Knoxville. That flight is the whole cycle. Three separate arts bodies paid for it: the South Carolina Arts Commission, the John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts Fund, and the Metropolitan Arts Council. She put it out herself, streaming only. 為了寫父系家族史，她先寫了三十多首，最後留下十二首成盤。主角是兩個真實的祖輩：Narcissus Beck Middleton 與她已成年的女兒 Mary Middleton Orr。兩人的丈夫因為同情北方，從自己所屬的南軍部隊逃走，母女倆於是往 Knoxville 避難。整張就是這趟路。經費來自三處並列：South Carolina Arts Commission、John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts Fund、Metropolitan Arts Council。自主發行，目前只有串流。

Grace Williams's song cycle Billows of the Sea was commissioned in 1969 by the Guild for the Promotion of Welsh Music and first performed that year at the Swansea Festival, after which it waited fifty-seven years for a microphone. It runs twenty-one minutes and nine seconds across four movements, a third of this sixty-eight-minute disc. Elsewhere, the earliest of the Elizabeth Maconchy songs dates from when she was seventeen and still a student at the Royal College. The title is literal rather than decorative: Fredegond Shove, whose four poems Vaughan Williams set here, was his niece by marriage, and the Four Last Songs on the same disc use texts by his second wife, Ursula. The label is Albion, run by the Vaughan Williams Society, which is how a fifty-seven-year gap gets closed at all. 整張的重心是 Grace Williams 的聯篇歌曲《Billows of the Sea》首度錄音。一九六九年由 Guild for the Promotion of Welsh Music 委託、同年在斯旺西音樂節首演，之後就沒有再進錄音室，中間隔了五十七年。全長二十一分零九秒，四個樂章，一首歌佔掉這張六十八分鐘專輯的三分之一。Elizabeth Maconchy 那組歌裡最早的一首，寫於她十七歲還在皇家音樂學院念書的時候。標題那兩個詞是實指：《Four Poems by Fredegond Shove》的作詞者是佛漢・威廉斯的姻親姪女，詩出自她一九一八年的詩集《Dreams and Journeys》；同碟《Four Last Songs》的歌詞來自他第二任妻子 Ursula。

Only one of the eleven songs, the seventh, was written from nothing in the studio: Sabrina Teitelbaum and guitarist Sam Stewart put "Two Fried" together on the spot, and she says it came easiest of all of them. Third album with Yves Rothman, first one where she chose the microphones, the EQ and the vocal treatments herself. The press sheet offers Gang of Four, Teenage Fanclub, The Go-Betweens and Sade as reference points, which is a lot to promise. 十一首裡只有第七軌〈Two Fried〉是在錄音室從零寫成的，跟吉他手 Sam Stewart 當場合寫，她說那是整張最好寫的一首。第三度與 Yves Rothman 合作，這次她自己指定人聲效果、EQ 與麥克風。廠牌資料把 Gang of Four、Teenage Fanclub、The Go-Betweens 和 Sade 並列在同一句話裡。

Insula orchestra 與 Insula Camerata 兩個團合起來演奏，配器由 Equilbey 親自為雙樂團改寫，軌名上直接寫著 Arr. for Double Orchestra by Laurence Equilbey。依據是十九世紀音樂節的實際慣例：那種場合的樂團規模常常超過一百人，廠牌明說貝多芬寫作時心裡想的就是這個編制。古樂器團這回把人數加倍。數位端當初切成兩張分開發：第五號二月先出，第七號九月十一日才補上，這張 CD 是兩首第一次進到同一張盤裡。

A major-label debut that turns up as a double album, which is not the standard way to introduce a duo. Disc one faces outward; disc two is ten tracks of what the label calls edit music, travelling from musique concrète through hard minimal to ambient. Rico and Mei met in the light-music club of the same Sapporo high school. The experimental composer 網守将平 (Shohei Amimori) co-produced and 葛西敏彦 engineered, a heavy pair of names for a first record. "golden lighter" passes seven minutes. The limited edition carries a unisex T-shirt designed by 岡本太玖斗, a forty-page photo zine the two of them shot themselves, and hand-painted stickers. 大廠出道作直接交一張雙碟：Disc 1 對外，Disc 2 是十首自己剪的 edit music 集。二人組 Rico 與 Mei 是札幌同一所高中輕音樂部的同學。共同製作掛實驗作曲家網守將平，錄音工程是葛西敏彥——對一組剛出道的團來說是很重的班底。〈golden lighter〉一首超過七分鐘。初回限定盤的特典是岡本太玖鬥設計的 unisex T-shirt、成員自製的四十頁攝影 ZINE，以及手塗貼紙。
