Please join us for the LP release show for the new Ayami Suzuki and Rob Noyes LP on Feeding Tube Records, "Classic Fevers & Chills". Also featuring a solo set by Mark Sadgrove (Greymouth).
8月上旬入荷予定。東京を拠点に活動する声の即興家Ayami SuzukiとギタリストRob Noyesが初めて出会い、わずか1時間ほどの即興セッションで録音されたという奇跡のデュオ作品『Classic Fevers and Chills』。事前に作曲も打ち合わせもせず、Rob Noyes自身が「ギターのチューニングだけ変えて、そのまま録った」と語っているにもかかわらず、7曲それぞれに明確な表情があり、まるで長年のデュオのような呼吸の一致が感じられる。声とアコースティック・ギターだけという最小限の編成ながら、静けさの中に濃密な緊張と温度が宿る。Ayami Suzukiの声は、言葉と息のあいだで、祈りのような響きから、風景の一部のような微細な音まで自在に変化。Rob Noyesのギターはラガ風のフレーズやタコマ系フィンガーピッキングが流れるように展開し、倍音が空間に広がる。録音は極めて生々しく、目の前で演奏しているような距離感の近さと、夢の中の民謡のような不思議な時間の流れが生まれている。-- meditations.jp
| "Glorious vinylization of this 2022duo session, originally issued as a cassette, documenting the first time Suzuki and Noyes ever collaborated. Ayami Suzuki has become known to cognoscenti for her brilliantly imagined vocal improvisations, through recordings with like-minded folks such as French vocalist/polymath Delphine Dora and avant hurdy gurdy player, TOMO. Rob Noyes has developed a parallel reputation as a master third-generation acoustic guitarist in the post-Takoma tradition. Originally based in the U.S. he wisely relocated to Tokyo several years ago. Which is where this meeting took place, and while I initially assumed the music had been composed to some degree. Rob assured me that was not true. He says, 'I think the recording can seem like something we took a lot of time with and discussed/composed to some degree, but we actually just agreed to meet at a rehearsal studio. It took a little more than an hour to track it all, without ever having played together before or even really discussing the approach we were going to take. I just tuned my guitar to a different tuning for each one and we let it roll.' The results kinda speak for themselves, but I was blown away by the notion they had never collaborated previously. The intimate nature of their blend recalls such long-time collusionists as Tim Buckley & Lee Underwood or Loren Connors & Suzanne Langille. Rob's delicate instrumental arcs create a perfect net for Ayami's vocals, which are usually wordless (although they always feel weighted with emotional content). It's a mesmeric pairing of voices. Which I can only hope is the first of many. Classic Fevers and Chills is a perfect soundtrack for spring, unconditionally magical." --Byron Coley, 2026 |
