Terre Thaemlitz: Snowflakes & Dog Whistles (Best Electroacoustic Ambient & Sexpanic 1995-2017) | CD | December 1 2024 | C.035

1995年から2017年にかけて制作されたテーリ・テムリッツの最高のエレクトロアコースティック・アンビエントおよびコンピューターミュージック作品29曲をコンパイルした2枚組CD。このリリースでのみ入手可能な特別編集曲も多数含まれています。これらのトラックの大半は、何年もの間物理的に絶版となっていました。元々は、Mille Plateaux、Daisyworld Discs (YMOの細野晴臣のプライベートレーベル)、Instinct Ambient、Caipirinha Productions、そしてもちろんテムリッツ自身のComatonse Recordingsなど、さまざまなレーベルからリリースされていました。最初のディスク「Snowflakes」は、より伝統的なアンビエント、あるいは「きれい」なトラックに焦点を当てています。2枚目のディスク「Dog Whistles」は、性別や性的多様性のテーマにもっと明らかに関連する、混沌としたサンプルやサウンドの配列をフィーチャーしたトラックをコンパイルしています。テキスト(英語のみ)


 
Snowflakes & Dog Whistles: Best Electroacoustic Ambient & Sexpanic 1995-2017 is a double-CD compiling twenty-nine of Terre Thaemlitz' best electroacoustic ambient and computer music works produced between 1995 to 2017, including many special edits only available on this release. The majority of these tracks have been physically out of print for decades, and were originally released on a variety of labels including Mille Plateaux, Daisyworld Discs (Haruomi Hosono of YMO's private imprint), Instinct Ambient, Caipirinha Productions, and of course Thaemlitz' own Comatonse Recordings. The first disc, Snowflakes, focuses on tracks that are more conventionally ambient or perhaps even "pretty." Dog Whistles, the second disc, compiles tracks featuring a chaotic array of samples and sounds that are more overtly related to themes of gender- and sexual variance.

Thaemlitz frames the tracks with a new 9000 word essay spread across two large posters, providing a basic introduction to the underlying topics, ideas, contexts and histories behind electroacoustic ambient - both as a genre in the broader sense, and in specific relation to her own work. From the text:

    Most of the questions posed over the years in these tracks remain in tension with contemporary mainstream views, including those coming from the LGBT establishment. In this way, one might say a thread running through my projects is that they remain "unlistenable" to most. Any potential critical use value of these tracks emerges from understanding how they are utterly symptomatic of a particular social system - even in their dissonance. Or, to be more precise, because of their dissonance.

Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes two CDs in an archival vinyl pouch with two double-sided insert cards (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeves, and two 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).
