クリストフ・シャルル
彼のイメージ、テキ ストは「被害者」の祈りに過ぎない。
偽りなき祈りは常に美しい、のだろう。たぶん。
彼 の祈りが詩となり歌に変わるかどうか、それはまだわからない。
テーリさんの謂う「世界で最も宗教色のうすい社会のひとつである」日本に住む我々は、いまや怖れと直面している。
そして、その怖れは、『Traffic With the Devil/悪魔との取引』に登場する「幽霊」の存在を意識せざるをえない。
我々こそがいまや世界で「幽霊」になり始めているからだ。
図らずもなのか、図られたことなのか。
スピリチャリズムや不可知論や陰謀論もより身近に沸き起こるこの国で、そのすべてを否定する映像と音と言葉はどう届くのか。
賛否両論出るだろう。まずは観るべきだ。 World Record As of November 18, 2010, The Guinness Book of World Records officially declined the creation of the category "Longest music album (non-compilation, new release)," so we will not have their certification on this project. (Their rejection was a standard form letter stating they favor categories with more active competition and of greater public interest.) However, this does not alter the fact that at the time of its release on May 31, 2012, Soulnessless is, to the best of our research, the world's longest album.
UPDATE - APRIL 4, 2012: I just found out about ITB Noise, by JLIAT (a.k.a. James Whiteheat), completed in February 2012, which spans 233 DVD-R's and has a total running time of 711 days 14 hours. [Insert sound of baloon deflating.] Given that ITB Noise is an edition of one, and functions more as an archival art object, for the sake of argument I will continue clinging to my definition of an "album" as something produced in bulk for distribution, and imagine his piece changes nothing. ;) JLIAT is currently working on a 2TB project called 19 Million Tracks, with plans for 23 Million Tracks (2.7TB, each track is 6 sec.), 30 Million Tracks (3.4TB), and 37 Million Tracks (4.2TB). For those who are thinking smaller is better, don't bother... JLIAT has also released the shortest possible piece using PCM data, 1/44100 of a second.
