Deux voix fortes et distinctes: du long déploiement des canons de Skempton aux hoquets immuables de Kondo. Jo Kondo: «Ce qui m’intéresse, ce sont les mots plus que les phrases, les phrases plus que les paragraphes, les paragraphes plus que la page. Ainsi, on pourrait dire que, dans la musique, je suis davantage préoccupé par chaque son que par les phrases qu’ils engendrent.» Howard Skempton: «Le pouvoir qu’a la musique d’inspirer la confiance est plus qu’égalé par sa capacité à réduire l’anxiété. Grâce à la musique, le temps cesse de nous manipuler… On peut faire échec au temps par l’usage de la répétition, ou encore par le silence, ce dernier refuge de la minutie.»

Two contemporary artists, each strong and distinct. Skempton’s expansive canons offset Kondo’s continuous hockets. Jo Kondo: “I am interested in words more than in sentences, in sentences more than in paragraphs, in paragraphs more than in a whole page. Thus, it could be said that in music I am more concerned with each sound than with the phrases they create.” Howard Skempton: “The power of music to inspire confidence is more than equalled by its ability to alleviate anxiety. Through music we are no longer manipulated by time… We can stem the tide of time through the practice of repetition; or through silence, the last refuge of the fastidious.”

Each disc is a window, an opening into a singular world: the soul of a place, a common artistic language, or the distinct vision of an artist. ... more
