A beautiful composition from David that was commissioned as an
installation piece by the Naoshima Fukutake Art Museum
Foundation on the island of Naoshima, Japan as part of the
NAOSHIMA STANDARD 2 exhibition which ran from Oct 2006 to
April 2007.
When loud weather buffeted Naoshima was commissioned by the
Naoshima Fukutake Art Museum Foundation on the island of
Naoshima, Japan as part of the NAOSHIMA STANDARD 2 exhibition
which ran from Oct 2006 to April 2007. The composition is site
specific. In fact Sylvian has said that the work isn't really
complete until the sounds of the town Honmura are incorporated
into the listening experience. For the samadhisound release of
When Loud Weather... Sylvian has incorporated some of the
sounds of the island into the final mix. Whilst this obviously
doesn't compare to the experience of listening to the work in
situ it goes someway towards creating an echo of it. In the
process Sylvian's created a piece which might find new and
interesting interpretations in a variety of unanticipated
contexts.
This release will only be made available in a limited edition
format (a DVD digipak beautifully designed by our own Chris
Bigg with cover art by Sachiyo Tsurumi) for a limited time
after which it will be deleted from the catalogue. As the
Foundation have decided to make the audio a part of the
permanent collection on the island it will be there that the
work will remain accessible once the samadhisound edition is
ended.
The recording was performed by an ensemble of musicians: Clive
Bell, Christian Fennesz, Arve Henriksen, Akira Rabelais, and
David Sylvian.
David composed, recorded, and produced the work at
samadhisound studio 2006. A final mix of the material for this
edition was completed in Jan 07.
