Sparkling and sublime sampleadelic
loveliness from Jan Jelinek sounding
like a cross between Martin Denny's
Exotica albums, Raymond Scott and
Farben!* G.E.S. is the latest recording
project of Jan Jelinek with a focus on
exploring sampled matter and the art of
plunderphonics. As Jelinek himself
explains it: "On 'Circulations': The
idea for this audio collage emerged from
random recordings of pop songs played
through the PA of a fairground carousel.
Picture the scene: Bumper cars racing to
Bruce Springsteen's 'Born In The USA', a
carousel turning to Marvin Gaye's
'Sexual Healing', but also projector
sounds in the cinema or the sine
generators of a sound installation: all
of these are recordings of public space.
And yet, they contain not only the
ambient sounds of their specific point
of origin, but also a discrete and
distinct recognisable moment. We will
always be able to decipher and
disassociate 'Sexual Healing' from the
random noise of public space,
irrespective of location. To what extent
does the recording process affect
potential copyright claims? Are Marvin
Gaye's publishers entitled to royalties
because the recording of a merry-go-
round conveys traces of "Sexual
Healing"? 'Circulations' aims to restage
this particular recording premise.
Playback devices are placed in public
space and broadcast the desired sampling
material. The recordings bear witness to
music in public space. Even where
authorship is still recognisable, the
resulting field recordings relegate
music to a casual, circulating
background element - just one event
among many, equal to the ambient
acoustics, casual conversations and
traffic noise. Do the rules of copyright
still apply?". Despite the conceptual
dimension of the material, the album
itself is delightfully sparkling and
evocative and, for our money, the finest
thing released by this producer since
the remarkable "La Nouvelle PauvretΘ"
back in 2003.
