美術 : MAVO(マヴォ)








マヴォとは村山知義や柳瀬正夢らによって1923年7月に結成された前衛芸術集団で、当初は未来派の流れを 汲むメンバー構成であったが、よりラジカルに既成の価値観、芸術観、あるいは道徳観念すらも破壊する活 動を行った。機関紙「マヴォ」などによる印刷メディアによる複製芸術、ハプニングの要素を取入れたパフ ォーマンス,廃物を集積したような建築モデルなどの当時としては新奇な方法は常にセンセーショナルな話 題を巻き起こした。また結成直後に襲った関東大震災直後にはパフォーマンスを伴ったバラック装飾を行っ たことも知られる。 しかし、集団としては1925年までで、破壊から社会へ向けての構成,プロレタリア思想への傾斜などの意識 の変遷を要因とした離合集散が行われた。 当初の中心人物であった村山知義は、絵本などグラフィックアート、プロレタリア演劇の舞台装置などへの 関与など分野を超えた活動を行った人物であり、こうした活動の延長上で行われたマヴォによる震災バラッ クなどの建築は当時の既成の建築の通念では計測し難い行為であったと思われ、建築の領域に対する疑問符 をこの時代に提示した意義は大きいと感ずる。

Notes
Recorded in 2002, the first recorded album by Marsfield.

Limited to 300 copies on 180 gramme vinyl in handmade sleeve with embossed metallic wrap and wide obi.

Flavour text written by Brendan Walls for the press release:

"Shortly after the Second World War, a medical facility for returned soldiers was built in the small town of Marsfield.

The patients were in some way incapacitated by that great and monstrous war; some missing limbs, some deafened or blinded by explosions, others driven out of their senses.

A few muttered old military secrets, a few sang long-forgotten ballads, a few built small ships inside milk bottles; others walked the corridors and grounds, scanning every dark corner for an unseen but ever present enemy.

It was not an unhappy place; there was a sense of deep friendship amongst the patients, bound as they were by the collective hell of battle. One of the most popular amongst the men was Lieutenant Wilson. He was no more than a Lance Corporal but earned the nickname Lieutenant during his stay at the home. Wilson had the remarkable ability to receive radio signals through the metal plate in his head. He would touch a metal window frame or steel bed head, incline his head at oblique angles, open his mouth and a sort of popping static would emanate from within his dark mouth. Subtle manipulations of his jaw, the inclination of his head or his physical location in the room would alter the signals he received.

As it happened he was the longest surviving member of the facility. When it was decommissioned in 2000, he was to be moved to a neighbouring hospital to see out his final days. Wilson resolutely refused to be moved. Barricading himself in his room, he declined food, water and medical attention until he was eventually moved to the west wing of the home and cared for by a rotation of staff members from the nearby hospital. He finally passed away in the later months of 2002 when this album was recorded."

Robert Haigh 'Anonymous Lights' CD
Siren Records : Siren 019
Release date : (23 September 2010)
In the early 1980's Robert Haigh released several highly acclaimed albums under the name of SEMA on his own label Le Rey Records. His 2009 release Notes and Crossings (Siren Records) consisted of 14 pieces of both written and improvised piano music and a quite magnificent return to the timeless piano sound of his 80's classics. It was favorably received among not only long-time SEMA listeners, but also those who love works by Erik Satie, Steve Reich and Harold Budd.
'Anonymous Lights' is Robert Haigh's new album, that develops the sound of Notes and Crossings. The album is comprised of 14 tracks, one of which (the concluding track, Book of Fixed Stars is over 11 minutes long. The formats are similar to Notes and Crossings, short minimal compositions with a contemporary classical feel in places, but the album attempts to breaks a few tonal and compositional rules within the conventions of minimal piano composition. There are some subtle twists of melody and atonality at work and in some ways 'Anonymous Lights' is a more personal and mature work than Notes and Crossings.
The album was mastered by Denis Blackham at Skye Mastering. In an edition 500 copies with hand-made miniature jacket sleeve + Japanese Obi designed by Faraway Press.
