Im neuen Jahr erscheint der erste Longplayer der an der Universtiy of California in San Diego tätigen chinesischen Komponistin Ni Zheng unter dem Titel “Body of Immanence” – eine fünf Tracks umfassende Folge intensiver, elektroakustischer Soundnarrative basierend auf unterschiedlichen Klangquellen, zu denen auch die mal geflüsterte, mal gehauchte, mal heftige Schreie ausstoßende Stimme der Künstlerin zählt. Syrphe Records, die das Album auf 100 CDs und digital herausbringen, heißt es zu den alptraumhaften Szenarien “Whether you enjoy academic electroacoustic music, dark ambient, ambient industrial and so-called experimental music, this album might well please your ears”. Das Album erscheint am 2. Januar.
“Ni Zheng is a sound artist and composer of electroacoustic music and musique concrete. She creates sonic rituals and explores an artistic praxis that calls for a descent into the untamed territory, dwells in the repressed emotions and intuitive senses, and invites cathartic and therapeutic experiences. Her work is devoted to endorsing immanence and absolute knowledge, nurturing and celebrating the mysterious alliance with the invisible realm of nature, and igniting a meditative or mystical state of ecstasy. Her medium of communication includes sounds gathered through field recordings, voices of human and non-human animals, found objects, electronic and acoustic instruments. ” (Syrphe)
