"And still, a resonance" is the first recorded collaboration between pianist Marty Hicks and trumpeter Audrey Powne, released on Tokyo-based boutique label aloeswood_records.

A product of Marty and Audrey's close musical companionship that stretches back more than 15 years, "And still, a resonance" brings together original compositions by the two musicians for piano, trumpet and electronics, recorded live in Tokyo over the course of a day.

Sweeping piano gestures compliment subtle brass textures throughout long-form suites such as 'Owlfactory', and soft electronic soundscapes elevate both thundering piano chords and soaring trumpet phrases in 'A Modicum of Hope'.

There are substantial spaces between these carefully places notes and sounds - much like the lost time that has slipped away from these two musicians, living now far away from each other and their home countries - but when the music happens once more, still there is resonance.

オーストラリア・メルボルン出身でそれぞれ東京とロンドンに現在在住しているピアニストのMarty Hicksとトランペット奏者のAudrey Powneが奏でる、初のデュオアルバム作品。

15年以上にわたる二人の親密な音楽的関係の結晶として生まれた本作は、ピアノ、トランペット、そしてエレクトロニクスのために両者が書き下ろしたオリジナル作品を東京の録音スタジオで収録し、Marty氏が主宰するミニレーベル「aloeswood_records」にてリリース。

『Owlfactory』では流麗に広がるピアノの身振りが繊細なトランペットのテクスチャーと呼応し、『A Modicum of Hope』では、柔らかな電子音響のサウンドスケープが、轟くピアノの和音や高らかに舞い上がるトランペットのフレーズをいっそう引き立てる。

慎重に配置された音と音のあいだには、たっぷりとした余白がある。それはまるで、いまや互いに、そしてそれぞれの祖国から遠く離れて暮らす二人のあいだを静かにすり抜けていった時間のようだ。それでもなお、音楽がふたたび立ち上がるとき、そこには確かな「共鳴(resonance)」が残される。
