商品の紹介
| Black Decelerant consists of Charleston, South Carolina-based Khari Lucas (aka experimental neo-soul artist Contour, and collaborator with Loraine James and Niecy Blues) and abstract hip-hop producer Omari Jazz. They describe their duo as a meditation on Black being and non-being, taking the projects name from an article by Aria Dean titled Notes on Blacceleration, while acknowledging their musics intended purpose as something that will encourage listeners to slow down and reflect on socio-political issues. The music can be described as ambient jazz, as the duo combine sample-based production with improvisation, painting expansive textural washes while seamlessly incorporating live playing. All of the pieces on their debut album (the second volume of RVNG Intl.s collaborative series Reflections) are numerically titled, but not numerically sequenced, and "one" (track two) is a trippy, sometimes reversed rush of synths and pianos anchored by bass guitar. "six" feels like a gentle decay, with its melting glitches and somewhat playful smear of warm, buzzing synth notes. The brief "seven 1/2" loops a quote about "inner self-realization," taken from the public affairs television program Black Journal. Its the only voice heard on the album, and the only message within the music that provides a sort of guidepost for the listeners rumination. "five" has weightless guitar and bass floating through a drift of sweeping waves, harp-like flutters, and sudden tape contractions. "two" and "eight" both feature Jawwaad Taylors spacious trumpet playing, though he sounds so distant on "eight" that he might as well be floating away on a cloud. None of the pieces have any beats or percussion, but even without any rhythmic drive, "four" seems to have a more forceful sense of movement and propulsion than the others. Digital bonus track "ten" is a bit darker, stranger, and more broken than the others, with a mesmerizing bassline spiraling through during the middle. Black Decelerants first album stands out due to its mixture of glitchy textures and jazz improvisation, in addition to the way it uses ambient music to both calm and stimulate the mind. ~ Paul Simpson |
