Australian ambient musician John Elder. Probably he was on the Southern Quest, which sank into the Antarctic sea in 1986, the year before the release of this work (the photo in the article is his credit). Not sure if it was composed based on, but the work named "Antarctica". It is an ambient piece that brings calm and imaginary sharpened sence, sound image as if various emotions are mixed, and an organic feeling that seems to depict a grand nature. It penetrates deeply and profoundly. Hard to find recent years. There are faint marks/scuffs, but they didn't significantly affect playback.
南極観測基地であるスコット基地の上級科学者を務めながら、アンビエント・コンポーザーそして作家としても活動していたニュージーランド出身のJohn Elder。本作はリリースの前年となる86年に南極の海へ沈んだサザン・クエスト号にまつわる”Antarctica”と名付けられた作品で、静観でイマージナリーな研ぎ澄まされた音響感覚、様々な感情が入り混じるかのような音像、壮大な大自然を描いたような有機感覚がもたらすアンビエント大作。深く深く浸透していきます。現在稀少となっています。薄いマーク/擦れありますが大きく気にすることなく聴けました。
