Quartet Records presents the premiere complete vinyl release of Ennio Morricone's fascinating score for Folco Quilici's OCEANO (1971), a pseudo-documentary film about a young Polynesian, Tanai, who goes in search of the island of his dreams. On an epic sea voyage from Polynesia to Alaska aboard a tiny fragile raft, he is guided by the voices of his ancestors.''Morricone' score for OCEANO seeks to merge nature with mythology. It breathes, vibrates, transmits, and is characterized by its episodic and atmospheric structure, taking the form of an evocative soundscape. The composer draws on resources that recall a primitive, spiritual component: tribal percussion (tablas and bongos), solo woodwinds (flutes and clarinets), guitar, sitar, clanging metal and harp. The fusion of timbres in this instrumentation is unconventional. He expressively sets to music ideas associated with wind or nature, sound textures that construct Tanai's intimate journey: we hear the sea, we feel the air roaring over the sail of his canoe, the danger lurking in the ocean, his loneliness. The music is another character that gives the film a lyrical dimension and complements the visual element, transcending its narrative function to become a gateway to meditation on the mystery of the sea and existence. Through his unmistakable style, Morricone invites us to immerse ourselves in a world of introspection, beauty and silent emotion.''The original 40-minute program was released on vinyl in 1971 in Italy and Japan, and both those LPs quickly became collector's items. Quartet Records recently released a CD featuring the complete 70-minute score. This is the first release of the same program on vinyl, presented as a transparent blue-ocean 2XLP, mastered by Chris Malone, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
エンニオ・モリコーネがフォルコ・キリチ監督の『遥かなる青い海』（1971年）のために手掛けた魅惑的なスコアの初の完全盤ヴァイナルがリリース！
トラックリスト本作はポリネシアの若者タナイが夢の島を求めて旅立つ疑似ドキュメンタリー映画である。ポリネシアからアラスカへ、小さな脆い筏で挑む壮大な航海において、彼は祖先の声に導かれていく。
モリコーネの『遥かなる青い海』スコアは自然と神話を融合させようとする。それは呼吸し、震え、伝わり、エピソード的で雰囲気を重視した構造が特徴で、喚起的なサウンドスケープの形態をとる。作曲家は原始的で精神的な要素を想起させる音源を駆使する：部族的な打楽器（タブラとボンゴ）、ソロ木管楽器（フルートとクラリネット）、ギター、シタール、金属音、ハープ。この楽器編成における音色の融合は型破りだ。風や自然を連想させるアイデアを表現豊かに音楽化し、タナイの内省的な旅路を構築する音響テクスチャーを生み出す。我々は海の音を聴き、カヌーの帆を駆け抜ける風の轟きを感じ、海に潜む危険や彼の孤独を体感する。音楽は映画に叙情的な次元を与え、視覚的要素を補完するもう一人の登場人物である。物語機能を超越し、海の神秘と存在への瞑想への入り口となる。モリコーネは彼の紛れもないスタイルを通じて、内省と美と静かな感情の世界へ没入するよう私たちを誘う。
オリジナルの40分プログラムは1971年にイタリアと日本でレコード盤として発売され、両LP盤はすぐにコレクターズアイテムとなった。QUARTET RECORDSは最近、全70分間のスコアを収録したCDをリリースした。今回、同じプログラムをレコード盤で初リリース。透明な青の海を思わせる2枚組LPとして、クリス・マローンによるマスタリングを施し、豪華なゲートフォールド・スリーブに収めました。
限定500枚。
