macronaria editions
ground-creeping resonances / boundary-defying sounds
Just as the massive Macronaria once roamed this earth, resonating through its gargantuan nasal passages to send ground-creeping infrasound kilometers away—
The sound unleashed from the great wooden vessel of the double bass is more than mere vibration. It becomes a long-wavelength low frequency that slips through walls, rounds corners, and "diffracts" through every obstacle to reach your location.
Macronaria Editions is an independent label dedicated to charting new possibilities for the solo double bass.
From meticulously composed contemporary works to improvisations born only in the moment, macronaria editions employs refined recording techniques to extract the pure "ring" of the instrument, sending forth records of solo performance that resonate from the deepest depths.
Do not listen with your ears alone.
Let it travel through the ground, vibrate your bones, and reach into the far distance.
The essence of the solo double bass is now crossing your boundaries.
mnr002 : Diffraction
Sound waves bend around obstacles, penetrating the realm of shadows.
A primordial roar, resonating through nasal cavities to commune with distant kin.
The multilayered vibrations unleashed from the gargantuan resonator of the double bass diffract through the space of the hallowed "Barber Fuji."
They pierce the silence, pushing through a dense, primeval thicket.
A raw fragment of communion; a single-take, 60-minute visceral record.
音は障害物を回り込み、影の領域へと侵入する。
鼻腔を鳴らし、遠くの仲間と交信していたであろう太古の咆哮。
コントラバスという巨大な共鳴体から放たれる多層的な響きは、
聖地・バーバー富士の空間を回折し、静寂を穿ち、鬱蒼とした深淵を突き進む。
これは、60分一本勝負の記録であり、剥き出しの交信の断片である。

macronaria editions の起点となる一作。
3本のコントラバスが、互いの音を一切聴くことのない隔絶された環境で記録され、後に一つの空間で邂逅する。
mnr001: fulfil
digital release
Recorded in isolated environments where three double basses remained oblivious to one another's resonance.
When these three disparate voices converge, they transcend mere layering to become an "unexpected music"—a sonic architecture born from the blind intersection of wood and air.
Masashi Yamamoto captures the moment where individual intent dissolves into a singular, monumental vibration.
Tracklist:
1. fill (13:07)
2. full (15:01)
