《23个弹性结构》
法国具象音乐家莱昂内尔·马凯蒂的新作。全长超过77分钟。计23曲，素材来自1987-2011历年的收集和创作，于2011年完成。
这是莱昂内尔·马凯蒂迄今最为精彩的作品之一，也是最有弹性、最精于留白的一次。作者像魔术师一样，用磁带机玩出经典的变速、拉伸，也演奏出提神醒脑的噪音，更不用说他在世界各地收集的田野录音片段。经过数年的筹划，从双CD压缩到一张，最后是23次完美的声音事件。
《惟一的真迹》
莱昂内尔·马凯蒂曾邀请颜峻创作另一张CD，以合作形式同时出版。颜峻决定以文字回应。此文灵感来自莱昂内尔·马凯蒂的音乐，计23段，2万余字，配图19幅，王立秋英译。
这是一次以音乐方式进行的写作冒险。内容涉及颇广，从具象音乐到文人画，从居伊·德波到亚里士多德，从安托南·阿尔托到嵇康的《声无哀乐论》，从《追忆似水年华》到《锁麟囊》，从鲍德里亚到格伦·古尔德，从本雅明到乾隆和马三立……与其说是论述，不如说是引用、采样和调变，在文体和理论上挑战写作的界限。

À propos de 23 formes en élastique
par Soundtraag Wordpress :

« I really love listening new musical works by Lionel Marchetti.
In my opinion, he is one of the most respectful composers / poets / philosophers of our days, experimenting with musique concrèteand electro-acoustic musical forms.
His discography is a long list with many interesting solo works and many collaborations, a lot of them with his friend Jérôme Noetinger (Metamkine).
Some years before, when I start searching about his work, I really stuck on Marchetti’s collaboration with dancer / choreographer yoko higashi, a great combination of electroacoustic music and modern dance.

Yan Jun is a Chinese musician and writer.
I am not familiar with his work as a musician neither as a writer.
In fact, I don’t know much about Chinese improvised scene.
Sometime I was really curios about it, but unfortunately I lost contact, while I notice that Sugar Jar, the only independent record store in China, was closed permanently.
Its funny cos Yan is referring on Sugar Jar and his owner Lao Yang in his first essay in this book, something that make me more curious about his texts.
While I was reading the 23 essays of Yan I can say that I start re discover not only the Chinese way of thinking but also the France history of avant-garde.
Yan Jun is interesting on Marchetti’s work and he is inspired of it, letting his thoughts be led by the music.
He likes chatting/writing in a very informal but quite thoughtful way about musique concrète, literature, poems and the “authentication of work of art”.
It was very interesting for me to read his texts, while I was listening on the “23 Formes En Elastique” by Lionel Marchetti.
This new work by him is including 23 tracks, length more than 77 min of music.
This is a pure sample of musique concrète and electro-acoustic music, keeping a beautiful balance between real time composition and improvisation.
Marchetti works with a narrative perspective, using pickups, tapes and field recording.
Also, silence plays an important role here, helping you be more focused on sound.

I really enjoy of this release not only musically but also as a concept.
I like the book format.
It made it more welcome! »

Lionel Marchetti is a French composer of concrete music
an improviser (electronics, various analogic systems with modified speakers, REVOX reel-to-reel recorder…)
as well as a visual-sound artist, a writer and a poet

Whether his music is composed or improvised
the body has an important role (Lionel Marchetti danced with the university company Relyanse between 1986 and 1991)

To define his music, one can borrow Kenneth White’s saying :

« Concrete or abstract ?
I like abstraction where a memory of substance remains, concrete refined on the frontiers of emptiness. »
