TOSCA
マリア・カラスが演じたことでも有名な、ジャコモ・プッチーニのオペラ " トスカ ( Tosca) " を、そのユニット名に、マルチ器楽奏者リチャード・ドルフマイスターとルパート・ヒューバーによるデュオToscaの愛の官能的な音響風景は，我々を癒すかのようにオーディオ・マッサージする。ローマを舞台にしたオペラ" トスカ " の大筋は、画家カヴァラドッシと、その恋人の有名歌手トス
カの物語である。画家は脱獄した政治囚の逃亡を助けたために死刑宣告されるが、トスカは彼を救おうと警視総監スカルピアを殺すのだが、スカルピアの策略でカヴァラドッシは処刑され、トスカも彼の後を追って自殺するというものだが、物語りの重要なテーマは " 歌に生き、神への愛に生き ( 恋に生き ) " だ。トスカの " Opera " が発売された'97年といえば、酒鬼薔薇事件や消費税が3%から5%に増税され、 香港がイギリスから返還され、 ダイアナ元英皇太子
妃がパリで事故死、銀行と証券の４社が連鎖的に経営破綻するなど金融機関の経営破綻が相次ぐなど、失われた10年の平成不況まっただ中だった。クラブシーンもアシッドハウス、シカゴ・ハウス、テクノレイヴの波も消え、G-stoneから'93年にリリースされたクルーダー・アンド・ドルフマイスターの " G-stones " やトリップホップなどの、ゆったりとした曲調の心地良い音楽＝エレクトロニカ、ダウンテンポ・ダブ、ジャズ、ボサノヴァ、エスノ、アンビエント、ムードなどのラウンジ・ミュージックのジャンルが市民権を得ていた。その象徴がクルーダー・アンド・ドルフマイスターやトスカの音楽なのだが、彼らの音楽や世界を理解するには、クラシック音楽での中世のグレゴリア聖歌や、ルネッサンス、18世紀のバロック、古典派、ロマン派などのヨーロッパの移ろい行くバロック的感性を持ち得てないと、理解不可能だろう ( なんせいまだに、野外レイヴ・パーティーと称してサイケデリック・トランスやゴアトランスで踊っている遅れて来た崩れロックスたちが存在しているのだから ) 。どちらかというと、クルーダー・アンド・ドルフマイスターはジャズ寄りのラウンジ・ミュージックだったが，トスカはよりダブ手法を前面に押し出し、テープマシーンやインディアン・ミュージック、詩の朗読、ヴォイス・コラージュなどを実験的に使ったソウルやファンクなどのルーツ・ミュージックの要素に重点を置いていて、こうした音楽が後のスウェーデン出身のマグナス・ジングマークとオスカー・シモンソンのクープ " Waltz for Koop " や ( 2001年

にはトスカはクープの " Summer Sun " での " Relaxin' At Club F****n " のリミックスを手掛けていた) 、ファイヴ・コーナーズ・クインテット、フィン・ジャズに繋がっていった。初期の彼らの作品にはイギリスの田舎町ハルにあるポーク ( Pork ) レーベル傘下のアーティストFila Brazillia、Brittnuts、Baby Mammoth、ドイツのコンポスト (Compost ) 傘下のBeanfield、Fauna Flashがリミックスを手掛けていた。G−ストーンでのトスカやファンキー・ロウ・ライヴ、最近でもK&Dの" G-Stone Book " などのジャケット・アートの多くを手掛けているのはウィーンのアート・アンド・クリエイティヴ・デイレクター、イラストレーターのSarah Littasy ( aka Sahara Venus ) だが、このレーベルの魅力は彼女のテキスタイルによるところが大きい。ドルフマイスターとクルーダーによって設立されたG-stoneレーベルは、K&DやPeace Orchestra、Tosca以外にもDorfmeister vs. MDLA 、Stereotyp、DJ DSL、Rodney Hunter、URBS、Makossa & Megablast、Voomvoom、Marsmobilなどを手掛けている。その多くがダウンテンポのダブ、あるいはジャズ的なるラウンジ・ミュージックで、オーストリアならではのクラシカルでバロキスム溢れるヴィエンナ・サウンドだ。
