A Separation Of Being
Free-thinking Nova Scotia composer, musician and visual artist Jay Crocker (aka Joyfultalk) channels minimalism, Japanese environmental music, Maghrebian rhythmic modes and other numinous folkways to create his most focused, vibrant work to date. Based on a monumental, kaleidoscopic graphic score, 'A Separation Of Being' is translated from two-dimensional page to trans-dimensional aural life using an array of homemade instruments, crowned with a majestic string arrangement written by Crocker and performed by Polaris and Juno winner Jesse Zubot (Tanya Tagaq, Destroyer). RIYL: Steve Reich, Laurel Halo, Actress, Mikael Seifu, Laurie Spiegel, Penguin Café Orchestra, Oliver Coates, Kelly Moran, Clark, Laraaji.
