Bleep

Seance Centre (Sam McLellan, Beverly Glenn-Copeland) release this quizzical collection from Joanne Forman. In 1987, Foreman was commissioned to create a musical installation for an environment of sculptures that was going to be exhibited in New Mexico. In keeping with the alien pieces on display, Forman brought together a disparate array of instruments such as a Juno 106, guitar and flute to create this unearthly music. Her ambitions were lofty - with Vaults Of The Moon, she intended to write ‘sonic texts’ which codified Earth-bound activities for an extraterrestrial race - and this led her to create these frequently perplexing, often beautiful pieces that bear the influence of New Age music, synthesiser ambience and post-minimalist composition.
