speedkermit Like Björk’s ‘Medulla’ or Camille’s ‘Le Fil’, this album leans heavily on manipulation of the human voice, but without leaving the listener feeling like the method is the only talking point. It’s a treatise on human interaction in the digital sphere, a smartly-penned science fiction dystopia and an elegantly melodic suite of hyper-postmodern electronica. And anyone who can juxtapose Music For Nine Postcards with ‘a young Jeremy Clarkson’ has my undivided attention! Fabulous st

about

The Rapture of Cellular Accretion is a tape, fiction text and artwork completed during the convalescence of lockdown.

The work concerns the back and forth sharing of music within the alternate sociality of digital space; lives held within YouTube playlists and cultivated within the ample hamlet of thumbnails, comments, and auto suggestion, with a sense of a ‘we’ stuck recursively in loops of musical fable.

With melodic references to songs hosted within the imagined YouTube playlist of The Rapture or comments left on its videos, its musical world is contained and atomic.

Almost all of the pieces here use the ensemble of the voice for its instrumentation; stretched, pitch shifted, cut and repeated to create a ‘texture of one’, with Ailie Ormston providing non-vocal instrumentation on several of the tracks.

The text of The Rapture of Cellular Accretion is embedded within a febrile code world conceived and designed by artist, Al White.

The piece can be purchased as a tape with 4 double sided risographs for £15; as a single cassette for £6; or digital album for £4.
