The piece uses a multitude of instrumental, vocal, concrete and electronic sounds to evoke the soundscapes cole encountered during nocturnal listening session in Bali, Indonesia in 2018 and 2019. In this world of night sounds, she explains, she ‘observed the complex interplay between amphibian, lizard, bird and insect communication, domestic animals (roosters, dogs), man-made sounds (airplanes, vehicles, conversations and evening activities) and sounds that were difficult to place’. Drawing on field recordings as memory aids (but including none in the finished piece), cole’s piece uncannily reproduces the spatiality and pacing of environmental sound without attempting strictly to replicate it. We hear insect-like twittering and birdsong fragments, resonant thuds and distant\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e roars, furtive crunches and taps, muffled breath and metallic scrapes. While at times it can be difficult to imagine the source of these sounds, at other points they are clearly instrumental or electronic in origin; in its placement and layering, though, the whole assemblage suggests the glorious, unthinking richness of a non-musical sound environment. Suggesting at once the electronic gardens of Rolf Julius and the little instrument expanses of classic AACM, the piece is a brilliant enactment of the Cagean drive to ‘imitate nature in her manner of operation’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Valid ForeverrRrrRRrrr… (pt. 1)’ began as cole’s contribution to an Issue Project Room commission to realise a score from Alison Knowles and Annea Lockwood’s Women´s Work, a 1975 collection of text and conceptual scores by women artists and composers. cole’s piece begins from Beth Anderson’s Valid for Life, a complex arrangement of the letter R in various typefaces. Where the composer suggests a realisation on a trio of acoustic instruments (playing rolls with velvet beaters), cole translates the piece into her characteristic sound and object language as a trio of rolling sounds on ‘two large similar paper things and one 5-pin bowling ball’. Rolling from one side of the stereo field to the other, the bowling ball’s uneven movement is the heart of this immersive textural array, created with the simplest materials, which generates phantom sensations of pitch and phasing effects solely through amplified friction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn ‘Valid ForeverrRrrRRrrr… (pt. 2)’, cole makes a first foray in translating her signature approach into conventional instrumental sounds, here in the form of a transcription for MIDI percussion ensemble. The result is refreshingly puzzling, comparable perhaps only to the sparsest moments of Keiji Haino’s classic “C’est parfait…” Accompanied with extensive liner notes, photographic documentation and a download code, Making Conversation is an exciting next step in cole’s work, extending her signature concerns in new sonic and conceptual directions.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : crys cole\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Black Truffle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecat no : Black Truffle 123\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-04-10T09:21:35+09:00","created_at":"2025-04-08T09:43:37+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["black truffle","drone","lp","monooto","new"],"price":458500,"price_min":458500,"price_max":458500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47243702108410,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"crys cole \/\/ Making Conversation LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":458500,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"4250101472015","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/mak1_a9fced17-1c01-4b31-80fd-fdea5b2fd6b4.jpg?v=1744072931","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/mak2_853aed9b-5e96-48c0-aa95-3ae13110f3c4.jpg?v=1744072931"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/mak1_a9fced17-1c01-4b31-80fd-fdea5b2fd6b4.jpg?v=1744072931","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35852044763386,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/mak1_a9fced17-1c01-4b31-80fd-fdea5b2fd6b4.jpg?v=1744072931"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/mak1_a9fced17-1c01-4b31-80fd-fdea5b2fd6b4.jpg?v=1744072931","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":35852044796154,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/mak2_853aed9b-5e96-48c0-aa95-3ae13110f3c4.jpg?v=1744072931"},"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/mak2_853aed9b-5e96-48c0-aa95-3ae13110f3c4.jpg?v=1744072931","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eカナダの実験音楽家crys coleが、2024年9月に\u003cspan\u003eオーストラリアの実験レーベルBlack Truffleからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e電子音で制作した擬似フィールドレコーディング〜物音コラージュ3曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2307191495\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/black-truffle\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/black-truffle\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Black Truffle releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
