INCANTATIONS is a collection of sixteen visual and sonic experiments centred around the idea of score as spell, curated and produced by Séance Centre’s Brandon Hocura and Naomi Okabe.

A spell and its incantation are distinct, but conjoined by a symbolic, almost umbilical force. A spell is a totem text, a material call for change — a seed, a recipe, an instruction, a potential. The incantation of a spell gives it life, brings breath to body, raises hairs, moves minds. For this project, eight spell-scores were created by visual/text-based artists for a musician/composer to incant. Taking a wide interpretation of what can be considered a score, these works include concrete poetry, collage, painting, drawing, spell-poetry, instructional art, and recipe. The resulting sound works give voice to these evocative “texts”, residing in the liminal space between musical form and magical utterance.

INCANTATIONS EDITIONS:

- The Metaphysical: Digital + Spell Card PDF
- The Liminal: Digital + Spell Card Set (Limited to 200)
- The Corporeal: Vinyl LP + Spell Card Set + Digital (Limited to 300)

Are you looking for bliss at its purest today? We might have it for you then, thanks to Phase Group label, guestmix series and party. The Glasgow-based entity run by MR TC & Lo Kindre is on its way to unveil acoustic kraut and minimalist gems from the Berlin’s early-2000 era. Yes, the one fantasized for its warm nights of electronic pleasures.

So what? Did you think it was the only thing going in the big B back then? The Kulku’s 5-track EP definitely proves you wrong by taking from the 70s through scorched no-wave, cathartic freak folk and even softer acts like our premiere, a counting rhyme made of childish idiophones and sweet sweet singings.

The Early Bird Show w/ Maria Somerville 051222

Since Léo has the particularity of smoking everything by the root, we decided to make a premiere after the official release of OGMA's first album, an adventure combining Léo Gouren's offbeat touch and the musical mischief of... once again, Guillaume Lespinasse. Recorded in Mars, the native village of one of the two companions, the final opus is an ode to chewed tobacco, the smell of dung, faded white marcels and the overheated bread oven. The Blanket Jeez decided to emphasize the song halfway through the album, a blues that smells of hay and great banjo playing.
