Episode 1: Vibration Lets Me Know You Are There

Market is excited to present The Rapture of Cellular Accretion, a new commission by Glasgow-based musician and artist Lucy Duncombe. Initially planned as a performance in March 2020, the work was reconceived as a tape, fiction text and artwork during the convalescence of lockdown.

The Rapture of Cellular Accretion concerns the back and forth sharing of music within the alternate sociality of digital space; lives held within YouTube playlists and cultivated within an 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 text can be downloaded from www.marketgallery.org

The tape with text and artwork can be purchased from https://lucyduncombe.bandcamp.com/album/the-rapture-of-cellular-accretion-2
