专辑简介
There is nothing fun or pedestrian about dreams that are
uncompromising to the point of reality.
The shaking notes that make up "Folding Space" were recorded by
two people holed up in their whole respective imaginations of
visions of loops, layers and pleading lyrics. It is stubborn but
not ugly, nearly one hour of music set in studios buried by
blizzards of the American Great Lakes region.
Cages is Nola Ranallo and David Bailey. They practiced, moved
apart, relayed tapes through the mail, revised the entire damned
thing, and then rejoined to capture every last seizure on this
record. They sought sounds from the same dreams that give fools
belief and colorfully punctuate the nights of the sanest.
It's sometimes pretty (?Lost Lipids?) or crushing ("Psalm to
Mother"; "If It Flies, It Dies") or left hanged in the speakers
("Dying"). There are elements of dreamy ether and discomfort
rather than the easy choruses and catchphrases of the most
collected and consumed art form. And, then, you'll find a song
radiating another thing entirely. (sweetness? The Devil's hand?)
Live, the duo transfers their forged and found music into a very
personal presentation that soars above the casually talking
show-goers, the poor man's jazz bands, and the art house
showboats. Patrons and fellow musicians are pulled in; sounds
are pushed out but never apart.
"Folding Space" is a foot to the honest and hard road, which can
quickly cut away the uncurious and reward the rest like the
tapes listened to repeatedly in the fevers of your youth. Please
mull and judge, and add to the tops or bottoms of the lists you
think necessary. And know the visions backing this elaborate
music were recorded and are performed for a primary reason: to
exist freely.
