A 480
Kara-Lis Coverdale finally presents a first time vinyl pressing of her 2014 debut album āA 480ā, giving a breath of new life to five sublime virtual choral synth studies rendered in the digital sphere.
Entirely made up of āvirtual choirsā - synthetic versions of actual recorded singers that were disembodied, disfigured, and displaced over forty times before finally reappearing through a convoluted process of digital reincarnation - āA 480ā essentially catalogues the birth of one of the most distinctive artistic voices of our time. Using fine editing, layering, and convolution of the original material to reshape meaning via minute shifts of repetitive arrangements, the pieces here function effortlessly as a sort of environmental music, but really come into their own on closer inspection, where the slightest alterations ripple with something like a butterfly effect to create
cosmically scaled harmonic changes and unique expressions of compressed melodic counterpoint.
The five works oscillate between succinctly pop-tart and stately pieces, and into more expansive, panoramic and meditative parts that offer a glimpse of developments to come later in Coverdaleās oeuvre. Those shorter numbers take in precision-tooled loops recalling Carl Stoneās pop chop-ups in āA 480ā and āA 476,ā and opiated airborne pulses reminiscent of Stephan Mathieu via Wolfgang Voigt in the darker allure of āA 478,ā and act as moments of preparation, punctuation and reflection around the albumās two peaks; the banking noctilucent choral clouds of āA 479,ā and the gently thizzing delirium of āA 477.ā
This deluxe vinyl edition comes with a printed booklet including graphic scores that contain the sources and structuring of the A 480 audio text-files, transformation procedures used to arrange and compose them into their present form, and keyword routes of re-creation. The cover art is by Daniele De BattĆ©, and inside the sleeve youāll find a blue-cell sticker that can be placed on the grid to recreate the original 2014 version of the cover. to recreate the original 2014 version of the cover.
