NEW AGE ~ From SEANCE CENTRE (ex INVISIBLE CITY EDITIONS), a label leading the excavation of electronic music, comes electronic music from 1987 by New Mexico-based female composer JOANNE FORMAN.
Joanne Forman's Cave Vaults of the Moon created in 1987 for an exhibit of sculptures in Taos, New Mexico is a mesmerizing score for voice, Ensoniq Mirage, Juno 106, flute, guitar and effects. The playful extra-terrestrial recording wafted through the exhibit every day for its duration and then lay dormant for nearly 30 years. Unearthed now, Cave Vaults of the Moon sounds prescient and timeless, as if Pep Llopis and Iasos scored a Wicker Man remake set on Mars. Restored, remastered and cut using DMM.
An astonishing 1987 work by female composer JOANNE FORMAN, who has created everything from opera and orchestral pieces to chamber music, choral works, and music for children. This electronic album was produced on commission as music for an extraterrestrial civilization. Using a JUNO 60, flute, guitar, and effects, "Cave Vaults Of The Moon" is music brimming with mysterious charm. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
