COELACANTH & KEITH
EVANS
WRACK LIGHT IN
SPOOL3 CD / DVD Seal Pool
Press Release
Jim Haynes and Loren Chasse have collaborated with Keith Evans
to create Coelacanth's fourth and most complex record. Culled
from two performances -- a five-hour recording session during
Matmos's 96 hours of performances at the Yerba Buena Center
for the Arts, and an audio/visual performance with Keith Evans
-- Wrack Light in Copper Ruin explores the the symbiosis
of materiality and sound, and its infinite network of metaphors
and allegories.
Like an abandoned aquarium in which an accidental and incongruous
microcosm takes hape, Coelacanth's sound illustrates a constant
evolution of decay, encroachment, and repossession of the border
space between the natural and the man-made. With Wrack Light
in Copper Ruin, Coelacanth also meditates on the space
of performance, the tactile nature of the creation of sound,
and its ephemeral, elusive and entirely subjective character.
The visuals of Keith Evans further the exploration with their
organic, nocturnal energy.
Comparatively, Wrack Light is more delicate than Coelacanth's
previous recordings, inhabiting a space where artists such as
Jonathan Coleclough, Andrew Chalk, Mirror, and MNortham can
be found, yet it maintains the mysterious, oceanic nature its
name implies.
