Tropismes
Tropisme #1: Beverly Glenn-Copeland - Ever New
Bom dia querides 🌼
I am pleased to share the first installment of a series where I'll speak about records, artists, labels,... without limitations of genres and topics.
This is called Tropismes.
✺
Influenced by the antinovel by Nathalie Sarraute, a tropism is biologically speaking the growth or turning movement of an organism, usually a plant, in response to an environmental stimulus. In Sarraute's own word and definition, it is an "interior movement that precede and prepare our words and actions, at the limits of our consciousness."
⌾
The first bit is about Beverly Glenn-Copeland, and more specifically about his track 'Ever New', on the album Keyboard Fantaisies, released in 1986. A piece and a person that had such a huge impact on me. And still have.
In December 2016, I’ve been introduced to Beverly Glenn-Copeland thanks to the incoming repress of his album Keyboard Fantaisies by Invisible City Editions, originally released in cassette in 1986.
I eventually got my hands on the Seance Centre version. And Transgressive made another repress on 2021! The music being at the chore of all of these releases.

A multi-layered composition, where contracts in the record industry meet AI and slavery - all this in a piece without proper lyrics - fascinating! ✾ https://www.instagram.com/gerald.nuance/https://nuance.radio/
