Tropisme #1: Beverly Glenn-Copeland - Ever New

Season 1, Ep. 1
•

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.

    Bom dia querides 🌼 I am pleased to share the second episode 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.

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/
