why we love this

Eight artists on the nature of the oracular, tapping into spiritual ley lines coursing throughout continents. This wide range of approaches–from harsh to soft, straightforward to oblique–demonstrates a handful of the myriad ways in which people seek meaning.

about the record

Incantations is a collection of sixteen visual and sonic experiments centered around the idea of score as spell, curated and produced by Séance Centre’s Brandon Hocura and Naomi Okabe.

Eight spell-scores were created by visual/text-based artists for a musician/composer to incant. Taking a wide interpretation of what can be considered a score, these works include concrete poetry, collage, painting, drawing, spell-poetry, instructional art, and recipe. The resulting sound works give voice to these evocative “texts”, residing in the liminal space between musical form and magical utterance.
