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.

This edition comes with eight spell cards. Inspired by the format of oracle and tarot cards, they are invitations for further interpretation and play. To be under a spell is to be lost in a transformation, an alternate reality, to be in collaboration with an unknowable and powerful force. The works in this collection have created a spontaneous and ludic alchemy, courageous attempts to catalyze and spark in our present moment.
