Akasha_For Record is a two-part composition, filled with highly dynamic intricacies very
carefully arranged. Rich micro-detail meets subtle emotional resonance in a
spellbinding work created specifically for the vinyl format:
"When Colin kindly invited me to create work for his picture disc series, I decided to do so
with the intention that the vinyl record format would be an ongoing contributor to the
work and each copy would contribute different details by virtue of how each record was
made and according to how each might accumulate dust, pops, crackles, etcetera over
time. Indeed when Colin and I listened to each of the test pressings, we discovered that
each copy did in fact add sonic elements to the work at certain points that the other
copies did not; and variance also occurred according to the type of turntable, stylus,
cartridge, and stereo system used for playback." (Dale Lloyd)
Akasha_For Record is an opulent listening experience and one that will reward close,
repeated scrutiny.
The record's artwork consists of two gorgeous, lightly manipulated, photographic images
by Lloyd. The sound/vision combination of Akasha_for Record is truly intriguing and
utterly beautiful.
Dale Lloyd is well known for sound art, phonography, graphic design, and curatorial skills
for his highly acclaimed and/OAR label. He has recorded for numerous labels over the
years, including Elevator Bath, and/OAR, Alluvial Recordings, Mystery Sea, and
Room40. Lloyd lives in Seattle, Washington." (Elevator Bath)
This picture disc LP has been released in an edition of 216 copies.
