Joyfultalk - A Separation Of Being

Welcome to the hypnotic world of A Separation Of Being, the dazzling third album from Nova Scotia's avant-garde sonic architect JOYFULTALK (aka Jay Crocker). This is not your average experimental record - it’s a full-body immersion into meticulously crafted systems music, where geometry meets groove and invention meets emotion.

Structured as a three-part suite, A Separation Of Being translates a monumental 5' x 10' visual score into mesmerizing soundscapes using Crocker’s handmade instruments and analog contraptions.

Think Steve Reich jamming with Japanese ambient composers in a polyrhythmic dream, crowned by soaring, soul-stirring strings courtesy of Jesse Zubot. The results? A kaleidoscopic blend of tight interlocking grooves, pointillist textures, and buoyant rhythmic energy that refuses to sit still.

This LP is both cerebral and deeply physical - minimalism with a heartbeat, math with mojo. Crocker’s unique Planetary Music System score isn’t just included as liner art; it’s central to the album’s cosmic pulse. A stunning 12" x 24" art print of the graphic composition is tucked inside the gatefold, bridging audio and visual in one heady package.

A Separation Of Being is pure JOYFULTALK: wildly creative, weirdly beautiful, and completely unforgettable. For fans of visual music, modular madness, or anyone craving sound that actually feels like art - this one's essential.
