Charlemagne Palestine is a Brooklyn-born composer, currently living and working in Belgium.
The cover of this album with its unusually spelled information is reminiscent of many things. A cat running across the keys of a laptop or piano, Dadaism, concrete poetry, child’s play. For the latter, the type of choice – Berthold Garamond – may seem a tad too serious but the second of the three pieces on this release from gallery/publisher Blank Forms comes close. On their website, they describe it as “a new piece recorded at the artist’s studio in Belgium—a high-ceiling, stuffed-animal-packed paradise he calls Charleworld—among friends and “divinities,” his name for the thousands of plush toys he’s amassed since the ’60s.” The other tracks on this album are two pieces for carillon.
The record was released on the occasion of Blank Forms’ sixth annual gala honoring Charlemagne Palestine.
