Wallace Berman - IN CONVERSATION
Review by Людмила Рытикова
IN CONVERSATION by Wallace Berman is a unique and thought-provoking album that showcases the artist's talent for blending different mediums and styles. The album features a mix of spoken word, music, and sound collages that are inspired by Berman's life and work.
The album opens with "Aleph," a spoken word piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Berman's deep and hypnotic voice draws the listener in as he recites a poem that touches on themes of spirituality and the human condition.
The music on IN CONVERSATION is equally captivating, with tracks like "Radio Ethiopia" and "Western Lands" blending elements of rock, jazz, and experimental music. The sound collages, which feature snippets of radio broadcasts and other found sounds, add an extra layer of depth to the album.
