Lisa Lerkenfeldt – Halos of Perception [LP]

"Halos of perception ripple in a black temporary lake.
Senses are alight in total darkness.
Under torchlight I see a white spider build a web in wet glitter.
Traffic becomes a tactile instrument ringing through 300km of tunnels to where I am.
When we speak it reverberates for 32 seconds.
You tell me stories from 1991.
Every moment is extended when under the damp earth.
Even the walls have a voice.
An amulet of sweat forms on my neck.

Lerkenfeldt introduces electroacoustic techniques of refraction to explore the acoustic mirror on ‘Halos of Perception’. Flickering piano, tape delay systems and their spatialised distortions unfold in repetitive motifs on ‘Limestone.' In ‘Cobwebs' she constructs a hallucinatory web of echoes.

'Halos of Perception' is produced by Shelter Press (France) in LP edition and digital with a poem by the artist. The album releases on November 3, 2023 with a hyperreal film in collaboration with Chinese-Malaysian Australian video artist Tristan Jalleh. Set in abandoned infrastructure the film explores a hyperreal performance site between reality and dream."
