名前: | [ambient, experimental] (2022) Lucy Liyou – Welfare / Practice [FLAC] [DarkAngie] |
_DESCRIPTION_: Review: For Philadelphia-based sound artist Lucy Liyou, this tension between the technology as a soulless automation and a vehicle for our innermost thoughts is everything. “The idea that a text-to-speech generator attempts to sound as perfectly human as possible is ironic,” the Korean-American artist told Tone Glow in 2020. “The way it fails to capture certain sentiments feels like a vessel that contains my voice, as twisted as that sounds.” In Liyou’s hands, the tool’s detached enunciation becomes a conduit for deep, anguished explorations into trauma both personal and generational. Sometimes it reads like a gutting AI transcript of family therapy sessions, becoming yet another contorted outgrowth of Liyou’s short-circuiting sound design. Other times, Liyou’s gentle piano playing makes the voice feel almost innocent as it unfolds like a yearning diary entry, expressing affections too private to say out loud. Listening to Liyou’s music can be an intense, discomforting experience—but devote your full attention to it, and their sparse assortment of sounds reveals a world of conflicting emotions, gliding between visceral heartache, simmering resentments, and quiet gratitude. Collecting Liyou’s first two releases, this double-disc reissue from American Dreams demonstrates the 24-year-old artist’s unique, disorienting vision. Of the two, their 2020 debut, Welfare, is the bolder statement. Originally released via like-minded laptop experimentalist Klein’s personal imprint after the two met through an Instagram Q&A, Welfare dives headfirst into a sprawling song cycle of familial struggle, weaving together extended dioramas of sound poetry that are as fascinating as they are terrifying. It would be an ambitious project even for an artist who wasn’t 21 at the time; at the same time, its confusion and frustrated sense of release feel like they only could have come from a young voice still fighting to express itself, like a caged bird thrashing to be freed. Liyou conceptualized Welfare as a take on Korean p’ansori, a minimalist style of folk opera built entirely around simple drum rhythms and expressive, winding vocalizations. In p’ansori, because there are almost no other instruments, the performer drives the song using the cadence of their voice, with each inflection helping to tell a little bit more of the story. Likewise, Welfare casts Liyou’s text-to-speech bot as the album’s unnerving narrator, using small wrinkles in its delivery to uncover peculiar new emotional textures. On “I’m Going to Therapy,” after a nervous intro in which Liyou admits that they haven’t told their mother they’re seeing a therapist, the automated voice appears against total silence, recounting a painful memory of Liyou’s mother: “You told me when I was six years old, ‘What kind of ![]() ![]() ![]() Track List: 01 - I'm Going to Therapy 02 - Unnie 03 - Who You Feed 04 - Some Form of Kindness 05 - You are every memory 06 - Uncle 07 - At the dinner table 08 - Easiest 09 - How to build an automaton 10 - Patron 11 - Hail mary 12 - September 5 Media Report: Genre: ambient, experimental Country: USA Format: FLAC Format/Info: Free Lossless Audio Codec, 16-bit PCM Bit rate mode: Variable Channel(s): 2 channels Sampling rate: 44.1 KHz Bit depth: 16 bits Note: If you like the music, support the artist | |
