When science fiction turns science fact the effect can be truly momentous. The state demands that no-one wants an unlicensed machine-hum from an outbuilding; no-one wants clever prose mapping the future, no-one wants “music” that is attention-seeking, soul-defining, beneficial, Biblical, baroque and beautiful. No-one told Jane Weaver that.Jane Weaver’s multi-layered synthetics evolved into a welcoming slew with 2014’s ‘The Silver Globe’, continuing through to 2017’s ‘Modern Kosmology’. ‘Loops In The Secret Society’ is a reimagined journey through parts of both albums, with new ambient pieces primed and polished; with new tangents explored in a labfriendly blossoming of the Weaver vision that travels yet further into the psych of our future. A continuous experience with one-line observations set in glorious sense-stimulating sound. That source material was then united in an expansionist experiment in late 2018.
The ‘Loops In The Secret Society’ tour fused unrelated sounds set off
against sympathetic new textures, tones and drones ; hot-housed into an
idealistic soundscape that formed the conducive parts of the imminent album of
the same name. Co-conspirators include Henry
Broadhead, PJ Phillipson and Andy Votel. Renegades all, headed by the enigmatic
Weaver – all under surveillance.
