“IN DISCUSSING A RECENT INSTALLATION, LA BASED SOUND DESIGNER AND FILM MAKER MAILE COLBERT

EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF RECONSTRUCTED MEMORIES, EVEN IF THEY ARE GENERATED

THROUGH REPRESSION, DISASSOCIATION OR THE INACCURATE RECOLLECTION OF FACTUAL DETAILS. THESE IDEAS CONTINUE ON MOBOROSI, A COLLECTION OF ABSTRACTED VIGNETTES PUBLISHED THROUGH

PAUL BRADLEY’S IMPRINT. THIS IS QUITE THE DETOUR FROM BRADLEY’S TYPICAL PREFERENCE FOR DEEP

DRONE WORK; INSTEAD, COLBERT OFFERS A DELICATE ARRAY OF STRUCTURAL LOOPS AND BACKWARDS

LULLABIES. AT TIMES, SHE POSITIONS GRANULATED SAMPLES OF DIGITAL ERRATA IN LOCKSTEP WITH

MECHANISED LOOPS; ELSEWHERE, HER COMPOSITIONS DRIFT IN A OUT OF PLACID AMBIENT PASSAGES. COLBERT COUNTERS THE PORCELAIN FRAGILITY AND COOL DETACHMENT FOUND THROUGHOUT THESE

RECORDINGS ON “DAY OF FIRE”, WHICH FEATURES THE PLAINSONG VOCALS OF GABRIELA CROWE. IN

THE BRICOLAGE OF FLEETING DETAILS AND SMEARED ELECTRONICA, HER VOICE IS A BAROQUE FEATURE

WHICH SUGGESTS THE KIND OF SURROGATE MEMORY THAT COLBERT SEEMS TO BE SEARCHING FOR.” REVIEW BY JIM HAYNES, THE WIRE 286, DECEMBER 2007. "MAILE COLBERT HAS MENTIONED THAT SHE NEEDS THE HELP OF ALL SENSES TO FEEL “WHOLE” AND A

BALANCED PERSON. A DIRECTOR, VIDEO ARTISTS AND COMPOSER, ALL ASPECTS OF HER WORK ARE

MUTUALLY INFLUENCED BY EACH OTHER, EACH UTTERING CONSTITUTING A SYNTHESIS OF THE MOST

DIVERSE DISCIPLINES. THIS MAY BE A REASON WHY SHE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON COMPLETING AN AMBITIOUS OPERA

PROJECT ON “MILLENNIALISM AND APOCALYPTIC THOUGHT AND THEORY” WITH SINGER GABRIELA

CROWE. OPERA, AFTER ALL, HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN SEEN AS THE ART OF ARTS AND THE ONE GENRE

WHICH BINDS ALL OTHERS TOGETHER. IT DOES NOT SEEM FAR-FETCHED, THEREFORE, TO REGARD

“MOBOROSI”, AS MUCH AS IT HAS BEEN CONCEIVED AS A SELF-SUFFICIENT ALBUM, AS THE OVERTURE TO

THE LARGER WORK TAKING SHAPE IN THE BACKGROUND. IN FACT, IT MAY BE REGARDED AS A CONCISE INTRODUCTION INTO HER OEUVRE AS A WHOLE. THIS JUST

OVER THIRTY MINUTE LONG DEBUT CONTAINS A COLLABORATION WITH ABOVE MENTIONED GABRIELA

CROWE, FEATURES POETRY BY HER BROTHER IAN AS WELL AS HER SOUNDTRACK CONTRIBUTIONS TO

“HOW LITTLE WE KNOW OF OUR NEIGHBORS”, REBECCA BARON’S DOCUMENTARY ON THE “MASS

OBSERVATION” PUBLIC SPYING PROJECT IN THE UK - AND FULLY DEMONSTRATES HER VERSATILITY AND

ABILITY TO INTEGRATE HER PERSONAL APPROACH INTO THE EQUALLY IDIOSYNCRATIC WORK OF OTHERS. AS A COMPOSER, COLBERT’S STYLE MAY BE CHARACTERISED BY A PERFECT SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN THE

AGES: MONOPHONIC CHANT, CLASSICAL THEMES AND REVERB-PEDALLED BROKEN PIANO CHORDS HAVE

THE SAME STATUS ON “MOBORSI” AS AERIAL, TRANSLUCENT DRONES, BACKWARDS-PLAYED THEMES, ELECTRIC CONFIGURATIONS AND FILTERED SYNTHESIZERS, WITHOUT ANYTHING APPEARING IRREGULAR

OR OUT OF PLACE. ANOTHER DISTINCT FEATURE CONSISTS IN HER TECHNIQUE OF NATURALLY PLACING THESE MUSICAL

OBJECTS WITHIN CLOSE RANGE OF EACH OTHER AND OF PLAYING THEM BACK SIMULTANEOUSLY, WITHOUT

REGARD OF WHETHER THIS DOES THEIR HISTORIC BACKGROUND JUSTICE OR WHETHER THEIR TONALITIES

MATCH FOR 100%. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL. COLBERT MERELY SEES AND HEARS WITH DIFFERENT EYES

AND EARS, HER ENTIRE SENSORY SYSTEM IS GEARED TOWARDS AN INTUITIVE VIEW OF THE WORLD AND

TOWARDS FINDING OUT “HOW ELEMENTS (...) AROUND US EFFECT US PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND

PHYSIOLOGICALLY”. JUST AS IF SHE WERE USING THE SHORT STRETCH OF THIS ALBUM AS A SPACE FOR

REFLECTION, IT KEEPS COMING BACK TO THE SAME TRAINS OF THOUGHT, WITH SOME STRINGS

OVERLAPPING AND SYNTHESIZING AS PART OF A FREUD’EAN MATERIALISM. EVERYTHING ON THIS RECORD IS SELF-REFERENTIAL, WITH TRACKS POPPING OUT OF OTHER PIECES LIKE

SMALLER BABUSHKAS HIDING INSIDE THEIR TALLER COUNTERPARTS: THE PIANO OF “DAY OF FIRE” IS

PART OF “BROKEN CAMERA SUNSET”, THE BARELY ONE-MINUTE LONG “SWEET STILL SLEEP” IS

CONTAINED WITHIN “PRIMITIVE” AND THE ABSTRACT RHYTHMIC CHARGES OF “BEGIN” ACT AS A LEITMOTIF

FOR THE ENTIRE WORK. CONSEQUENTLY, A HERMETIC, HAUNTING, SLIGHTLY SURREAL AND YET INWARDLY QUIET MOOD IS

PREDOMINANT ON “MOBOROSI”, ITS STRUCTURES SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER IN TONGUES, AS ITS BODY

AWAKENS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FULL-MOON NIGHT, STARTLES AND FALLS BACK TO SLEEP AGAIN. STILL, THINGS ARE NEVER OPAQUE OR OBLIVIOUS – COLBERT’S ARTISTIC LANGUAGE IS CLEAR AND COHERENT, HER TONE SOFT AND VOID OF RADICAL OUTBURSTS. THERE IS NO NEED AT ALL FOR HER TO FEEL ENVIOUS OF HER BROTHER’S ABILITIES AS A CHEF, EXPRESSING HIMSELF FULLY THROUGH HIS FOOD. WHILE SHE MAY NEED THE HELP OF ALL SENSES TO

FUNCTION AS A PERSON, HER MUSIC DEFINITELY DOESN’T NEED ANY VISUALS TO BE APPRECIATED." -TOBIAS FISCHER, TOKAFI, 15 QUESTIONS TO MAILE COLBERT (HTTP://WWW.TOKAFI.COM) "PROCESSED WITH FLANGE, REVERB, AND DELAY, THESE PIECES ARE BUNKERED IN BREATHY, TEEMING

HARMONICS THAT HOVER ABOVE THESE CLUSTERS OF INCANDESCENT NOTES, WHICH TIME AND AGAIN

CULMINATE IN A BENDING SKYWARD WAIL. IN ITS THIRTY-MINUTE LIFE-SPAN, THE ACTION IS OFTEN HEAVILY STYLISED AND CROSS-CUTTING

DIFFERENT GENRES - SHIFTING QUICKLY, YET MEANINGFULLY, FROM THESE PASSAGES, TO EVEN MORE

DISCRETE MOMENTS, WHERE LOOPS ARE CONSTANTLY SHIFTING BY TINY DEGREES. IN ADDITION, DURING

THESE MORE VIGILANT SECTIONS, COLBERT’S STYLE, WITH ITS OBLIQUE USE OF TONALITY, IS COLOURFUL

AND ALLURING, BUT ALSO WRY, DETACHED AND FRIGID. THUS, PIECES SUCH AS "DAY OF FIRE" WORK WITH A RACING, TUMBLING LOOP, FILLED UP BY TINY

GLITCHES LIKE ROCKS ROLLING DOWN A STREAMBED, AND DEFLATED BY LANGUOROUS DESCENTS INTO

NEAR STILLNESS. ALL OF THIS REACHES ITS ZENITH IN "BLINDING BEGIN AGAIN", WHICH BUILDS SLOW

DYNAMIC CURVES BY COUNTERING LONG PROBING LINES WITH SOFT ANCHORING TONES THAT LEAVE THE

IMPRESSION THAT ALL IS EVAPORATING INTO IMPENETRABLE DARKNESS. TAKEN TOGETHER, THEN, MOBOROSI REVEALS A COMPLEX AND ADAPTABLE FIGURE IN COLBERT." (ON MOBOROSI) “MAILE COLBERT SUMMONS A VAGUE FULGURATION, A BLUISH SHOT WITH ROSE, ENCAPSULATING

EXPANSIVE YEARNING AND UNRESOLVED TENSION WITH THE BRIEFEST OF MELODIC STROKES. ITS

CHORUS OF SINGING ELECTRONS AND MULTIPLYING RESONANT SHIMMERS REACH OUT TO AND SUGGEST

THE ARCH OF THE SKY LIKE A MAJESTIC CEILING ABOVE THEM, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDING A FINE

FOIL FOR AWAKENING ANCESTRAL VOICES.” (ON RESONANT EMBERS) -MAX SCHAEFER, EARLABS (HTTP://WWW.EARLABS.ORG) "MAILE COLBERT, FROM LOS ANGELES, IS A FILMMAKER, VIDEO AND SOUND ARTIST WHOSE ACTIVITIES

INCLUDE TEACHING SONIC DESIGN AND APPLYING HER CRAFT TO OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK, ESPECIALLY IN

THE MOVIE, DOCUMENTARY AND INSTALLATION AREAS. "MOBOROSI" IS THE AUTHOR'S MISSPELLING OF

THE JAPANESE WORD "MABOROSI", WHICH SHOULD APPROXIMATELY BE TRANSLATED AS "PHANTASMIC

LIGHT" AND ENCLOSE VAGUE CONCEPTS OF "OTHERWORLDLY, A BIT LONELY, A BIT OF LONGING, A BIT OF

HOPE AND WONDER" (A MONK INDICATED A DISTANT LUMINESCENCE IN THE NOCTURNAL VIEW OF AN

HARBOUR TO GIVE COLBERT AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS CONCEPT MEANS). OF THE SAME IMPORTANCE IS THE

QUALITY OF THE RECORD WHICH, ALTHOUGH NOT EXACTLY CONFORMING TO THE TWENTY HERTZ CANON

OF ADVANCED ELECTRONICA, EVOLVED AMBIENT AND DRONING SOUNDSCAPES, IS TRULY OF THE "SHORT

AND SWEET" KIND, LASTING IN FACT ONLY HALF AN HOUR FILLED WITH MOMENTS TO BE REPEATEDLY

SAVOURED AND DEFINITELY REMEMBERED. THE COMPOSER IS EXTREMELY CLEVER IN HER CHOICE OF

NOT FOSSILIZING HERSELF ON A SPECIFIC SETTING, POSSESSING AN UNCANNY ABILITY IN ELABORATING

THE RIGHT ALTERNANCE OF EVOCATIVE AMBIENCES AND JUXTAPOSED PICTURES, OFFERING A SERIES OF

AURAL SNAPSHOTS WHOSE CONTRASTING CHARACTER OUTGROWS THE LIMITS OF THE RECORDED

FORMAT TO EXPAND WITHIN OUR SYSTEM WITH THE DELICACY OF A FINE PERFUME. WE HEAR VOICES

SINGING IN LATIN AND RECITING POETRY AMIDST SLOWLY MELTING BACKGROUNDS, MISSHAPEN DREAMS, STRANGE LOOPS OF ELECTRIC BASS, A CARILLON REPRODUCING "GREENSLEEVES", SNIPPETS FROM OLD

RECORDS -- LA JANEK SCHAEFER, FEMALE CHOIRS, ENVIRONMENTAL FRAGMENTS, IMPRESSIVE

SUBTERRANEAN FREQUENCIES, INTERFERENCES ABRUPTLY CHANGING A PREVIOUSLY ONEIRIC SCENARIO. THE LISTENERS ARE PUT IN CONFRONT WITH THOSE INVISIBLE ENTITIES THAT DEMATERIALIZE THOUGHTS

DURING THE REM PHASE OF SLEEP. IT'S A VERY PERSONAL STYLE, DESPITE BEING MADE OF PRETTY

FAMILIAR ELEMENTS; WE'RE NOT TOO FAR OFF THE TARGET WHEN SUGGESTING NAMES LIKE HELENA

GOUGH AND GAVIN BRYARS AS JUST TWO OF THE MANY ENTRANCE POINTS FOR AN OPTIMAL APPROACH

TO THIS DEEPLY INQUISITIVE RELEASE." -MASSIMO RICCI, TOUCHING EXTREMES (WWW.TOUCHINGEXTREMES.ORG) GRADE: A DISEMBODIED VOICES BOTH RUE AND RULE THE DAY ON MOBOROSI, THE DEBUT ALBUM BY LOS ANGELES

NATIVE COLBERT, BUT IT’S NOT A DISORIENTING EFFECT — SOMETHING THAT CARRIES WITH IT THE

IMPLICATION OF THE REMOTE AND THE DISCONNECTED. RATHER, IT’S AN ALBUM OF COLLECTED

MOMENTS (LIKE A PHOTO ALBUM), OF BIRDS AND CRICKETS AND CITIES CHANGING AND POSSIBLY MUSICAL

INSTRUMENTS IN THERE SOMEPLACE — MOMENTS THAT INSPIRE THE CURIOSITY OF A CHILD WITHOUT THE

VAGUEST SMIDGE OF FEAR. INSPIRING CLOSE AND ATTENTIVE LISTENING, IT’S A COLLECTION OF SPACES: HOLLOW SPACES, TINNY SPACES, PRIVATE SPACES AND “IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THIS?” SPACES. YOU

COME AWAY FROM MOBOROSI WITH THE FEELING THAT SOMETHING SLIGHTLY PROFOUND JUST

HAPPENED, AND YOU WON’T KNOW QUITE WHAT IT IS. NOT YET. -DAVID COTNER, SIGNAL TO NOISE "A WORK IN PERPETUAL ROTE, LONGING FOR A CORNER OR GLIMMER, OR SURFACE, FALLEN AND

ASTONISHED, GRIEVING, HOPEFUL IN TRANSIT, AND BEGINNING, ONLY BEGINNING, TO VIEW THE PHOTO-NEGATIVE, OR BLUR WHERE HEAT IS RISING AND THE ENTROPY OF THINGS IS FAINTLY OK" -IAN COLBERT, POET AND BROTHER (AND LONG TIME WRITING PARTNER)
