"There are three challenges in my life. The first is being black in a white culture. The second is being transgendered in a hetero-normative culture. The third is being an artist in a business culture” - Glenn-Copeland

 
 
 

KEYBOARD FANTASIES

Recently awarded the Slaight Polaris Heritage Prize in 2020, Keyboard Fantasies was originally self-released on cassette in 1986. Entirely recorded on DX-7 and TR-707 in the northern Canadian town of Huntsville, it lies musically somewhere between new-age and (accidentally) early Detroit techno experiments. The inimitable style of BGC here is both peaceful and meditative while simultaneously rhythmic and bass heavy. The album is a beautiful fusion of personal vision, technology and place.

The 35th anniversary re-issue of Keyboard Fantasies is available now on vinyl, CD and cassette, including extended liner notes written by Robyn.

BEVERLY GLENN-COPELAND

Transmissions is available now on vinyl, CD and all streaming platforms featuring extended liner notes written by Dev Hynes of Blood Orange.

PRIMAL PRAYER

First released in 2004 under the pseudonym ‘Phynix’, Primal Prayer’s 8 tracks are a wildly creative fusion of jazz, world, dance and classical influences. Sonically the album is almost without comparison, a life-affirming acknowledgement of the many paths we humans walk to enable us to open our hearts and lives to each other.

Available now on CD and vinyl via ORG Music.
