A Closer Listen: Lescalleet is "a leading figure in electroacoustic and tape music. He often deploys extended techniques for recording media, including reel-to-reel, cassette, and digital, to produce often minimalist works of abstract sound."
"[He] is also a live performer, sometimes collaborating with video, dance, and other performance artists. This collaborative spirit has also resulted in frequent duos, including with Aaron Dilloway, Graham Lambkin, and Kevin Drumm. Other collaborators have included Phill Niblock, Joe Colley, Rafael Toral, Thomas Ankersmit, and CM Von Hausswolff. There’s an aspect of noise music to what Lescalleet does, particularly if we agree that noise isn’t about volume, and in so far as his experiments in abstract sound have little in common with 'serious' or 'academic' music. Like the aforementioned artists, Lescalleet’s music can reach moments of intensity, but is more importantly sensitive to dynamics, tone, and texture in a way that so much 'noise' music is not.
Jason Lescalleet has released notable works on labels including PAN, ErstWhile, RRRecords, Intransitive, and NNA Tapes. Since 2006, he has run his own label Glistening Examples, many of whose releases have been Lescalleet’s own, including his (once monthly) This Is What I Do series. But Glistening Examples has also put out records from compatriots including Colley, Drumm, Olivia Block, Kate Carr, Retribution Body, Michael Duane Ferrell, Leo Okagawa, Renato Grieco and Francesco Tignola."
"I became a fan of Lescalleet’s following Songs about Nothing and Grapes and Snakes, with Aaron Dilloway, both from 2012. The following year saw the release of the beautiful organ tones of the Archaic Architecture tape, The Invisible Curse, a short mellow collab with Kevin Drumm, and the Photographs LP with Graham Lambkin, completing [a] trilogy."
