Various Artists - Juncture (2004)

The album Juncture is a collaborative effort involving over fifty artists, merging literature, visual arts, and experimental music. Curated by Pi Recordings, the project serves as an anthology of tracks inspired by stories from the collection of the same name. The recording features leaders of New York's contemporary improvisational and electronic music scenes.

The record's genre diversity ranges from abstract hip-hop and electronics to avant-garde jazz. The core concept focuses on the synergy between different creative disciplines, where music functions as an extension of the text. The release demonstrates the artists' willingness to engage in radical experimentation and venture beyond their primary generic identities, creating a cohesive portrait of innovative culture in the early 2000s.
