The Mancy of Sound finds Coleman at his creative peak, incorporating a lifetime of research into cycles found in nature and astronomy into his musical methods. The word “mancy” is taken by Coleman to be a form of divination: a process of discovering forms and pattern through visualization and study. He had been working on a version of this approach for some time, but was able to further develop this concept during his month-long curatorial residency in 2007 at The Stone, the New York performance space. The music on this release as well as on Harvesting is the direct result of those explorations.
