Jeane Lee, Conspiracy, 1974

The first sounds of the sonic somposition of CONSPIRACY are “Angel Chile,” from Jeanne Lee’s album, “Conspiracy” (1975), which also inspired the title. In this song, Lee’s avant-garde jazz is expressed through a mixture of what almost sounds like stifled laughter, staccato breathing, crescendos of hypnotic wailing, and precisely softened screeching.
