Various Artists | Salutations (LP, RSD 2022)

Adult Swim and RVNG Intl.’s Salutations inaugurates a series of meetings, greetings, group assemblies and exercises along the invisible plane created through correspondence.

The question of how similar we are arises in the simple form of contact, and how we choose to embrace the potential of that moment and one another. Through correspondence, we connect, communicate, and form community. At first, correspondents with one another, and through the processes of collaboration and transmission, we correspond to parallel and intersecting collective cores.

This eternal network, undoubtedly informed (consciously or subconsciously) by some celestial or spiritual force, becomes a portal to practice social responsibility and an access point to a wider, inclusive universe of information. In turn, the network becomes a human phenomenon, as well as a potent demonstration of art and collectivism. As the world heals, and evolves through future changes, having this network in place provides a vessel to and grow/glow beyond our corporeal state.

Salutations features twelve pieces of new music from artists near and dear to RVNG’s sphere, including Isik Kural, Satomimagae, vhvl, Visible Cloaks, Sign Libra, Dialect, Batu, Anna Homler, Diatom Deli, Emily A. Sprague, Rachika Nayar and Nina Keith, and Wayne Phoenix. The compilation was first shared by Adult Swim on Wednesday, September 15, with a wider release the following day. This RSD 2022 release marks its first pressing on vinyl.
