JOYFULTALK is a project of Canada's Jay Crocker, whose hypnotic, polyrhythmic compositions incorporate a wide array of influences, including techno, Krautrock, minimalism, avant-jazz, and Japanese environmental music. On albums such as 2018's Plurality Trip, JOYFULTALK created choppy, kinetic pieces utilizing instruments built by Crocker. A Separation of Being (2020) is a brighter, more refined work composed as a massive graphic score, and Familiar Science (2022) is an improv-heavy jazz-rock excursion.
