Comment: ELoR is a Spanish duo consisting of Antony Maubert and Edith Alonso which started off in 2007. The recent album compiled of 4 long-running tracks is but a little more than an array of digital hisses and crackles. It is an example of digital metaphysics, a kind of aiming at re-creating a new system incorporating the elements of musique concréte, noise, microsounds, (modern) classical. Moreover, those minimally sounding stretched sounds (before developing into noise) do chime impressively haunting. Or some lone piano chords are laced with the voice of pigs. More generally, it is a crossroad between electro-acoustics/acousmatics, digital sound processing, and sound art.
