Comment: Xesùs Valle is a knob-twiddler from Galicia, Spain whose current album of 12 compositions consists of glitchy beats, rough bass thudding and more or less microtonal frequencies, abstract digitalized chirps and twitters, some ambient-affected appearances and noiseful progressions within it. Sometimes it is emotionally evocative and even obsessive (full of glowering repetitions and minimal shifts within it). It is a sophisticated and intriguing issue of basing on algorithm-induced analogue and granular synthesis. In a word, it is a consistent result.
