Comment: by watching the spongy cover print of this 6-track issue it could be said it describes the outing quite well. Indeed, it is a gaunt collection of signal-alike progressions which used to reach maximum from its minimal premisses. Mostly it is relied on shrill, noisy droning as if coming from the sonic laboratory. On the other side, it is not surprising at all because the Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain-based artist is being active as a producer and interested in the sound in the first place. Because of that his sound can be considered an example of anti-music, the kind of sonic formalism. Furthermore, it is determined partly by music programmes such as SuperCollider, and Puredata, therefore representing the collaboration between artificial intellect, and human being`s flexibility. The big question is – how it is possible to create the most desolate and dejected soundscapes, could it be done by the human being alone or does he/she need some assistance by machines as well? How it is the most proper way to evaluate it? Yeah, it is intriguing by its concept and by its sound being released on tecnoNucleo.
