Comment: you
are searching for profound and tranquil soundscapes to find a remedy
for suffocating your desperate feels and borderline madness. You are
aware of the premiss the ideal album must have the imposing centre
point being surrounded by many and frequently changing satellite
sounds. The method makes sense. Josè Barrera aka Bite's 9-track
release on basic_sounds makes sense in that way. It is just an
infinite moving where it makes no sense to remember the starting
point and the finishing point. Any temporal moment and chord makes
sense. The music is very present in any present moment. Given that
you have entered into the sphere of continuous present and it does
mean the term time makes no sense altogether. That's the point.
Musically you hear at times hammering at times slightly lofty piano
chords followed by one another and at the same time being accompanied
by acidic electronic counterpoints, microscopic noises and ennobling
natural sounds. For example, the self-titled track is a fabulous
incantation full of profound, iterative, magic reality. Indeed, it
bites you. And the rest of eight tracks do the same effect. Superb
work by any means. I guess if Beethoven could have had the same
technical possibilities he would produce an analogous stuff but
instead of the known musical and historical reputation he might have
a more hidden influence upon us.
