Comment: What is the cathode? By a first definition it is a negatively charged electrode that is the source of electrons entering an electrical device. By a second definition it is the positively charged terminal of a voltaic cell or storage battery that supplies current. Amanda Irarrázabal (analogue synthesizer, double bass, processors) and Ramiro Molina (electric guitar, processors) collaboration has been prolific for more than 6 years when they created a sonic bridge between Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Santiago (Chile).
Sizigias is their sophomore outing consisting of a couple of albums full of screeching chords and suppressed noises as if an embodiment of an angry person who has lived for a while with obsessive purpose to control his/her overwhelming crushing sensations. What about disc 2? It is certainly more expressive than disc 1 due to those abrasive sounds played on the analogue synth and high-pitched guitar chords and even funny quackish sonic effects here and there. Disc 1 seems to be more donnish though there is thoroughly up a downright experimental/cutting-edge attitude. It might be I split hairs while trying to differentiate the two discs. The main intention of the release is to preserve the invigorating tension/madness between the acoustic instruments and the electronic device. In other words, it is a witty dialogue between the aforementioned instruments. Given that the most intriguing aspect of the music is to represent some elements of the acoustic instruments as electronically treated and vice versa. It is partly a strange mimic and decoupling process in the same whole. Indeed, the purpose gets fulfilled. The intriguing issue is a part of the Chicago, US-based imprint Pan Y Rosas Discos.
