Comment: this is a 2-notch track of unusual choice of music by Ann Deveria under the Spanish experimental imprint Audiotalaia. The beginning part is a 14-minute track consisting of whitish droning imbued with light hisses, accidental electro-acoustic/concrete music episodes a la door opening, walking and other every day's home noises which in fact add a positive, familiar impact upon the track. The pace behind the composition is brought forth by an act of simple pulsating and harmonized phase shifting. One may perceive it as if a dozen channels of electricity was embedded in a huge concave. Despite its apparently pale nature the result does have a deep sensibility.
The second part, however, is a surprise due to decelerated pace based on lone yet atmospheric acoustic guitar plucks and longing dreamy harmonica improvisations as if Route 66 was depicted in a panoramic view meandering in the middle of a secluded, uncivilized landscape as we frequently can see in the movies. It is also the kind of what Sergio Leone would have used in some episodes of his Spaghetti Western movies. Solid by any means.
