Comment: this course of four compositions stopping by exactly at the 32 minute is as relaxing as it is intriguing. While employing a toy piano, by manipulating it through an immense amount of electronic effects, filters or accompanying it with found sounds like the wind, a remote thunderstorm and rain in different appearances or just intensifying it with elaborated signal processing all the whole will result in a compelling yet effortless result. Emotively the work of the Spanish composer instigates at times neutral sensations due abstract sonic extractions or positive infantile sentiments due to more loosely improvising on the toy piano, at times it is quite gloomy due to using the sound of clocking which reminds of the church bells as a hint of death (the whining wind as a sign of emptiness in the background is about to make the sorrowful feel even starker). Paradoxically, at the recent time, at the time of Coronavirus the churches should be closed though. Lots of sonic patterns and elements used to run permanently through or clash with each other to constitute a second sonic thread as if describing the state of mind within the brain of a pain-trodden deranged human being. No one couldn't foresee back then what would have been happening in a less than a couple of years. Nonetheless this outing already did embrace this feel of havoc and despair and sorrow. The astounding issue is a part of the discography of Audiotalaia, another Spain-related outstanding phenomenon.
