Schon die Nr. 15 in der “series economiques”, immer noch eine sehr günstige Möglichkeit, sich neuen Namen & Musiken des INA GRM-Labels zu nähern....Zwei Stücke mit fast 38 min. Länge von diesem mexikanischen Komponist....fast unbeschreibliche elektronische & akustische Klänge, fragmentarische Perkussion-Sounds sind auszumachen (steel drums, Triangel), hintergründige Drones & elektronisches Sirren.... aufregend & neu!

First full CD issue by Alvarez, featuring 2 long works from 2000/2002.

"Mexican composer interested in the rhythmic and acousmatic interaction between instrumental and electroacoustic sound. This disc reunites two works that prompt the listener to cast an aural gaze at the interior of sound itself. In the first, we are presented with a gamut of imaginary landscapes, symmetries and spaces inspired by the unexpected geometry of cacti. The second work brings us to the extraordinary sound of the steel pans, intricately intertwined within a shimmering path of fugitive trajectories and metallic resonances." [label info]
