vinduskarm by miguel a. garcía
"Basque composer of electroacoustic music Miguel A. García offers in his new album, titled "Vinduskarm", seven pieces divided in three sections. The first section contains the piece "Ephyka Fatalum (Opening Time)", juxtaposing industrial to minimal sonic events, linked under a common delicate sense of sound. Moving on to the second chapter, we find three pieces: "Acuphenos (Vinduskarm)", "A Bad Lesson in Brückner" and "Emotional Ear Test". Here we cope with a complete study in drones, noise and silence. The third part of the album is made of the last three pieces: "The Cube", "Inne" and "Last Piece". For the first time harmony is barely audible, sunk into piles of processed acoustic instruments (brass and stringed), resulting in an alienated sonata form... Throughout the album, entirely composed in 2006, there is mystery evident in each grain of sound, in each cluster of tones, in every resonant aural texture... Mystery that gets baptized in a triple bath of synthetic sound, acoustic sound and field recordings. "
