about
Composed between 2008 and 2011, "Untitled Phenomenas In Concrete" is a piece assembled from 85 UPIC [*] sessions, enhanced with 18 external sounds (among others, recordings of falling snow, cracking bones, magnetic fields and insects).
Interested in Xenakis' approach and wanting to draw the sound before hearing it, Francisco Meirino spent almost 4 years composing "Untitled Phenomenas In Concrete", listening to each line, adding a line/sound as he went along, deleting, reassembling, etc, etc... discreetly sprinkling the work with external sound recordings to humanise the sound and the tool, then finalising the whole thing on magnetic tape to add a little warmth to the coldness of the digital processing by UPIC. In short, a real goldsmith's work whose result, documented on this CD, reveals a coherent sound arrangement of the highest order. A work of immense delicacy, with a result that is as captivating as it is encompassing, of a creeping power, with great attention to sound details, as some of the artist's works can be, in our opinion (obviously) totally successful, easily listened to and adding a non-negligible element/testimony to Meirino's already imposing discography. An excellent work of sound experimentation that we are delighted to play.
