Tangencial Views – El Pricto

“Tangential Views” is a collection of archive recordings that never made it into a released album. The principal characteristic of these pieces is that they comprise overdubbing and stereophonic juxtaposition of textures as a common feature. They were composed at a time when I was somewhat obsessed with stereo panned minimalist textures made of improvised generative material. This irregular “mirroring” was created by recording and juxtaposing different takes of the same semi-improvised instrumental parts in order to achieve a kind of unreal textural homogeneity of sound and expression.
This album is dedicated to the memory of Miguel Serna, it was always inspiring to play with such a powerful musician while he was around.
