about

For this album, I was asked to compose based on the texture of the photo of the album cover, which is a zoom photo of a painting by Maurice Cullen, a Canadian impressionist. The record is called 'grietas' (cracks in English) because I kind of imagined wandering through those microscopic passageways on the canvas. I decided to record some ideas on tape, and then work on them via Ableton. Maurice Cullen's painting The Water Carriers shows a fascination with the effect of light on snow. Perhaps and unintentionally, it is precisely that 'grietas' is a darker album, not in a neurotic but rather subtle way, like heaviness. I also really wanted to play piano, so it is a present instrument, well not as a protagonist in any case.

"Sunday suitable & gently restless in all the right relaxing ways the new LP from Chile's Bahia Mansa for Quebec's Florina Cassettes not only unites the America's but is a rare slice of ambient endeavour eminating from the continent's Latin regions."

[ The Slow Music Movement ]
