Uno Todo Tres fills the mind with ‘is not’ everythingness, transported by the frail waver of the single sound that de Asís, a Spanish electroacoustic composer living in France and playing prepared, tabletop electric guitar, proceeds to infinitely split and splice.
That which is not crawls into everything and takes its place (freely from a poem by Ann Jäderlund). The understated, singing drone of Clara de Asís is is not asserting itself.
Uno Todo Tres fills the mind with is not everythingness, transported by the frail waver of the single sound that de Asís, a Spanish electroacoustic composer living in France and playing prepared, tabletop electric guitar, proceeds to infinitely split and splice. In common with the extended, Tibetan Buddhist inspired works of Eliane Radigue, it is uncanny how, like some kind of cybernetic sculpture, her piece wraps itself around your brain, shifting shape and even shifting sound with each new listen, concretizing abstract entities, bringing the all-embracing is not into focus.
De Asís understands how much the listener brings to the music by bringing the music with such resolute precision.
Uno Todo Tres is available directly from the artist and via Metamkine.
