“Gently Annoying” is the latest album by galician artists Xesús Valle takes the listener to a tour around different scenarios where field recordings are tweaked until misrecognition and granular synthesis using a moulding tool over soundscapes and a few works by J. S. Bach himself. The album goes from glitchy pieces where a few sound objects are spread across time to, compositions such as Uetamitos that has a certain resemblance to works by Steve Reich or Morton Feldman. The whole album seems, after a few listening, a history trip across electronic music from the first approaches on synthesis until contemporary electronic music production. This work by Xesús Valle opens a wide horizon of textures, melodies and possibilities. Download “Gently Annoying” of Xesús Valle for free @ Audiotalaia!
