eric la casa: les pierres du seuil 4-7 cd


This may be La Casa’s best release yet. As is often the case, this series of related pieces centers on the sounds of water. But as La Casa listeners know, his approach is far from traditional. These compositions are constructed from, as he likes to say, "only field recordings", but the way he layers and builds the pieces is quite unique. He’s more interested in the emotional and dynamic qualities of these sounds, than in documentary purposes of any kind. Expect to be taken on a sonic journey of unusual subtlety and power. From tiny syncopated drips and crackles, to encompassing roars that swell and dissipate, La Casa has a way with editing that is by turns disarming and utterly fascinating. --earth ear catalog
