about

After more than twenty years of friendship and playing together in different projects, from instrumental Zappa and Stravinsky covers to extreme free improvised outfits, this is the very first time these musicians actually release an album as a trio. Probably it has been easier due to El Pricto's change of instrument (from saxophone/clarinet to synthesizer) that this trio has become viable, but whatever the cause it surely has a local interest because these are three experienced improvisers from the Barcelona scene who know each other very well and have played and hung together a lot.

As it might be expected the music is freely improvised, resulting in a kind of bipolar mixture between very noisy and intense tracks and more calmed down sort of "sci-fi-ish" industrial ambient takes. It should be mentioned that the mixture between sounds generated acoustically through unconvetional means (prepared saxophone and percussion) and electronically mix quite well creating very interesting timbral results.

This is the first part of a double album that takes its concept from the Behenian fixed stars, a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world.
