Graciela Paraskevaídis - Magma
Review by denzdii gustiana
Magma, the latest album by Graciela Paraskevaídis, is a mesmerizing collection of experimental compositions that showcase the composer's unique approach to sound and form. The album features six tracks, each exploring different sonic landscapes and textures, from the hauntingly sparse opening track "Fuego" to the dissonant and frenzied "Magma II".
Throughout the album, Paraskevaídis employs a wide range of instrumental and electronic sounds, creating a rich and dynamic sonic palette that is both intricate and immersive. The composer's use of extended techniques and unconventional instrumentation, such as the bowed cymbals and prepared piano in "Magma III", adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the music.
Despite its experimental nature, Magma is not an inaccessible or austere work. Paraskevaídis's compositions are imbued with a sense of emotion and humanity, and the album as a whole is a powerful and deeply affecting listening experience.
