FEATURED ALBUM: Simulaciones

by 

Esteban Gonzales

Released 2017 on El Cirko sello digital

7 tracks, 38 minutes

https://estebangonzalez.bandcamp.com/album/simulaciones

‘Everything we perceive of the world is a simulation of something else.‘ This is a rough translation from the opening paragraph of the album notes and could not resonate more clearly with my own views on perception and reality, broadly as described by Professor Lisa Feldman Barrett in her book, How Emotions Are Made. 

The album opens with Costas which arrives in screeches like the brakes of an old train and then is rapidly intersected by an insistent fast ticking, something of a motif across the album, behind which the sounds transform into musical notes. This gradually settles into a more melancholic mood and announces the album as one of those experimental works with feeling. 

All the sounds that went into the making of Simulaciones were sourced from one 40 second guitar performance by Quique Sinesi and were then edited and digitally manipulated in Ableton Live. 

Distancias provides an initial moment of calm electroacoustic buzz before that insistent tapping rhythm comes back in various guises along with a wonderful palette of sounds that build in tension - the atmosphere has got deep into you before you realise it. 

Forget the notion of a simulation being some lesser version of a reality. Essentially it is just a perception that is making no secret of its existence, unlike most of our continuous stream of perceptions we think constitutes ‘reality’. The brain is just approximating what is there, sufficiently enough to get by. All is perception and this album deliberately leans into this in its construction. This is why I have no truck with notions of pretence or artifice.

Poco is a real stand out track; maintaining a gorgeous warmth with an effortless elegance and playful curiosity which is a complete delight. It is followed by Saturado whose opening chords take you into a kind of 60s spy drama mood that cleverly develops with a lightness of touch into a fabulously abstract, throbbing, glitchy pulse. 

It is hardly an unusual thing in experimental music for sounds to be manipulated beyond the point of recognition - in that is an eternal universe of possibilities, and a lot of the fun too. Here, Gonzales has achieved some exceptional transmutations but, importantly, he has also included some of the original playing and some that seems only semi-transformed, crediting Quique Sinesi on two specific tracks. The first of these is Ronroqueando where the established electronic character beautifully crystallises back towards its Latin guitar origin. The mood works seamlessly with the other tracks, despite being a very different one, which further deepens the perceptual magic. 

Lento slows things down again with a longer, tonal atmosphere that becomes haunted by its origins. The final track, Origen, re-establishes the digital ground the album is built on before bringing Sinesi’s playing in and out to a swirl of dark chords and subtle glitchery. The aesthetics of each combining with an unexpected ease to wonderful effect. 

It is not immediately easy to categorise this album (if one even had an urge to) but it definitely feels very grey clay radio. There is heart and warmth here; a love and respect for the traditions and sounds it was born of and highly skilled digital manipulation throughout. 

If all really is perception, I choose this. 

Inspiring. 

Esteban Gonzales is an Argentinian artist and luthier from Buenos Aires, working in experimental and electroacoustic music and sound art. He also runs the Pulsar Sonoro label and is one half of Liquen Negro, with Pablo Bas.

EX! Magazine is an independent magazine for experimental music and visual art with an international focus. It highlights artists who work outside established structures, radical, exploratory, and genre-crossing, such as David Wallraf, Gudrun Gut, Richard Chartier, and PERIMETER O. EX! features voices and positions that are unique and eclectic in the global art and music scene.

Each issue, spanning approximately one hundred pages, comes with in-depth interviews, background articles, essays, and columns that illuminate artistic processes and deepen aesthetic discourse. Reports with a strong focal point on the experimental scene in Leipzig bridge the gap between the local scene and the international network. The editorial scope is complemented by reviews of current music releases and books, as well as literary contributions that broaden the magazine’s perspective. EX! Magazine is made by artists who come from the experimental art and music circle themselves.
