Cuarta entrega de la serie Fractal Guitar<\/em>, cuyo autor es el compositor y guitarrista suizo Stephan Thelen, que comenz\u00f3 en el a\u00f1o 2015.<\/p>\n

Comienza todo con la pieza m\u00e1s extensa, \u201cIn Search of the Miraculous\u201d y finaliza con la m\u00e1s breve, \u201cIn Search of the Miraculous (Coda)\u201d. El mismo t\u00edtulo dedicado al libro del fil\u00f3sofo ruso P.D. Ouspensky que trata del m\u00edstico armenio G.I. Gurdjieff.<\/p>\n

\"StephanLa m\u00fasica suena tensa y atemperada en la apertura, con cierto halo de misterio obsesivo y un final que anuncia la coda que cierra el \u00e1lbum. Una coda atmosf\u00e9rica, lis\u00e9rgica y oscura, casi fantasmal e inmersiva.<\/p>\n

\u201cFractal Guitar Goes to Africa\u201d, es una algarab\u00eda instrumental de ritmos entrecortados, cual reggae<\/em> espacial, si tal cosa existe, y final minimalista.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaumea\u201d es una nueva versi\u00f3n de la aparecida originariamente en su \u00e1lbum Transneptunian Planets (RareNoiseRecords 2022) que grab\u00f3 junto al teclista J. Peter Schwalm.<\/em><\/p>\n

Haumea<\/em> hace referencia al planeta enano\u00a0que se encuentra m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la \u00f3rbita de\u00a0Neptuno, en el\u00a0cintur\u00f3n de Kuiper. Calmada, reflexiva y fresca, de ambientes vol\u00e1tiles, de c\u00f3smicos pasajes ingr\u00e1vidos y perspectivas de precisi\u00f3n cient\u00edfica.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrossroads (for Bill Laswell)\u201d, es la composici\u00f3n elegida como sinton\u00eda del v\u00eddeo de presentaci\u00f3n del MoonJune<\/em> Festival de Teramo (Italia) a celebrar los d\u00edas del 22 al 25 julio de 2026. Dedicada al bajista Bill Laswell, cuyo sonido hipn\u00f3tico, cadencioso, percusivo y obstinado, insin\u00faa esencias \u00e9tnicas y ambientales en las manos de Yogev Gabay y Giri Subramaniam, que adornan Stephan Thelen, Markus Reuter y Eivind Aarset.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreatures of the Night\u201d, densa, tensa e intensa, perturbadora e inquietante.<\/p>\n

\u201cEclipse, Phase 1 (Into the Darkness)\u201d y \u201cEclipse, Phase 2 (Into the Light)\u201d, dos fases contradictorias que van desde la oscuridad a la luz, como el yin y el yang del tao\u00edsmo. Preconizando el Eclipse total de Sol del d\u00eda 12 de agosto de 2026 en Espa\u00f1a. La primera es recurrente, neur\u00f3tica y oscuramente fantasmal, en la segunda encontramos un giro hacia texturas new age<\/em>, pasajes y atm\u00f3sferas sonoras din\u00e1mico-fervorosas que se elevan sin pudor de la mano de Stephan Thelen.<\/p>\n
