Things To Do At A Wedding For A Deceased Relative



Ignacio Briceño / Crazy Girl - Split (Buh Records, BR07, 2010)

The delirious combination of environments and sound materials Ignacio Briceño makes his work a kind of cousin distant from the hysteria that featured Scissor Shock few years ago. Electronics, guitars, programmed drums, samples of porn and sitcoms, and even truncated melodies Sabato teacher's voice is processed in the first two cuts in the famous Briceño Ableton Live program, creating an extremely thin, as post-rock, lo-fi of the era of communication. The extensive "Climbing the mountain upside down," in fact, it is enjoyable in a strange, inexplicable way, taking as a pastiche of a very musical quality. The second cut Briceño, tecladito bathed in delay and reverb in the way, confirms what the post-rock although not so pleasant, but at least serve as a respite from the impending attack of Girl Crazy.
The songs are obvious intention Girl Crazy-project's music, Diego Contreras-to create music stuck in corners ritualistic, pseudo-shamanic (and what about the name of the piece: "one more Spirit in my soup.") The ghostly vocals are complemented by bells, drums and drones elusive that first impression, do not get to say too much. Halfway through the track, however, all the elements begin to achieve some consistency. The recording fidelity quite low, adds a prickly air the issue, as if it were the record of a sort of pagan ceremony underground industrial earring. As in the case of Ignacio Briceño cuts, the participation of "Girl Crazy" is a job offer fully spontaneous based on the experimental improvisation feverish, which undoubtedly holds the charm of the moment but inevitably lacks the power of compound work.
