about

"A truly monumental and eccentrically beyond-genre work / Prawdziwie monumentalne i ekscentrycznie ponadgatunkowe dzieło"

- Andrzej Nowak, Trybuna Muzyki Spontanicznej

"The artists herein are highly notable for their experience and versatility in the field of free improvisation; some from contemporary music, others from free jazz and avant-rock. The multi-generational blend of the most active avant-garde Barcelonian musicians on this recording is a grand vision of the new-music trajectories currently growing in our city. / Els artistes d’aquest enregistrament són també molt notables per la seva experiència i versatilitat en el camp de la improvisació lliure, alguns procedents de la música contemporània, altres del free jazz i el rock d'avantguarda. La barreja de diferents generacions dels músics d'avantguarda més actius de Barcelona en ​​aquest enregistrament és una visió interessant d'algunes de les direccions de la nova música underground local que està prenent força en aquest moment a la nostra ciutat."
