This intriguing and ephemeral little seedee is a recording of a live show by Garcia in a converted water tower. The performance made use of on-site recordings and shards of electronically generated micro-sounds broadcast into and manipulated by the 15 second reverb of the space. It's a dark and solemn recording laced with trepidation and tense, elongated drifts of sound as Garcia painstakingly casts his sounds into the ether.
It's a deep and infectious set that must have been fun to experience first hand as even second hand it's nicely immersive.

Of much more interest is the 3"CDR by Miguel A. Garcia, who came down (up?) from noise and plays something more interesting these days. Although this being on RONF, known for some of its more harsher and brutal sounds, this is quite an interesting deep work. The gallery is located in an old water storage tank, with a large amount of reverb. Garcia plays some dark sounds into them, but its sparsely orchestrated. He shoots as it were these sounds into the space and waits until they died out, before reloading his sonic gun. Over the course of twenty minutes it grows a bit more intense, but throughout it stays on the sparse side. No noise was harmed in making of this work. An excellent work of one of the more promising new faces on the microsound scene. (FdW)
