about

Originally released on Sama Recordings; physical copies available

samarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/quixosis-descomposiciones-samatape011


Descomposiciones is a series of parametric experiments with digital degradation of analog sounds. A compositional method based on the decomposition and breakdown of existing structures. Like a grated carrot. Temporary moments of stasis on the path to silence, total dissapearance. The source material for the degradations comes from personal analog tapes, used cassettes, failed projects, and devastated records spinning for their last time, but it is also composed of synthetic forests, unexpected lullabyes, crowds of nostalgia dissolving, into a convolution of parts.

at its core this tape is an attempt at non linear music, an ambient space in which to reside, if only for a moment. anti stories, the breaking of narratives into processes. the disentanglement of story, into not word, but letters, or even particles of ink turned to moist and luscious dust.

This tape is about process. about composing through destruction, and decay. about reducing something to its atomic components, and building something else, something totally distinct out of its atoms. It is about mesmerizing detail. It's about change. Its' a sound compost, that by decomposing, enriches the topsoils of our future endeavors.

Descomposiciones is the first Ambient album by Ecuadorian sound maker Quixosis. It was produced between 2016-2018 and will be released officially on June 15th on samarecordings in a live presentation in Vienna.
