La Niña Junco

Watersound beautiful and rewarding listen

r one of my fav releases from this label, Perfect ambient music Favorite track: Navidad en el bosque.

editions vaché Durand makes great work with whatever he is using- from tinkling, childlike wanderings to dusty drones, he projects his inner self- and this is no exception. Using a limited palette, he makes gorgeous lines that interweave and mutate...this work is not unlike a great painter who decides to make a series with a charcoal stick, two pencils and a watercolor pad......

about

Argentinian musician Federico Durand returns with his 2nd full length album on 12k following 2016’s A Través Del Espejo (12k1085). Taking his already minimalist composition style Federico challenged himself by using only one synthesizer for this beautiful album of sparse, hypnotic dustiness. His talent for creating works of so much emotion out of so little attest to his concentration when working and his passion for the craft. La Niña Junco is a handwoven gem. Music with a humble origin and a deep resonating soul. Famed Argentinian artist Lola Goldstein graciously illustrated the album cover, caputuring the idea of memory and object that is so infused with Federico’s work.

"Immersed in the beauty of the very moment, the songs for La Niña Junco were recorded in one take during two days, in a rush of inspiration. I used a small sound palette: one instrument, a Crumar Performer synthesizer along with two looping pedals and Roland Space Echo RE-201. The Crumar was my first synthesizer. I bought it many years ago and then gave it to a friend, who later lent it to my brother. After a very long time, I got it back when we moved to La Cumbre, a small town in the central mountain area of Argentina. As this instrument has a very limited but beautiful oscilator, it was rewarding to make small melodies using only its almost magical sound. I was enchanted to have the chance to play with my Crumar again: in many ways this album feels like returning to an early home. The electric noises of my old, broken keyboard, were an unexpected and musical gift and a humble proof of the passing of time."

a beautiful and consistent record. The continuous yet slow progression of the composition creates immersive and harmonic textures, always flourished with ambient sounds. Although not very detail-oriented, the record produces interesting textures throughout, and reveals amazing timbre and production. As relaxing as enjoyable. Vasco Completo
