Monte Espina - Pa
We are all particles. A confluence of smaller and smaller pieces fused together in time and space. Gravity holds us down, keeps everything in check for lifetimes of potential serenity. But turbulence is all around and permeates all existences. Like water changing from ice to liquid, boiling to steam, the containing environment catalyzes closely meshed particles in varying degrees. The human life path similar both physically and emotionally. Monte Espina describes in sonic detail chaotic factors of flickering eddies and changing currents applied to the world we live. Their mechanism is an aural pressure cooker called Pa. Sounds circulating with our conscious in an unknown orderliness of incredible fortitude.
With over an hour of creativity on one piece, Pa has a seemingly infinite amount of time to loose you it's margins. An underlying drone holds stature, like the engines powering a fantastically giant vessel. We listen into the connectivity of all that makes it so. Pa is blissful emptiness slowly pressed by subtle pressure. The relationship is like a barren field sewed with sinuous plants. We hear life within the seed, a completely foreign composition of both organics and circuitry. The outer covering begins to deteriorate as the growing pressure from within constantly strains it's containment. The sonic seedling breaks through and begins a push upward against a layer of crust, each molecule moved amplified and brought to our ears by Monte Espina. This sprout finally surfaces and begins it's bask in full radiation. Pa finds solitude in all of these processes and more. A beautiful vacuousness continuing in infinite directions, serenity juxtaposed with the clamor of equally infinite outside vectors, the strains of this affinity brought vividly to our thoughts by Monte Espina and their alluring composition Pa.
