The Stones Of The Threshold

Released

Like Francisco López, Eric La Casa doesn’t so much transform the familiar (babbling water, thunder, wind, etc.) as open its heart like a book through intuitive juxtaposition. By adding chimes, gongs, crumpling paper, and the stomping of feet, he expands the grammar of a materialistic worldview with diacritical processes of his own making. The resulting dialogue embodies what Roland Barthes called “the grain of the voice,” only here bereft of its corporeal trappings. The final title track contains parts 1-3 of a work continued on a rare release from the now-defunct Edition … label, also worth hearing.
