 "El Colapso" is part of a song cycle which presents a collection of ambient influenced songs about escapism, delusion, longing and mortality. It features my friend Bayoán Ríos on charango and zampoña (Andean pan flute) as well as an orchestra of found sounds crafted mostly through cookware and other domestic sounds.

Puerto Rican-born composer and multi-instrumentalist Angélica Negrón writes music for accordions, toys and electronics as well as chamber ensembles and orchestras. Her music has been described as “wistfully idiosyncratic and contemplative” (WQXR/Q2) and “mesmerizing and affecting” (Feast of Music) while The New York Times noted her “capacity to surprise” and her “quirky approach to scoring”.  Her music has been performed at the Bang on a Can Marathon and the Ecstatic Music Festival and she has collaborated with artists like Sō Percussion, janus trio and Face the Music, among others.
