Sombras is a piece inspired by meditative and minimalistic sounds. We ended each of our concerts in the spring by playing a version of it after subjecting our audiences to our more experimental and weird improvisations. This session was recorded in the red room at Engelsholm folk high school in the spring of 2018.

Castrillón / Steensen duo consists of colombian harp performer Natalia Castrillón and danish electronic musician and sound artist Mark Steensen. 
They are exploring the combination of acoustic and electronic sounds through improvisation and experimentation.

Sombras - Castrillón / Steensen Duo

Discharging Loop er en digital parafrase på William Basinskis Disintegration Loops. Loopet afpilles på en laptop der langsomt løber tør for strøm. Begge værker afslører hvert deres medium, kasettebåndet og CPU'en. Mens Basinskis loops langsomt disintegrerer og strækkes, bliver mit loop insisterende og hårdt kvantiseret, indtil en bræt afslutning.
Stillet op mod hinanden fortæller begge værker noget om deres mediers egenæstetik. Kontrasten imellem det analoge og digitale er slående.

Komponeret til Open Days: festival for ny musik og lydkunst 2018.
