Memoryscapes

Memoryscapes are three short pieces of electroacoustic sound, composed between November 2012 and February 2013 in Marseilles (France). In Clara’s own words, “although not conceived to be part of the same album, each composition became an extension of the precedent, coming out from a common query, in which subjectivity and personal introspection are a choice”.

Les autres jours is a brilliant theme that starts with evocative sounds of a microscopic nature that stretches slowly. In its second half, the glitchs become mute questions marks that fade away without getting any answers. Un peu is an electroacoustic micro-poem in which we can listen to the voice and poetry of Laura Vazquez, Clara’s partner in ElFuegoFatuo. Nardas closes the mini-Ep as the most compact theme of the whole: a wall of sound and glitch effects superbly disposed in the space.

Settled in Marseilles (France), Clara de Asís is an electroacoustic composer and guitarist. Her style is based on improvisation and sonic experimentation, and she builds herself the devices to produce the sounds. She participated in the first Laptop Orchestra of Andalusie (2010) and has taken part in several festivals of experimental music, like FamFest, Intr:muros Lab or UBICUA’12. Her pieces have been promoted in France Musique, Radio Grenouille, Radia and the Cité de la Musique de Marseille, where she pursues studies on electroacoustic composition. She’s also a founding member of the intermedia and poetic collective, ElFuegoFatuo.
