CUERPOS TOCADOS - MUSIC FOR THE BODY

A creative, heartfelt and almost exhaustive exploration of the vocal range. From breathing to whistling, from murmuring to wailing. It all begins with a game that moves on to an invocation. The voice soars into the mountains and dives into the waters. In the same way that in his string quartet Penderescki makes exclusive percussive use of the wooden bodies of the instruments, Flairck also appealed solely to his own bodies to achieve this corporeal and sounding disc (which, to top it off, has an exquisite cover). In the end, the album is a valuable addition to the discography of Flairck, one of the most well-versed and refined groups in the history of avant-garde progressive rock.

Please, open your ears and welcome this excellent addition to any prog rock music collection.
