Carl Testa - Iris

Review by Ed Buziak

Iris, the latest album by Carl Testa, is a captivating exploration of sound and composition that showcases the artist's immense talent and creativity. The album features a range of experimental pieces that push the boundaries of genre and style, while maintaining a cohesive and engaging sonic landscape throughout.

Testa's use of electronics, acoustic instruments, and field recordings creates a rich and diverse sonic palette that is both complex and accessible. From the haunting textures of "The One Who Was Lost" to the pulsing rhythms of "Iris," each track on the album is a unique and compelling experience that draws the listener deeper into Testa's musical world.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "In a Landscape," a stunning interpretation of the classic John Cage piece. Testa's use of lush harmonies and delicate textures creates a sense of intimacy and introspection that is both beautiful and haunting.

Notes

  • Recorded November 6th and 8th, 2012
  • at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, CT
  • "The music on this recording was generated and recorded in real time, without overdubbing. All of the sounds are either from the bass or a result of live sampling and granular synthesis of the same acoustic material. Each time these pieces are played, a new configuration emerges based on the performance, the recorded sounds, and the unique unfolding of the electronic process." -CT
  • Packaged in a gatefold card sleeve.
