Vasco Trilla - A Constellation Of Anomaly

Following his Acoustic Masks, the new record Constellation of Anomaly is Vasco Trilla’s 6th solo album, bringing a new palette of sounds with a vast array of percussion instruments played in numerous creative and unconventional ways.

russian Flat bells bowed and played with vibrating objects, a timpani full of wind-up music boxes and spiced up by a transducer speaker, an old zither hit as a drum with two snare drums as resonators, Iranian round bells mixed with gamelan strips, styrofoam and triangles… All coalesce in a narrative album that reflects on how to emancipate percussion of beat and pulsation, creating rich textures, drones, intricate layers of sound. Pure percussion Music.
