boyas + monolitos by bahía mansa

This is an album about water, seas, and oceans.

******

Monolitos que emergen del océano, en un espacio carente,
El viejo hombre del hoy que naufraga en las aguas bajas
Se libera de la forma y se vuelve espíritu.

Canciones que se convierten en piedra,
Habitan en islas remotas y observan el crepúsculo,
Como faros entre la niebla costera.

Las olas del Infinito ya no emiten sonido o movimiento alguno.

//

Monoliths that emerge from the ocean, in a devoid space,
The old man of today who sinks in shallow waters
Frees himself from form and becomes spirit.

Songs that turn to stone
live on remote islands and watch the twilight,
Like beacons in the coastal fog.

The waves of Infinity no longer emit sound or movement.

"With boyas + monolitos, our man in Chile is lost in the tropics, connecting his scenic electronic compositions to the flora and fauna growing skyward. Looping synths sketch out patterns in the clouds, the music subtly changing shape as it glides effortlessly through the air."

[ Brad Rose @ Foxy Digitalis ]

"For a record inspired by the vastness of the ocean, there is something surprisingly comforting about bahia mansa’s boyas + monolitos. The latest album from the Santiago, Chile artist melds semi modular sequencing and tape looped field recordings. Its gentle, twirling soundscapes bring to mind the crystalline shallows of a Balearic shore as much as they do a navy expanse of open water. “Have you ever thought about dying in the sea?,” the liner notes ask. Although there is a quiet darkness that seeps from the corners of boyas + monolitos, it’s one of the most pleasant ambient records I’ve stumbled upon in quite some time."

[ Ted Davis @ Bandcamp ]
