Santa Rosa by Federico Orio

Santa Rosa is a suite composition for church bells, arranged in album format for an interrupted and immersive listening experience, by composer & percussionist Federico Orio, recorded at the church ‘Santa Rosa de Lima’ on the day that commemorates the birthday of the saint that gives name to it.
The sound of the holy, gigantic bells striped of their sacralised context, leaves us with immense, bronce percussion instruments, with their harshness & sweetness, resonating tones and scratchy mechanics. This special and out-of-the-ordinary album lends itself specially for a deep listening experience that can work as a soothing experience.
