<p><em>[há metafísica bastante na realidade]</em> is the work of Bianca Zampier from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is a collection of short, largely guitar-based, drones. Whilst the modern guitar sounds are unmistakable at times, Bianca nonetheless creates dense, melancholic soundscapes using distortion and reverb that have a desolate, old-world feel to them.</p> <p>The deep reverb sweeps through the scene, obscuring our view of a grandiose past, a once vital landscape, now ruinous and decayed…</p> <p>More familiar sounds pepper the thick soup of drones and anchor us—more or less—in the present…</p> <p>The now ghostly images of the past swirl, mingle, merge in a morass of dying reverb…</p> <p>“Wasabi”, whilst offering some respite from the confusion, leaves us alone to face our thoughts, those underlying tones, themes, in a dark, lonely space. Delayed, finger-picked guitar strings ping-pong and decay into unfathomable black depths.</p> <p>“Paquetá”, the final entry, hints at some resolution to the troubles of past; the somewhat brighter tones of a glockenspiel tread cautiously, delicately, towards the future, beyond the recent darkness.</p> <p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/domingoblanco" rel="nofollow">Follow Domingo Blanco on SoundCloud.</a></p>
