Aylu – Profunda Rosa
Emerging from the Argentinian experimental scene, composer Ailin Grad, a.k.a. Aylu, debuts on the always quality Mana imprint with Profondo Rosa, a gorgeous collection of free form electronic compositions drawing from minimalism, electroacoustic, latin music, and footwork. Grad’s sonic palette is an absolute delight; she paints with a wide range of sounds and colors including saxophone, viola, electronic percussion, digital synthesizers, and all manners of found sounds including birds chirping, finger clicks, fizzy drinks, and heavy breathing. Stylistically, the tracks range from delicate percussive workouts to beatless, minimal compositions, to full-on 140+ bpm experimental latin juke. It’s a ride of a listen, for sure, but a total pleasure for the sonically curious. To dive deeper into this world, be sure to also check out Grad’s label Abyss, “a digital label connecting LATIN JUKE with the world.” Check our EOY More Favorites from 2022 feature: https://insheepsclothinghifi.com/now-sound-eoy-2022/
