Info for Bruno S

The trio Alarcón/Ferrari/Cina’s second release concludes the exploration of a sound from the eclectic world of Alarcón. With this trio she looked to translate personal imagery into a genre-less everchanging music.

The triptych on the first side are pieces inspired by a sense of belonging in distress, the seek for a crawling beat in the clouds of sound, the endless inspirations drawn from the South American experience of fast changing circumstances and the spirit of the garage band. Followed by two improvised pieces on the second side, the trio performs a still of their language developed through years of collaboration. The title BRUNO S, is taken from the life of German character Bruno Schleinstein. Freshly arrived in Berlin, Alarcón felt the cold of a society damaged by the culture of individuality and the shaping of a counterculture of underdogs left to bleed out on the street. The harshness yet softness of her voice gives a poignant speech supported by the stacked guitar sound of Ferrari, while Cina walks like a giant on the snow holding the music together.

Lara Alarcón
is an argentinian vocalist ~ improviser and composer ~ Berlin Based and with a foot in Bern. Her work as a vocalist is based on the performativity of the instrument in prosthetic dialectics. Beyond extended techniques she works with sonic complexities and noise. Expanding this by using large amplification, pedals or live electronics, tape recorders, radios, tv. She seeks protolanguage and explores the communicational gesture without the necessity of sense or meaning. In her compositions she composes to improvise. Active in the field of electroacoustic and experimental music, she explores the intrinsic act of playing/performing, shaping time with contrast and intensity. The topics usually are geopolitics as a problematic, madness and mental ‘illness’ as a possibility to explore beyond human capacities.

Started her trainings in voice at the age of 8, later on she studied at Conservatorio Gilardo Gilardi vocal technique, Composition at Universidad de La Plata, ARG and right now continues her studies in Composition at Universitaet der Künste Berlin.
