Music
The ecstatic architectures of Catalan composer, pianist and vocalist Marina Herlop twist through dense layers of harmony and invented language, producing melodies that shimmer intangibly as they’re sung. Carnatic music and konnakol, together with her conservatory background, have shaped her intricate harmonic sensibility to the machinery underneath. Collisions of classical piano accentuate her radically elastic vocal technique, their figures splintering into digital fragments while stacked vocals bloom into huge choral structures. These elements multiply within their electronic nest, spawning compositions that lurch from delicate intimacy into futuristic turbulence within moments.
