ERNESTO DIAZ-INFANTE & JEFF ARNAL: Brooklyn Mantra
Generate, 2009
AVANT-GARDE – Duo: 12-string bajo sexto guitar + percussion on 33rpm 7” vinyl. This is one piece presented in two parts. Well-named, it sounds like a Buddhist chant.
* * * | Fo’s Picks: A
Side A. 5:30 – first half quiet: low, repeated guitar strums; atmospheric percussion drifts up from near-silence. Second half much faster. bells, bottles, blocks, gongs... Arnal shifts to drum kit near 4:00 mark & gets jazzy; guitar drops out, starts the slow strum again.
Side B. 5:45 – chant-like: aggressive strumming over clumpy mixed percussion; slight increase in energy; percussion shifts patterns but guitar dominates. Breaks down after 4 minutes, fades away very gradually. Quiet kalimba(?) cycles for the final 45 seconds.
