The work by these two relatives has been coming out for some time via sonic research, working solo and as part of different projects. But there’s a notorious link behind all the tapes, cables, knobs and electricity around them. They experiment connecting situations, controlling voltage, in order to create this “Raw Opera Vol.2”.
Polwor vs Baltazár take us to a crossroads of dreams, mystical delusions, and parallel universes, where we are able to see the Nexus of separation between this timeline and bypassing to the other side. Sometimes this work takes us somewhere else, feeling like listening to someone else’s daily life, the sounds we’re hearing like field recordings from a universe beyond, or situations we are prone to watch in fever, hallucinations that can perfectly be seen in altered states. “Raw Opera Vol.2” is without a doubt a good way to go.
