Description:

Ensamble AcÃºstico was conceived in the early 1980s by Billy Pereyra and Eduardo Roland in Blancarena, a resort on the coast of the RÃo de la Plata, east of Colonia, Uruguay. In 1989, after only a few performances, the duo released their first and only album: a cassette of eight songs titled â??Un Exceso De Luzâ?? (â??An Excess of Lightâ??), coreleased by independent labels Perro Andaluz (Uruguay) and Circe (Argentina). Despite being limited to just 500 copies the album was critically acclaimed and lauded as the first â??new ageâ?? project to come out of Uruguay. Yet lumping â??Un Exceso De Luzâ?? into that most vast and heterogenous confluence of musical genres, akin to â??world musicâ??, dismisses the alchemical breakdown of minimalism with gestures of contemporary jazz, exemplified by the shifting harmonic figures of â??En Los Campos de Coloniaâ?? (â??In the Fields of Coloniaâ??). Pereyra and Roland sound strings in tandem, forming harmonic compositions that generate unexpected resonances. Together they build a climatic character that gives the sound of Ensamble AcÃºstico its most distinctive seal, sharing more with the aesthetics of contemporary jazz than the nebulous new age label. The opening track â??Cuando la Nostalgia GuÃaâ?? (â??When Nostalgia Guidesâ??) raises not a question so much as a provocation that hints at its own temporal limitations - as an unfinished sentence. â??Reposo de la Hierbaâ?? (â??Repose of the Grassâ??) meanders through grassy fields before â??A Ras de Cieloâ?? (â??Flush With Skyâ??) reveals the â??Excesoâ?? of the title track. These are the great ungroundings of modernity that saw the heavens open and dissolve the celestial sublime, leaving us with a godless excess of space and time. Perhaps â??new ageâ?? is a more fortuitous classification than we originally suspected. As Roland tells us, â??music is the expression of a new worldâ??. -
