‘Bestiario’ is a series of short pieces for solo acoustic percussion, recorded live with no overdubs or editing.
Using extremely dense micro-structures, broken rhythms and fast tempos on a very reduced percussion set, those pieces are meant to explore a multi-directional sonic dimension, while keeping a high level of tension. The third volume includes two pieces performed with one cymbal, a frame drum, bow and hands.
This is the fourth in the ALKU series of acoustic recordings.
