Meirino, Francisco
A New Instability
In 2019, the power-acoustic musician Francisco Meirino presented 'A New Instability', a commission for the venerable Ina-GRM in Paris, the pre-eminent center for the research and study of electro-acoustic music. This recording for 'A New Instability' condenses the 32-channel original piece down to a still very active stereo version. Here Meirino continues to amplify and refine his compositions that walk a fine tightrope between raw expressivity of brutalist noise and conceptual rigor of more academic pursuits. Such a work ranks him in with the likes of Zbigniew Karkowski, Dave Phillips, Puce Mary and Illusion Of Safety. 'A New Instability' is another magnificent chapter in the ongoing body of work for this accomplished composer of electro-acoustic noise.
