CICLICA
Autocracy Of Deception, Volume II
If the first volume, Autocracy of Deception, explored the imposition of the extemporaneous gesture as an illusion of tangible presence, CICLICA instead investigates its senescence, shifting the focus from the genesis of the act to its inevitable erosion over time. Structured into Movement I, Movement II, Movement III..., the work unfolds as a continuous crossing rather than a succession of tracks.
In this second chapter, the dialogue between solo guitar and electronics is filtered through the material degradation of magnetic tape, giving shape to sonorities that reject the idea of a symmetrical return to the origin and instead open onto a dynamic of subtraction, loss, and mutation.
