Rafael Toral – Spectral Evolution – LP

22.00

Moikai


Threading together twelve distinct episodes into a flowing whole, “Spectral Evolution” alternates moments of airy instrumental interplay with dense sonic mass, breaking up the pieces based on chord changes with ambient ‘Spaces’. At points reduced to almost a whisper, at other moments Toral’s electronics wail, squelch, and squeak like David Tudor’s live-electronic rainforest. Similarly, his use of the guitar encompasses an enormous dynamic and textural range, from chiming chords to expansive drones, from crystal clarity to fuzzy grit: on the beautiful ‘Your Goodbye’, his filtered, distorted soloing recalls Loren Connors in its emotive depth and wandering melodic sensibility.  The product of three years of experimentation and recording, and synthesizing the insights of more than thirty years of musical research, “Spectral Evolution” is the quintessential album of guitar music from Rafael Toral.
