Sometimes the tentacles prolific Sonic Youth, the biggest rock band and visionary of the past 30 years range. This time it's the turn of the pioneering member of a band that has the radicalization maximalist as nature. Lee Ranaldo is now part of codes and symbols central to understanding the experimental rock, but now intends to continue the venture in and objectifying a scenic and thematic reconfiguration challenge to the senses.

The first thing that you can see in the courtyard of the Palau de la Virreina of Barcelona is a Fender suspended from the ceiling. Ranaldo used it, always upright, with sharp control, enabling connections entrained within an evolving mantra of feedback in the form of trance with unrelenting and disturbing beauty. Subjected the public to a transmutation of free association inviting to live among the infinity of the expansive sound particles, atoms of pure noise in alchemical polymerization.
His proposal defies logic convention or in an attempt to subvert the senses ... or the very notion of understanding.

The indefinable theme is established when, at first, Lee Ranaldo admits that he does not know what to try half of his own texts, some taken from his latest book Noise Recitation: Against Refusing. And neutralizes any charge from the start of a claim as is installing markings for rapid fire that inspire their random and unrelated words, phrases profuse free association: sandy black''fury''eternal''planet''world,''I
'll see you when we break free of this organometallic''void''and''(the latter, he said, worthy of being his next tweet).

Created similar to the cut-ups of William Burroughs, spaces where the element of assimilation by the listener must be matched in an attempt imaginative approach, the texts seem to connect with the images of an old movie actor Pierre Clementi experimental projected on the big screen that serves as a backdrop. The guitarist creates a loop of suggestion to a common imagination, eerily drawn into the recesses of consciousness.
All conventional whole recital will be a brief dedication to his friend Jim Carroll.

A succession of lexicons, terminology, neologisms, published in alliteration visceral associations within a quantum language, is what develops Ranaldo. Comparatively her performance is only transferable to a benchmark such as the Beat Generation. The Fender is only relieved of his semiotic hanging to be juxtaposed with an infinity of intoxicating bursts of sounds. During the performance remains minimalist, totemic and seductive, and the converted electric power tool as this is manifested as sonic development. At a time when left alone Ranaldo his guitar, takes the opportunity to enter the public playing a chime.
Are reminiscent of Hindu rituals used to absorb noise and irrelevant concentration mode marked by chants now as molecules drone / feedback.

Merging between thoughts, desires for transcendence and alchemy bombarding the senses, keeps the feeling of reconfiguration, the extreme metaphor: it is necessary to convert our prospects. Ranaldo here seems to transcend the banality of childish multiple realities that have finally made the planet. Try to make out a common psyche intense abstraction implied his seemingly disjointed narrative about how we produce and we devised our own realities, usually under the profusion media that bombards all. That the media unnecessarily invades our lives.
Virtual and real pollution.

Reflections in the form of mantra that Fender produced by vertical eternal loop, as an extrapolated or twisted soundtrack to real time, such self-reflection that accompanies develop a fundamental role in becoming observers but participants. Ranaldo brings out her performance in a cumulative way and ritual, in multidisciplinary assault the senses with the visual impact is considerable restructure its protein and volatile sonic arsenal: guitar effigy vertical suspension eaters meta-narrative that starts from the desert
, where Ranaldo tells us, always start their concerts.

There are a number of persistent efforts in this ritual sound, led the way in which everything is seen and known, imaginary or collective realities, to see beyond a consensus reality and try to configure / decode an intimate experience deciphering the new codes Ranaldo significant potential to spread.
This also includes using the guitar rocking or circular plan on making a mantra of public idealizable odyssey.

Shoot more conventionally with Fender decision only when his arms in the last ten minutes of the concert, erasing the erosion of the collective psyche and enabling new opportunities for connecting audio / visual. This is alien and ethereal, a possible side but never investigated by the rock, with a code overlay wallpaper theme whose melting points to rituals, deserts, nature and paganism.
Imposed disconnection from reality, but also virtual.

The guitarist gets mixed intensive workshop to re-interpret signs in what appears to be a concert multiforme and carved with key variables in endless torrent of distortions, sound or reality, which seem to originate from a squad of guitars as always from a single, which plans indecipherable.
Ranaldo cosmology is infected brutalized beauty and banality, voluptuous sensory invasions ... often as significant avant-garde, unintentionally recalls the title of a topic in the initiation period of his legendary band, revealing retrospect "Stereo Sanctity."
