ALBERT GIMENEZ

"ZIV"

G3G

Guitarist and ex-Neuronium member Albert Gimenez gathers imaginative musical ideas in this album, under a general focus approaching Ambient, Psychedelic Rock and Dark Space Music. Much of the music is icy, ghostly, radically electronic. There are slow passages with other lively ones. In the former, the structure is fluid, not being limited to a few fixed chords. In the latter, sequencers and percussion play a leading role driving the music towards the Cosmic Sequencer trend and the Atmospheric Pop. "Maquinaria Espiritual" has a fast sequencer rhythm, and other pieces also have sequenced, yet more deliberate rhythms. The guitar synthesizers, played by Gimenez, have the leading role, although they are accompanied by some keyboard synths and electronic devices. The structure of the music consists, apart from the rhythm in the parts where there is such, of difused melodies that come and go, dense, atmospheric environments that surround these melodies, and occasional sound effects, that in some passages are an important part of the ambiance. The artist, in this occasion, has surrounded himself with several brilliant musicians who accompany him in the sequencers, keyboards and other instruments: Victor Nubla and Juan Crek from Macromassa, Dom F. Scab and Anthony Seagarr from At-Mooss, Alain Wergifosse and Anki Toner.
