"Transistores de aire" is the first collaborative release between two of the best Argentinean experimental artists nowaddays: Anla Courtis (guitarrist of the essential, well-known experimental band Reynols) and Pablo Reche, a drone/noise master, with apparences in festivals as Mutek (2005) and Sonar (2000). Recorded during the summer of 2005 in Buenos Aires, "transistores de aire" is a long, subtle, obscure and minimal drone, a piece without any kind of condiments, envelopes and/or make-up; just a pure, naked and dark piece suspended on a close space, as an oscillating movement of the air contained in an old analog machine.

Reviewer:LAJ - - April 1, 2006 Subject: Cold, Gray, Isolationist Drone For me "Transistores de aire" EP is the quintessence of icy, gray, minimal isolationist drone. Images of being completely alone in a stark, unwelcoming landscape flash across my mind. Fluctuating waves of low rumbling noise coupled with sad, transparent tones, and menacing slices of feedback create a cold, heavy atmosphere as occasional shreds of elecronic scrapes act like a bitter wind stinging my face. One listen to this 18+ minute oppressive drone and you'll know why it's so brief - one could not last this long under these conditions. -LAJ-
