El trono vacante

"This piece is a collaboration between Cristian Estrella (It Rises All Nectar), and the Catalan guitarist Javi Alcalá. It was composed in Carcassonne (France), recorded in Barcelona, and mixed and mastered in Plovan (France).
"The original idea was to use the soundscape as a painting, with which different elements could be joined together. The birds, originally recorded in the Gatwick Airport reservoir, are segmented by frequencies, and coexist with Spanish guitar, celesta, violins, violas, piano, clarinets, pads, basses, rhythmic sequences, the howling of wolves, the sound of water, and electronics that mark a change of states.
The lyrics appear in spoken word format, and refer to the awareness of our watery condition. It is intended as a call for attention to the care of water, and is articulated with sounds of a branch of the river Hron, in the small village of Nová Baña (Slovakia), where the composer is based. The vacant throne in heaven is that unattainable, utopian place, for which it is worth taking care of our life on earth, which is the only real and concrete thing we have."
