Space Solo 1

Description
2007 release for this Portuguese musician/producer, his 11th overall, another continuation of his ''Space Program.'' With the release of the first album of the program, the eponymous Space, he managed to disrupt the notions of avant-garde music, choosing to focus on ''single sound events.'' The sounds are generated by self-devised electronic equipment set into action by the performance of gestures, by bodily action .Thus, the music is created by individual decisions in real time -- just like in Jazz, as Toral emphasizes. So basically, this is Electronic music played with a Jazz sensibility. Space Solo 1 presents the listener with music that is narrowed down almost to a point: everything is concentrated on a single element. The key feature of this music is that it was performed with a degree of skill, a commitment and a depth of exploration that could not be found on an orchestral record. On this album, Toral appears as a musician who simply plays an instrument on an individual, human and physical level. One cannot help but notice that Toral is opening up a new dimension in music -- and maybe also in language. Welcome to a new mode of expression. Quicksilber.
