I was previously unfamiliar with this Spanish artist, and it seems that this is his debut album. The label states that “Imaginary spaces, complex algorithms, surfaces, colors, and shapes can all be described in terms of elegant and expressive equations. And those same qualities can be seen in images and heard as music” and describes the album as a way to “introduce listeners to what life might be like in these places, as far removed from the worlds of Descartes as they are from Tron.” Sounds interesting, so let’s get into it.

The opening few tracks are cinematic and evoke a kind of spacey incidental music feel. These otherworldly soundscapes would be right at home in a science fiction film soundtrack. Heavy drone and a lot of bass random noises that keep it interesting. It is well put together and pleasant listening. Still, we review experimental music, so for me, “Auszug IIIB” is where it starts to take an experimental turn with its heavy reverb and chaotic composition. “Shapes of Inner Timespaces: Formas de Espacios Internos” is where it starts to get much more interesting with heavily processed field recordings and lots of processing. This was an interesting composition overall with a nice tension running throughout. “Shapes of Inner Timespaces: Objeto Pulsante VI” is a lot choppier, which made it interesting as it lurches and stutters throughout the track.

“Shapes of Inner Timespaces: Landschaft-V” is one of my favorite tracks on the disc. It's like listening to an orchestra performing in a tunnel. Only there are still cars driving by. There's a healthy amount of reverb and feedback that permeates the track, giving it all a washed out feel that I really enjoyed. “Shapes of Inner Timespaces: Camino de Alba” is almost like the aftermath of the previous track. This is a lot more sparse, with underwater sounding bass drone and bits of crackling noise, ending the disc on a calmer note.

I am always on the lookout for experimental music for people who are apprehensive about experimental music, and this fits the bill. There isn’t anything too jarring or out there, but it is nice listening for people along all points of the spectrum. Overall, this is a nice debut that makes me interested in what Escudero’s next release will sound like.
