I was unfamiliar with this artist, but the webite says “Barcelona/Soria,” so I would guess that he hails from Spain. The liner notes state that “Albert Negredo uses various disciplines such as photography, video, sculpture, installation, sound and digital art, or fashion, to perform works that revolve around 3 positions: the patient in his environment, temporary, perpetual or finite, the doctor or specialist, and the social. To do this, Negredo creates pieces linked to pathologies, discomforts, states, healings, treatments, illnesses ... to combine the visual arts, not only with the psychology and psychiatry, but also with religion and philosophy.” With that as an introduction, let’s dive into the music and see what the diagnosis is this time.

This release consists of one track, CortexM3. Evidently, Cortex M3 is a type of processor for microcontrollers, but I do not know if this is what the track is based on. This track is an interesting mix of noisy drones. There is a mix of low drone and high pitched, heavily reverbed sounds. If this is based on pathologies, as the liner notes suggest, it feels like Negredo is channeling the feeling of anxiety, because the overall work is somewhat unsettling. I mean that in a good way, of course. Overall, an engaging work. This album weighs in at just over 11 minutes.
