ONOMATOPEYAS by Pablo Elinbaum+Pablo Díaz

If we were to name something that conceptualises this album, it would be the statement: try not to avoid waiting, or in other words, try not to play for the sake of playing: It's a simple idea but not so easy to execute. Nevertheless, this guideline helped us create a personal sound for the duo and a shared language to build the fictitious soundscapes that compose the entire work.

ONOMATOPEYAS is the first collaboration we have done together.
The work focuses on pieces of free improvisation and sound experimentation with prepared instruments and selected objects. There is no cool concept or creative process behind this work, sorry… we just went to a studio and started to play.
