Donoso, Ricardo

Symmetry

THE FIRST THREE RICARDO DONOSO ALBUMS NOW AVAILABLE AS A VERY LIMITED BOXSET. Ricardo Donoso has composed a new paradigm of ambient music, in which concrete textures and digital synthesis expand on an abstract world in constant movement & mutation. Under a chain of progressive rhythms, cinematic textures and elegant melodicism, Donosos work pushes through with piercing strength, manipulating a sonic wave through space with nothing but pulse and mind blowing intensity. Although Donosos work has coalesced into a much broader and dynamic beast, his early work continues to be a source of inspiration. Symmetry now compiles Donosos first three albums, lovingly referred to as the "Digitalis Trilogy" which includes Progress Chance, Assimilating the Shadow and As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another in a deluxe 4xLP BOXSET & 3xCD edition. A truly entrancing journey of polyrhythmic counterpoint, the Symmetry collection takes in influence from minimalist composers such as Reich & Riley, early techno and trance, and lush and deeply harmonic ambient music. Its possible to look at the Symmetry trilogy as a blueprint to Donosos later work in both its musical scope & thematic grandeur. Amidst all of its wide eyed, dreamlike states there is always a rumbling of subtle violence piercing just underneath the surface creating a truly immersive experience.
