René Muñoz Córdova delves into the confines of acousmatic and spectralism to create a work that not only breaks but transcends the parameters of the avant-garde. Far from traditional constraints, Kénosis embraces spectralism in its most radical form, breaking down sound into its purest components: frequencies, timbres, and textures that vibrate like living entities. Field recordings—perhaps fragments of resonant metal, environmental whispers, or disfigured electronic pulses—dissolve into a canvas of drones and glitches that seem to emerge from the ether. These sound layers do not seek to comfort, but to confront, inviting the listener to inhabit a space where noise is poetry and silence, an act of rebellion. The work challenges the expectations of conventional sound art by rejecting any concession to accessibility. Instead of predictable structures, Muñoz Córdova constructs an auditory universe where sounds stretch, collapse, and reappear in unpredictable configurations, evoking the fluidity of time and the dissolution of the ego. His avant-garde approach manifests in extreme digital manipulation, where each pulse or sound spark seems to question the very definition of music. The echoes of spectralism, brought to a viscerally personal terrain, resonate in the way harmonics intertwine, creating an experience that is as physical as it is metaphysical.
Kénosis is not an album to consume, but to experience. It is a challenge to conventions, a break with the complacency of the experimental genre that often falls into clichés. With a meticulous production that fuses the organic and the synthetic, Muñoz Córdova invites the bold to immerse themselves with headphones in a sound cosmos where the rules do not exist and the act of listening becomes a revolutionary gesture. This work is a testament to absolute freedom: a portal to the unknown that redefines what sound art can be.
