Parenthesis (2021)
“Parenthesis” es el resultado de dos años de trabajo que terminó de gestarse durante los meses de confinamiento, con Adrián exclusivamente centrado en la producción del disco en su estudio, rodeado de multitud de instrumentos, sintetizadores. con un piano de pared y un semicola c3 como protagonistas. Sigue empeñado en esa búsqueda de un estilo personal, algo que ya se veía en su primer disco ‘Drift’, y que ahora deja ver su amplia gama de colores que es este álbum. Se trata de un viaje en toda regla, un disco en el que refugiarse de la rapidez y ruido de alrededor. Por momentos no aciertas a saber si escuchas su respiración o la de los instrumentos que lo rodean, genera una complicidad simbiótica. Con un uso muy variado de timbres, sonidos muy particulares procedentes de una investigación muy libre, jugando mucho con la reverb y delays, consigue hacerte partícipe de su intimidad; Los temas 'No return' e ‘Ipso facto’ han sido compuestos junto a la violinista Laura Masotto.
(SLOW MOTION) — by Barbara Foulkes
After two years working on new ideas "Parenthesis" was completed and finished during the months of confinement, a time needed with Adrian exclusively focused on the production of the album in his studio, in Madrid, surrounded by a multitude of instruments, synthesizers. with a wall piano and a c3 semicola as protagonists. He is still committed to the search for a personal style, something that was already evident in his first album 'Drift', and now shows the wide range of colors that is this album. It is a journey in every sense of the word, an album in which to take refuge from the speed and noise around. At times you can't tell if you hear his breathing or that of the surrounding instruments, it generates a symbiotic complicity. With a very varied use of timbres, very particular sounds coming from a very free research, playing a lot with reverb and delays, he manages to make you part of his intimacy; The songs 'No return' and 'Ipso facto' have been composed together with the violinist Laura Masotto.
