mecánica clásica: mar interior

The Mecánica Clásica project combines modified elements of early electronics, krautrock, ambient, minimalism, and fourth world music, generating an interplanetary space where enterprising guitar tones, lush synth sequencing and off-kilter percussion coalesce. Mar Interior the new album by Mecánica Clásica is a fusion of kosmische and fourth world music inspired by ancient Mediterranean culture. Loosely translated as "Inland Sea", Mar Interior is thematically centered on the history and legacy of the ancient civilizations that proliferated around the Mediterranean Sea. Augmented by environmental recordings, Mecánica Clásica renew the extensive topographies opened up by early pioneers like Craig Leon, Jon Hassell, Brian Eno and Cluster, in an immense vision of Spanish space ambient. On Mar Interior their work expands upon these influences, moving into a shimmering, hypnotic sound world which finds common ground with the likes of O Yuki Conjugate, K. Leimer, Roberto Musci and X.Y.R. Mastered by Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound).
