Grace & Raffaella

ML and Vittoria Totale debut with deceptively minimalist spoken-word collages drifting between literature and reverie. True electroacoustic sound collage LP for the heads.

Grace & Raffaella work in the shadowed space where language dissolves into texture. Their self-titled arrives via Meakusma as a series of intimate, fragmented conversations - recitations and whispers layered beneath field recordings, sine waves, and carefully positioned silence. It's patient work; nothing rushes. The compositions unfold like half-remembered dreams, each element stripped to its essential form.

This is musique concrète thinking applied to the voice and its surroundings. Minimal gesture, maximum attention. For listeners attuned to the compositional rigour of early Alvin Lucier, the textural restraint of Eliane Radigue, or the spoken-word abstraction of Pauline Oliveros - here's a record that respects that lineage while charting its own course through sound and silence.
