about

Bordando el manto terrestre (Embroidering the Earth's Mantle) is a musical journey around the figure of Remedios Varo, a painter born in Spain in 1908, who lived in exile in Mexico until her death in 1963. This journey begins with an ocean-like motion; driven by the ruin of war and exile, and follows, in Mexico, with the construction of a new intimate space flooded with light and wonder. This is a path of fantasy inhabited by captive moons, weavers of the cosmos and human gardens, and one in which to recover lost harmony and place ourselves in the world again.

///////////////// PRESS REVIEWS /////////////////

"Chill-out album of the year. Meditate, read, relax… or just listen to the sultry whispers with your eyes closed. They tickle" - Angry Metal Guy (Dolphin Whisperer)
www.angrymetalguy.com/dolphin-whisperers-and-feroxs-top-tenish-of-2023/

"Deploying strings, piano, synthesizers, field recordings and of course Amaya Lopez-Carromero’s voice, the album moves back and forth from undulating and elegiac to anthemic and brilliant, evoking the dream-like visions of Varos and the surrealistic style in which she worked. The sonic palette is heavy on the duo’s native instruments, voice, organ, and piano for Lopez-Carromero, an array of synthesizers for trajedesaliva’s Mon Ninguen. Together they weave a layered space full of mystery and yearning. Bordando is a fascinating, dramatic interpretation of what music inspired by the life and work of an artist can sound like." - A Closer Listen (Jennifer Smart)

“Bordando el manto terrestre” is a transcendental collaboration that invites listeners to immerse themselves in a surreal sonic journey, painting landscapes of the mind that mirror the essence of Remedios Varo’s captivating art." - IDIOTEQ

"Themed around the life of Spanish painter Remedios Varo, Bordando’s dark folk, prog rock and choral music can be intimately prickly or grandly gestural" - The Quietus (Noel Gardner)

"De aquella inquietud nació este Bordando el manto terrestre, un exquisito resultado de un proyecto alrededor de la artista catalana Remedios Varo y de todo su mundo, ese mismo que abarcaba las disciplinas de las artes plásticas y, sobre todo, literarias que enmarcan este disco." - Muzikalia (Álvaro de Benito)
