about

I Speak of Blood fue un ejercicio de composición a base de loops, explorando distintos temas y movimientos para crear una pieza sonora única e irrepetible. La improviación libre, la repetición y la experimentación son partes fundamentales del proceso creativo detrás de esta obra.

Para la remezcla y el relanzamiento de este álbum, la manipulación de las grabaciones originales permite crear una nueva versión de esta pieza, ahora divida en 6 partes diferentes, ofreciendo una experiencia de escucha distinta.

El título del álbum y de las 6 partes que lo componen están inspirados en un poema escrito por Xu Lizhi.

Fer de la Erre - Guitarra eléctrica, pedales de efectos, manipulación digital.

Lanzamiento original, enero 19, 2018

Remezclado durante diciembre 2022 y enero 2023

I Speak of Blood, by Xu Lizhi

I speak of blood, because I can’t help it
I’d love to talk about flowers in the breeze and the moon in the snow
I’d love to talk about imperial history, about poems in wine
But this reality only lets me speak of blood
blood from a rented room the size of a matchbox
narrow, cramped, with no sight of the sun all year
extruding working guys and girls
stray women in long-distance marriages
sichuan chaps selling mala tang
old ladies from henan manning stands
and me with eyes open all night to write a poem
after running about all day to make a living
I tell you about these people, about us
ants struggling through the swamp of life
drops of blood on the way to work
blood chased by cops or smashed by the machine
by casting off insomnia, disease, downsizes, suicide
each explosive word
in the pearl river delta, in the pit of the stomach of the country
eviscerated by an order slip slicing like a kaishaku blade
I tell you these things
even as I go mute, even as my tongue cracks
to tear open the silence of the age
to speak of blood, of the sky crumbling
I speak of blood, my mouth all crimson
