In her new sonic fiction, Rosa Arruti aka Nad Spiro reveals an unusual dimension of her work, using just one guitar and four pedals on her sonic explorations through the lost quarries of Montjuïc, the legendary mountain of Barcelona. SPIRO ACTIVATES SUBTERRANEAN ECHOES, SPECTRAL LOOPS AND SECRET VIBRATIONS ON AN INITIATION TRIP THROUGH INVISIBLE LABYRINTHS.

Enigmatically as ever, she invites us to go deep into the sound magma while dedicating each composition to one of the lost pedreres (quarries) of evocative name, hidden nowadays under a different urbanscape.

"These resonating washes of processed guitar are extremely evocative of a landscape created by industry and subsequently claimed by folklore. Even if the supernatural qualities of Montjuïc’s quarries remain uncertain, Pedreres leaves no doubt about their sheer eeriness". THE WIRE 438 - Spenser Tomson

"Pedreres is meditative and uneasy listening, but it’s also densely layered and pleasingly slow to unfold its patterns and structures, rewarding and often unexpectedly beautiful". SPECTRUM CULTURE - Scott Wilson

"We are left wandering inside the realms of sonorities that would perfectly fit in a lysergically active installation, minus the pills. A conscious observation of the intrinsic possibilities of unusually splintered timbres eventually leads to the osmotic absorption of their very transfiguration". TOUCHING EXTREMES - Massimo Ricci

“Construcciones sonoras tan misteriosas como puedan serlo los espacios que evocan y las historias que esos espacios esconden...”. LA VANGUARDIA - Ignasi Moya,

"A Quarantine classic".

ESOTRONIC MUZAK
“A walk to the threshold of the underground:magma, liquid in solid state or solid in SONIC state.
Esotronic muzak.Or exo-exotica. That’s what Nad Spiro sounds like, here and now. Some of the sounds she unleashes represent an audio invocation in ritual mode with (why not) Lynchian resonances, a Mondo Tulpa of suggestive and disturbing atmospheres: coups de guitar, wave vibrations, notes as psy triggers, activating again the soul of the mineral, exciting the rock, provoking again its infinite growth. Do re mi fa sol BLAST!!
Strategic sounds for a strategic territory celebrated by Pedreres, a deriva across The Haunted Rock.” MK-IBÁÑEZ

about

Nad Spiro

Sonic agent Nad Spiro explores unfrequented AudioZones in the outer peripheries of electronica and stretches the sound reach of her guitar with a perverted use of this instrument.

Under this anonymous alias, Rosa Arruti's spectral presence in
experimental music has adopted finally the form of a solo project as sole habitant of a
world of complex electronic textures and sound fictions.
