about

Treat with gravity the statements of the parrot and the hen,
Run with your hands in pockets, whistling, and listen to sharp wisdom
From your own spontaneous play, even from
The clip of your heels under night lamps and on in the dark,
While hieroglyph trees are marked thin and bare about the winter park.

—Joan Murray

“An alternate reality unfolds on Lalén Rios Luna’s latest, A Brain Wholly Outside. I’m intrigued by the disparate sound sources and interesting combinations, feeling like a familiar presence haunts an unfamiliar place. Sputtering electronics drip from hidden caverns housing secret villages, spaces where the cold resonance burns across the sky. Drones are broken up by scattered, oscillating ashes whirring into cryptic figures, writing unspeakable messages in the dirt. The quiet looms in the distance if we can just decode the meaning in the hollows.”
—Foxy Digitalis. The Capsule Garden Vol 1.37: October 28, 2022

“The vibe is crepuscular mischief and twilight sonar. This is a delicious sprawl of unidentified sounds and textures, entirely hospitable and sparkly in its very hands-over-eyes way. Musique not so concrète?”
—Sasha Frere-Jones

Ultimately, the fundamental work behind these recordings is to precariously ground unground existence in the doing. Peace. ... more
