Project in residence
CICADA
CICADA is the duo formed by Jose A. Rilla, ex-member of Pablo Und Destruktion’s band, in charge of synthesizers and programming, and Sara Muñiz, violist, also ex-Pablo Und Destruktion, and with a long career as a collaborator in projects such as Viva Las Vegas, Manta Ray, Nacho Vegas or Captains among others. His eponymous debut album, mixed by Óscar Mulero, offers a dreamlike and thrilling journey in which electronic and acoustic instruments serve as a vehicle to travel a path full of crossroads, veils and changes of course. Hypnotic drones, sinuous viola loops and dense polyrhythms invite us to transit between different states of consciousness, in an itinerary that takes us from introspection and abstraction to the atavistic ecstasy of dance.
