Por fin temos nas nosas mans as copias desta coprodución na que tivemos a sorte de participar xunto a Tax Free Records, TRjj Compiler, iRiAi Verlag e All Night Flight. Unha edición que chega cargada desa enerxía case doméstica que define o proxecto: música feita a man, entre amigos, sen guión previo e co pracer de deixarse levar polo inesperado.
GUU recolle once pezas nas que todo semella estar en movemento: percusións que respiran, ventos e cordas que se deforman, texturas electrónicas que se despregan e se replegan coma ecos doutros tempos. É unha música que se constrúe mentres sucede, sen ansiedade por concluír nada, coma se o tempo se dilatase arredor do son, con instrumentos que se falan, se dobran e se transforman ata crear un pequeno ecosistema sonoro propio.
No seu centro están Max Stocklosa, Seb, Sebastian von der Heide e Max Graef, que atopan aquí un punto de equilibrio entre a improvisación libre e un sentido do ritmo tan elástico coma preciso. A súa música semella medrar por si soa, como unha conversa que flúe sen esforzo, chea de pequenas interrupcións e coincidencias felices.
O disco mantén esa aura característica do universo TRjj: unha especie de laboratorio de formas abertas, cheo de ironía, ritmo fluído e unha sensibilidade analóxica que transforma o experimental en algo íntimo e táctil. Entre a deriva electrónica, o jazz difuso e a colaxe sonora, GUU é unha experiencia que se move entre o cósmico e o cotián, deixando que o son respire por si mesmo.
O resultado é unha especie de improvisación expandida, impregnada de humor secreto e calor analóxica, fiel ao espírito dos selos iRiAi, Tax Free e TRjj: facer música non para controlar o tempo, senón para deixarse levar por el. Un disco que continúa expandindo o mapa sonoro de Tax Free, TRjj e compañía, música que non pretende explicar nada, só crear un espazo onde perderse un intre.

At last, we have in our hands the copies of this co-production we were lucky to be part of, together with Tax Free Records, TRjj Compiler, iRiAi Verlag and All Night Flight. An edition charged with that almost domestic energy that defines the project: music made by hand, among friends, without a script, and guided by the joy of following the unexpected.
GUU brings together eleven pieces in which everything seems to be in motion: breathing percussion, winds and strings that bend and reshape, electronic textures that unfold and fold back like echoes from another time. It’s music that builds itself as it happens, free from any anxiety to conclude, as if time were stretching around the sound, with instruments that speak, bend and transform to create their own small sonic ecosystem.
At its core are Max Stocklosa, Seb, Sebastian von der Heide and Max Graef, finding a balance between free improvisation and a sense of rhythm that’s as elastic as it is precise. Their music seems to grow by itself, like a conversation that flows effortlessly, full of small interruptions and happy coincidences.
The album keeps the unmistakable aura of the TRjj universe, a kind of open-form laboratory filled with irony, fluid rhythm and an analog sensitivity that turns the experimental into something intimate and tactile. Between electronic drift, diffuse jazz and sonic collage, GUU unfolds as an experience that moves between the cosmic and the everyday, letting the sound breathe on its own.
The result is a kind of expanded improvisation, infused with subtle humor and analog warmth, faithful to the spirit of iRiAi, Tax Free and TRjj, making music not to control time, but to drift along with it.
A record that continues to expand the sonic map of Tax Free, TRjj & co., music that doesn’t seek to explain, only to create a space where you can lose yourself for a while.
