In Surface Expression: plant album inside Three Stages Of Change Appreciation
Attempts to absorb all information within the bodymind by entering the physical palpable realm, in order to express a mutable crystallization. This is done by exploring the use of words, reiteration of concepts, collapse of ideas and body activation- through the potential of action.
Recorded, arranged and mixed between 2016 and 2018, these three albums co-exist inside a singular usb stick (designed and produced in collaboration with Mateo Palazzi and Sociedad 0), each one representing a position in time-space from an observer-driven point of view.
By composing the three albums with different musical and sound approaches, mans o explores three parallel time streams, giving birth to his most complex project as of yet. The release presents an expanded sound palette and constitutes a powerful claim to free expression as well as the exploration of sound in all its various manifestations.
The three stages are linked in position but have complete different lives and directions. Symbolizing this in the usb design, each album is linked to one of three elements of progress: the root, the seed and the plant. Each hinting at the nature of each album. observing boundaries from within acts as the root album, a visit on diverse mind gardens acts as the seed album and in surface expression acts as the plant album.
