Colleen Shares Mis Armas Se Habian Caido al Suelo
For whatever reason, I’ve been digging a lot of minimal electronic work lately, and perhaps that’s why I’m fascinated by the work of Colleen, a French composer who places their own limitations on their craft as a means of challenging both self and audience. Perhaps I’ve misinterpreted the title, but the openness of the tune seems to correspond to the nature of the title, roughly translated to “My weapons had fallen to the floor.” For me, tying those components together, both thematics and music seem to imply a sense of surrender, a sense of giving yourself to the world. Felt like that was the perfect way to subtly enter the fray on a Thursday. Look for Libres Antes del Final, releasing on March 20th via Thrill Jockey.
