FEATURED ALBUM: Residencia TRoneitor
by
Dúo TRoneitor
https://dotroneitor.bandcamp.com/album/residencia-troneitor
Released 4th April 2025
5 tracks, 46 minutes.
The experimental use of voice and frenetic oscillators characterises the growing body of work by this unique duo from Buenos Aires. grey clay has been playing them for about a year now and I still can’t quite manage to describe them adequately - which has to be a sincere compliment in this particular corner of the experimental niche. Clearly approaching this project with the skills and curiosity of trained musicians has ensured that no matter how wild or ‘out there’ it gets - there is a beauty and order to it which is enormously rewarding when you get into it and endlessly surprising.
Lucas Werenkraut built the TRoneitor from junk found on the streets of Buenos Aires. As such he created a wholly unique and versatile instrument which operates, and is played, in unconventional ways and hence gives incredible character to their sound.
Natalia Cappa, a music and singing teacher and graduate of the Manuel de Falla Conservatory, Buenos Aires has performed, as a soloist, works by Stockhausen, Berio, Cage, Ligeti and numerous Argentinian composers.
On another album’s sleeve notes they say, ‘The musical and sound work of Dúo TRoneitor is based on improvisation, the use of multiple vocal resources, texts, pre-existing songs, images, and on the intrinsic nature of the sound generated by the instrument.’ Good to know as you embark on this experience, but it won’t prepare you for what comes.
This album is the result of an open-call residency in 2022 led by the duo working with five different contemporary composers: Néstor Ciravolo, Ana González Gamboa, Cecilia Gros, Raúl Peña and Marcelo A. Rodriguez. Each piece is strongly built around different specific concepts or themes though as a whole album it remains impressively congruent. I have drawn heavily on a computer translation of the original Spanish of the sleeve notes in attempting to interpret the intent of each track, thus injecting my own retrofuturistic noise into matters, for which I may not be forgiven.
We start with a piece whose title translates to English broadly as, A Poem doesn't bring rice, but it gives dreams. The operatic calibre voice is interspersed with read and whispered texts from Byron and Nietzsche and explores the struggles of the Vietnamese people to achieve freedom. It is the juxtaposition of this topic and vocal performance with the TRoneitor’s extruded tonal contributions that creates the bizarrely strange yet somehow classical atmosphere. At one moment I am hearing Meredith Monk-like trills and shrieks and the next it feels like a section of the soundtrack to Spalding Gray’s Swimming to Cambodia. You do the maths.
Then comes Deja que ocurra (Let it happen) featuring the Troneitor, a radio and two voices, where ‘a sound dialogue is generated between the voices and the devices, seeking to reflect the symbiosis, tensions and balances present in a family relationship.’ Drawing on Ecclesiastes 3, the track appears at first to be obeying some more conventional musical rules but this impression quickly falls away as the players begin to exercise a supreme freedom of movement.
Sonata NUM is the longest track on the album at over 11 minutes and is itself composed of three sections in which voice and TRoneitor both alternate and combine. It is also possibly the most unnerving and emotional piece that apparently involves the soprano constructing ‘an artificial scalistic structure coming from the conjunction of the chord of scene II of the third act of Wozzeck, with the known Petrushka’. I can’t even begin to understand what that means but it sounds wonderful!
Troneitor Movimiento I explores ‘the coexistence of the past, present and future in music’ and brings together an improvised feel with a slightly more structured TRoneitor performance that ‘tends to machine the voice, or to sopranize TRoneitor’ I’ll go along with that.
The final track asks the question, ¿Dónde está el espacio para el eufemismo del amor? (Where is the space for the euphemism of love?) Again, a dialogue of voice and electronics, in a chain of ‘sound objects that vary in their micro and macro form’. Inspired by the poem "...and suddenly", by the poet Victoria Tobar, this is possibly, maybe, a more structurally recognisable piece in which electronic elements and voiced parts find an eerie balance to create an unexpectedly moving finale to the whole experience.
And having penned all this, I am no closer to being able to spell out for you what it is about Dúo TRoneitor or this specific album that so magically captivates. It just does.
Forgive me.
