The solo work of Io Casino with electric bass modified by electronic effects and other different objects starts in 1991, beside to her collaborations with several projects, producing until now a long list of concerts and official cd.***************************************************io casino aus Spanien wren so ein Beispiel. Ihr Sound hat wahnsinnig viele Facetten, er wechselt zwischen industriellen Chaos und bedchtigen Arrangement, zwischen Improvund Rockzitaten. Und der zwanzigmintigen Ambient-Druckwellen-Gletscher Conducting Hurricanes(u.a . mit Francisco Lopez und Kasper T. Toeplitz) ist sowieso der Hammer.Zipo - auf abwegen ..33 - frhjahr 03 . cologne . germany*****************************************************
**********An impressive, smashing journey through some surreal post-industrial
ruins that this composer and plastic artist evokes in her apocalyptic music.
Turbulent pieces, pouring rough metallic textures, where the dominating
electronics is not the one taking us to contemplate the world from the clouds, but rather
the one permitting us to see it from the ground. Wondrous indeed..
