Fiorella 16/lush Worker
Split Lp
Fiorella16 is the one-person project by José María Málaga, which began in 2003 in Arequipa, Peru. His recordings, mainly lo-fi aesthetics, have been released throughout the world on different labels and netlabels specializing in noise, drone and shoegaze. In his live performances, Fiorella16 flirts with stridency, distortion and the improvisation of vaporous melodies; an ethereal and versatile game that has led him to perform on stages in Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil and Argentina. Lush Worker is the solo project of Mike Vest. Some of his other projects include Mienakunaru, Bong, 11 Paranoias, and Blown Out. Mastery at fuzz drone tones and eternity sustain. "Swirling, wild ecstatic sheets of feedbacking shkreeekrsh, not exactly crazy violent chaos, but not ambient hum-into-the-background either. It sounds as if Rallizes Denudes was an introspective solo project, or as if Mike has discovered a portal to another universe, hidden at the end of a live Jimi Hendrix track." ~Owen Coggins (Echoes & Dust).
