about

The Ronroco is a stringed instrument of the Andean regions and it is the baritone relative of the charango. Its sound box was traditionally made from the shell of an armadillo or tortoise but is now commonly made of wood. It typically has 10 strings in five courses of 2 strings each.

Rococo is an exceptionally ornamental and dramatic style of architecture, art and decoration. It combines asymmetry, undulating curves and elaborate ornamentation to create surprise and the illusion of motion and drama. It is often described as the final expression of the Baroque movement.

Inspired by the ronroco album of Gustavo Santaolalla, OdNu uses the ronroco as a source of sound and takes it to new territories by exploring sound deconstructions and decomposing it through effects chains that include a modular system, Zoia patches and a Blooper to create a lush palette of sounds that even though they have originated from the Ronroco it's at times hard to imagine its source. The album is also full of bubbling rococo ronroco arpeggios that exude melancholic melodies supported by the addition of synth sounds and field recordings. All of these elements takes the album outside of the world music realm and into an experimental micro sound and textural dreamscape full of subconscious memories from OdNu's Argentinian past.

Michel Mazza's compositions are a constant experiment and interplay of instruments, different techniques, electronics and his moods and feelings. He often works with repetitive tiny melodies creating a dialogue between them amid textures of grainy decomposed sounds often from his main instrument the guitar but also including synths, (usually triggered using the midi guitar), field recordings and other acoustic instruments, the result is melodic, cinematic and otherworldly.
