As is customary with Donoso, the moods on these electronic miniatures vary from piece to piece; some somber, brooding, and laden with mystery, others starry-eyed, tinged with sci-fi, and hungry for adventure. Connections are finally forged between Donoso’s early hardware synthesizer arpeggiation experiments, his darker and more abstract work with an emphasis on synthetic textures, pulsation, and sound design and the more recent extreme full throttle electronic mayhem and prog inspired technical opuses found in the Calibrate\/Re_Calibrate\/Content era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProgress Trap\u003c\/i\u003e is as harmonious as its predecessor allowing dissonance to subtly seep in, providing mere hints at the undercurrent of threat hidden beneath the music's smooth surface. If \u003ci\u003eProgress Chance\u003c\/i\u003e was naive and innocent, \u003ci\u003eProgress Trap\u003c\/i\u003e is mature and calculated. Perhaps some of the optimism has extinguished, but there is a stalking exhilaration which threads through the entire album, taking on merely different shades between sides – as with most of Donoso’s work something verging on a deep longing always lingers heavily as an aftertaste. There's a lot to digest on Progress Trap, as with Donoso’s entire canon, but as always, the effort is repaid. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denovali","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50501574525259,"sku":"1133153","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f607f6df-08b3-4b52-8e32-a41f28cbc091_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727785317"},{"product_id":"content","title":"Content","description":"\u003cp\u003eTerry Waite was taken hostage in Beirut in the late 1980s, before ISIS, before smartphones, before the Internet as we know it. He endured a mock execution during the first year of his five-year captivity, which was spent mostly in solitary confinement. Years later, during a Q\u0026amp;A session, he was asked to identify the main thing he had learned from his ordeal. The answer, came as a shock—it was not the excruciatingly hard-won appreciation for life and loved ones that one expects to hear. “Contemporary humanity,” declared Waite, “has lost the ability to engage in productive solitude.” \"Content\" is the 9th album of the US based producer Ricardo Donoso. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Denovali","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50521800573259,"sku":"1096705","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d0337f35-049c-4045-8645-83bcbe3c3c93_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727995281"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_9044a7ec_thumbnail_4096_c74e0b5b-e747-4fed-87f1-79d103c9a6b3.jpg?v=1727697964","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/ricardo-donoso.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
