Another fourth album on Petcord: René Muñoz Córdova crossed this barrier with the release of his latest album Entity, a work that continues the transition to to dissonant drones and darker ambience first noticed in C, the predecessor. Utopies that do not fulfil, new age unification and empty promises by self proclaimed healers, shamans or prophets seems to be an underlying topic, at least what I can gather from the German voice samples embedded into some of the pieces, returning like a common thread. Just take the sarcasm of En Las Profundidades De La Utopía (In the depths of Utopia), where 30 seconds of nearly complete silence illustrate the nothingness of the enlighted. A black hole behind the facade of hugs and kisses and the certainty that entity equates to a dissolving individual, one that does not ask for explanations or no longer has a right to disagree.

As for the illustration, I based it on several abstract works I created some time ago. The blue white contrast occurred to me as a good match to the music’s main characteristics that do not really provide any sort of comfort and introduce some kind of tension. The golden ratio was applied on several occasions, though not as strict as on other instances, mainly for organising typography. The back is less of a title listing but an illustration of a concept. How two units (or entities) composed of three are balanced out by a middle section. Arrows as another way of demonstrating how these parts are tied together and develop some kind of dynamic.
