Like a ghost-in-the-machine. It's performed with an empty circuit, basically a feedback loop using as main instruments two 8-second delays and a 4-band parametric equalizer. There's no input, the loop is constantly nourishing and digesting itself. The circulating sound is electronic resonance. Rafael Toral is a musician, producer and sound engineer. Born in Lisbon in 1967, he has been performing live since 1984. Considered by the Chicago Reader to be 'one of the most gifted and innovative guitarists of the decade', his work focuses mainly on the possibilities of ambient music (variable attention listening process), the electric guitar as a sound generator and improvisation with higher levels of risk (using instruments or systems that behave in unpredictable ways) in real time sonic exploration. 20'50"."
