 Elena Perales Andreu
25.04.2026 Only Connect Festival, Oslo, Norway (Only Connect Festival review) by Robert Barry, in Seismograf, 03.05.2026 [...] a thread of unorthodox instrumental preparations ran through the festival line-up, from Snæbjörnsdóttir’s activated tam-tams to an ingenious work for a disembodied wind instrument, performed by the duo Araia on Saturday night. Jorge Gómez Elizondo’s Clarinet without Organs II – Pulpesque (2026) was played by Elena Perales Andreu using just the mouthpiece of the instrument appended to a system of bright orange and green plastic tubes suspended over the stage like an octopus mid-autopsy. Her breath was channeled from one tube to the other, not with keys but a series of valves and taps, making the performance look more like plumbing than music, but the sound – cascades of great deep, breathy whooshes and tender whistles – was mesmerising.

Acordeón: María Mogas Saxofón: Pablo Coello Guitarra eléctrica: Nuno Pinto Tomás Marco wrote for Scherzo: "In Drifting, composed last year, the Mexican Jorge Elizondo develops a language that moves away from the usual orthodox avant-garde and seek paths toward a new time through the creation of unstable sound continuums that offer a sense of shifting fluidity throughout the work, written with great precision. I believe it achieves all its sonic objectives, and that is always of the utmost interest."
