Recorded at Splendor, in Amsterdam, The Netherland, in May, 2019, by Luke Deane.
"Invoking imagery of a narrow, perhaps perilous passage, or its dual meaning, the back of the throat, musicians Amanda Irarrazabal and Miriam Ben Boer Salmon named their collaborative 10-track album, Fauces.
In this recording, the duo plays with both concepts in a process of improvisation, creating lush and unsteady landscapes, layered with texture, ragged hazy wood against strings. The soundscapes are sometimes imperceptible, shadowy horizons emerging from dim light, and rising, something threatening, sonic tensions cutting through the haze.
Chilean double bassist Amanda Irarrazabal and Mexican-Dutch violinist Miriam den Boer Salmon recorded this project on a rainy day in Amsterdam, after meeting through Mexico City's rich improvised music scene. Their shared love for the vast world of sounds, for adventure and traveling allowed them a creative partnership. Fauces is a debut on the label for both Amanda Irarrazabal and Miriam Den Boer Salmen."-577 Records
