Tongue Is An Eye, The (Sanchez / Moser)

Inscape

Tongue Is An Eye, The (Sanchez / Moser): Inscape (Creative Sources)

The second album from the duo of cellist Paula Sanchez and oud player Christian Moser, a "restless hodgepodges of tensile agitation, percussive clatter, and nocturnal claustrophobia, with both Moser and Sanchez contributing conventional instruments abused with extended techniques (oud and cello, respectively) as well as objects and found ephemera."

Artist Biographies

"Paula Sánchez is a foreigner who works with sounds and the body to the limit
on the
destruction
composition / decomposition
of a mutable sound space.

In the pure presence
of an incarnate sound

who invents his relationships
As she makes her way into nothingness."

-Paula Sanchez Website 10/27/2025

Christian Moser, Basel, Switzerland.

"I look at the oud as an object that can be attended to, attuned to, in different ways that bring out strange hidden properties, that reveal something about the wood and the curvature of that instrument.

I`d like to attend its inner structure, allowing myself to be take over by it, bringing in perception what was imperceptible..."
