Many are the reasons to move to other spheres, media or formats but sometimes, there are a projects that by the nature of it, bring along a sense of coherence to what we do.  Even that the concept behind Ilir Lluka's work is not about that, a certain aspect of it, it is. This is maybe the use of a very short span of time to develop a piece of work such as "An Étude In Two Variations" that only last 10 minutes.  By its shortness, one thinks that a net-release is the best way to present this kind of work, and we are glad to find again reasons to keep supporting this kind of craft.

This album has been divided in three parts that are presented as a continuous reflection on soundscapes of our contemporary life recorded as fragments of common places in our western capitalist contemporary society. Leisure, sports, cultural manifestations, protests and daily life are entangled together to shape a tapestry of how Durán Vázquez perceives his immediate environment.
