Rociado el escenario con gasolina, solo es preciso que uno de los tres encienda el sonido para que todo salte por los aires. Ese momento fugaz, que apenas dura lo que tarda en emitirse una nota en el saxo, en poner a vibrar una cuerda del contrabajo, en golpear un parche de la batería, se extiende durante una hora de reloj. No se equivoquen, todo lo que parece discurrir durante ese tiempo está en realidad contenido en un solo instante. Es un big bang de energía musical que se expande pero que, en origen, es solo eso: una explosión, un resplandor fugaz, un átomo que contiene todas las posibilidades.
La onda expansiva está llena de matices expresivos, de evocaciones primitivas y horizontes posibles condensados en un presente absoluto en el que se recrean Albert Cirera, Olie Brice y Nicolas Field. Tres planetas sincronizados para asombro cósmico y felicidad de quienes amamos una música que, sin saber cómo, te succiona hacia el interior de su agujero de energía circular, timbres extremos, densas texturas y pulso endiablado. Acrylic Rib nos somete, exige de nosotros la misma entrega e intensidad que despliegan sobre el escenario. Solo así, rendidos al placer que nos produce aquello que nos cuesta racionalizar, se puede llegar a rozar la belleza pura con la punta del oído. Carlos Pérez Cruz

When the stage is soaked with gasoline, a simple spark of sound from one of them will be needed to blow everything up in the air. That fleeting moment, which barely lasts as long as it takes a note to emerge from the sax, a double bass string to start to vibrate, or to hit a drum head, will now carry on for an hour on the clock. Make no mistake, everything that seems to happen during that time, in fact, is contained in a very single instant. It is a big bang of musical energy expanding but, initially it is only that: an explosion, a fleeting shining, an atom that contains all the possibilities.
The expansive wave is full of expressive hues, primitive evocations, and possible horizons condensed in an absolute present, in which Albert Cirera, Olie Brice, and Nicolas Field enjoy themselves. Three synchronized planets for cosmic wonder and happiness to music lovers, and unexpectedly, we feel sucked towards the interior of its circular hole of energy: extreme timbres, dense textures, and frenetic pulse. Acrylic Rib subdues us and demands from us the very same dedication and intensity they display on the stage. And it’s only then, surrendered to that pleasure that’s hard to rationalize when the perfect beauty can be reached with just our hearing.
