Next release in Galaverna by Joseph Sannicandro

It’s with great pleasure that we annunce the next release in Galaverna will be by Joseph Sannicandro. With his work he has investigated a hidden side of Mexico.  In his words: “As an American tourist, my relationship to Mexico is complicated, as much mediated by imagination as by reality. Rather than pretend to be objective or scientific, this work embraces these contractions. Untreated field-recordings are rarely left so for long, refracted and looped and processed, moving back and forth between a dream and reality until the two are indistinguishable. We listen not only to the rich street life, bustling metro trains, and vibrant public spaces, but also, and with great respect, towards the rich literature, music, culture, and history of the city and its peoples”.

Joseph Sannicandro is a writer and scholar currently based in Minneapolis, where he is pursuing a PhD in Cultural Studies. He is co-founder of acloserlisten.com, and runs the Lost Children net label. He also records under the moniker the new objective and under his own name.
