Mutant-Thoughts

Mutant-Thoughts, originally from Barranquilla in The Republic of Colombia, is an alternative electronica vehicle for Han Luis Cera to express his perceptions of life.

Mutant-Thoughts

The underlying tones register as a sombre note which creates an oppressive atmosphere at the core of the material, which is equally matched by the funereal procession speed of the music overlayed with an equally subdued vocal. Slightly experimental in nature, without heading away from recognizable sounds of directions of travel Mutant-Thoughts creates a powerful imagery and emotional drive within the listener.

The music weaves a path into the mind of the audience taking them on a journey of discovery, which despite its inherent sadness somehow feels comforting, allowing the head to wallow in thoughts of personal misfortune without becoming introspectively indulgent.

Whilst I have spent all of the review so far talking about the repressed mood of the music that isn’t to say you leave feeling in despair as there is a catharsis in the music itself, which is riven with an array of textures and contexts that become beacons of light. The overwhelming power and expressive nature of the material softens the anxieties and the very name Mutant-Thoughts is a play on the content.

Currently residing in Holland, Han is planning a move over to the UK in 2014 and it will be of some interest to see how his perceptions develop and change in a new location. In addition to the aural work, he is also a visual artist creating artwork of a similar concept to the music.
