REVIEW: Theressia presents Zoma

Theressia is that kind of artist who does not sew without thread, who knows what she is doing at all times and leaves nothing to the whim of chance, even though sometimes her decisions may seem unusual or out of place. Now, made up of Big Beat and Breakbeat, Theressia presents modifications to Trip-Hop by injecting ancestral traditions in the form of pre-Hispanic winds, drums and prayers that represent airs of freshness for electronic music.

The aggressiveness and power of her first album, titled 'Zoma', arises from the social construction that the colossal City of Mexico is building. Its noises and intercultural essence carry a strong symbolic charge that, in each song, is expressed in a unique way, giving the album dynamism and diversity.

The entire album manages to provide introspection, an absorbing twilight and luminous energy, which closes a record that knows how to turn musical pulp into a refreshing ambrosia juice. The more the record is listened to, the more difficult it is to locate it in a specific geographic location.

The entire album manages to provide introspection, absorbing energy and twilight light, and that closes a record that knows how to turn musical pulp into a refreshing ambrosia juice. The more the record is listened to, the more difficult it is to locate it in a specific geographical location. His music seems to never solidify, to be a flow of sounds and impressions that never seem to stay fixed in place or memory, like a perfume or a quick vision of a body in motion, until it postulates as one of the True future values of tame and lustrous electronics.

The songs that are recorded on this album show the particular way of understanding Theressia's sound, located at the opposite end of what is commercial, what works, what works: what she does is, on the contrary, a kind of unstable magma of pulsations and glows, with melodic traces and blurred textures, pursuing a serene, spiritual, almost ascetic expression. All those languages and influences from which they drew dialogue on this record, creating new, different and highly evolved sound organisms.
