Torso Corso join UOH

Torso Corso join the Unheard of Hope roster in advance of new album “Miniaturas”

“Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.” — Stravinsky
Miniaturas, the new album from the Mexico City-based experimentalists Torso Corso, is a kind of master class in engagement, offering the listener one rapid-fire opportunity after another to be thrilled, or startled, or moved deeply. Or all of those things at once.
It consists of 20 compositions — most of them just over a minute long, and none over two minutes — whose aggregate effect is that of a brisk but focused walk through a great contemporary gallery. In this sound art, the palette comprises free jazz, hardcore, the classical avant-garde, doom, noise, film music and other idioms, all masterfully layered, fused or juxtaposed for maximum impact.
