Amor Muere - a time to love, a time to die (Scrawl)

' A time to love, a time to die' is the debut album from Mexico City-based experimental collective Amor Muere, consisting of Mabe Fratti, Gibrana Cervantes, Concepción Huerta and Camille Mandoki. Amor Muere represents a unique collaboration between four established artists, each with their own distinguished artistic endeavours. 

Mabe Fratti, a skilled avant-garde cellist, masterfully weaves together contemporary art pop and avant-garde influences, seamlessly blending improvisation, organisation, and melody in her music. 

Camille Mandoki's compositions defy categorization, ranging from stumbling, decaying fairground music to menacing percussive flurries. Her vocals transcend conventional boundaries, bending and shaping sound into hauntingly beautiful and unconventional forms. 

Concepción Huerta expertly explores everyday sonic landscapes, blending field recordings, objects, and instruments using magnetic tape manipulation and synthesisers. Her artistry crafts immersive atmospheres, seamlessly merging ambient and noise elements while bridging analog and digital sound manipulation.

Gibrana Cervantes, a Mexican musician, stands out as a violinist, composer, and improviser, combining classical and metal influences into a truly unique and innovative musical style.

An experimental supergroup, Amor Muere combine their individual talents and core instruments—vocals, violin, cello, synths, and tape manipulation—to create a debut album that pushes the boundaries of sonic exploration.
