Following his latest solo album, “A Constellation of Anomaly,” Barcelona-based Vasco Trilla delivers a new dose of imaginative percussion music. The ten-track album “The Bell Slept Long in its Tower” is his seventh solo album and his second release on Thanatosis. Thematically, these pieces are based on the symbolic and historical use of bells in different regions and cultures around the world. Vibrations, batimentos, and resonances evoke deep atavic mysticism, creating music to disappear into—a sensorial space where percussion becomes an open source of unconventional approaches and techniques that fluctuate within abstract and droney landscapes. Vasco Trilla – of Portuguese origin, but born in Barcelona – is one of the most active, versatile, and creative drummers on the European experimental music scene. He has recorded more than 100 albums, ranging from free improvisation and jazz rock to progressive rock, metal, and ambient music. With seven solo albums to his name, he has established himself as a leading voice in innovative percussion music, constantly expanding his sound sources. In recent years, he has become one of the most in-demand drummers on the free improvised music scene, touring countries such as Brazil, China, Indonesia, Russia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, and Germany – with musicians such as Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Ra Kalam Bob Moses, Mars Williams, Patrick Shiroishi, Elliott Sharp, Steve Swell, Susana Santos Silva, and Jasper Stadhouders, among many others. He has released albums on labels such as Clean Feed Records, Cuneiform Records, NoBusiness, Not Two, Astral Spirits, Klopotec, FMR Records, Fundacja Słuchaj, Multikulti Project, Spontaneous Music Tribune, Raw Tonk, Creative Sources, Discordian Records, Gusstaff Records, Urpa i Musell, Tripticks Tapes, and Thanatosis Produktion. 1.
