Mario Verandi’s music goes beyond music. It’s electronic. It’s also theater, dance, sound art, film, radio. In fact, Verandi has such a strong sense of dramatic personality, and his music is so evocative, that you’ll find yourself in a musical theater. You’ll hear percussion instruments from Brazil. You’ll hear the sounds of Barcelona, with its street bustle, guitars, and rhythms, in your living room. He evokes a kind of flamenco that you’ll rarely hear, with suggestions of guitars, the dancing and tapping of many shoes, the chanting and singing … and uses it to set his musical stage for Lorca’s ‘Blood Wedding’. And there’s a playful side to his music as he plays with the sounds of paper and cloth, glass, leaves, plastic bottles. All the world’s his stage.” Electronic Music Foundation, New York, 2001.
