Joe Frawley es un compositor y pianista experimental que trabaja en New London, Connecticut y que combina la música neo clásica con la experimentación electrónica. Tiene a su haber 11 discos autoeditados y los manufactura el mismo. En '13 Houses and The Mermaid' toca el piano, sonidos procesados y grabaciones de campo, Greg Conte la guitarra, electrónica y timbales, Melanie Skriabine, voz y Rachel Rambach en voz adicional. Frawley juega con un collage sonoro de voces, instrumentos de viento, glitches, cantos de pájaros y sonidos urbanos. En ‘One’ aparece una voz asustada de una niña, arrancando de algo o de alguien, mientras se asoman unas bellas notas de piano, mostrando un curioso contrapunto. ’13 Houses’ parece una clase de ballet con sonidos algo saturados. ‘Some Kind of Womb’ mantiene el carácter cinemático del álbum y en ‘The Mermaid’ se aprecia un enfoque más electrónico, con voces que se entrecruzan que sugieren la trama de una película… ‘I Have a Hard Time Talking About The House’ vuelve a la melodía del primer tema de bella melodía y atmósfera inquietante. www.joefrawleymusic.info Guillermo Escudero Abril 2012		Joe Frawley is an experimental composer and pianist who works in New London, Connecticut and combines neo-classical music and electronic experimentation.
