Debit’s new album, The Long Count, combines Mayan instruments with machine learning · News ⟋ RAThe LP arrives on February 18th by way of Manchester label Modern Love.Delia Beatriz, AKA Debit, has introduced her second album.
Fusing ambient and electro-acoustic textures into beatless compositions, The Long Count was sourced from the sounds of pre-hispanic Mexican instruments that date again to the Mayan civilization. Using machine learning and inspiration from musique concrète, Beatriz created compositions primarily based on whistles, ocarinas, flutes and different wind instruments from the archives of the Mayan Studies Institute on the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
Available digitally and on vinyl from February 18th by way of Modern Love, The Long Count is the most recent results of Beatriz’s explorations in Mexican historical past. Her 2019 EP, SYSTEM, was rooted in Mayan languages and tribal guarachero, a neighborhood style of dance music.
