reviews:

”..the sound of Daniel del Rio and Roberto Mallo expresses a very delicate abstractness. It is a mysterious crystal like the mineral rather than the organic..” Shin’Ichi Isohata

”..is a duet for turntable (Daniel Del Rio) and saxophone (Roberto Mallo), who play improvised music, and obviously in a reduced manner. The saxophone plays like a bunch of sine waves but never really loud and the turntable ‘scratches’ the surface. Metallic like, scratches and hiss. Yet all of this sounds remarkably like an improvised record in the best current tradition of the scene. Lots of careful placing of sounds, a bit of silence, small outbursts, traditional playing of the saxophone and throughout done with great care. Nice one. ” Frans de Waard (Vital Weekly)
