Visiones en rojo

Experimental drone project by Raúl Dávila with electric guitar, visuals and a constantly shifting instrumental ensemble, inspired by the visions of Julian of Norwich and by twentieth-century monochrome art.

Raúl Dávila's proposal combines experimental drone with electric guitar, accompanied by visuals and an instrumental ensemble whose line-up changes throughout the project. The result is built around the relationship between sound and image.

Its name and concept take as their starting point Revelations of Divine Love, the book by Julian of Norwich, an English nun of the fourteenth century, and the studies of medievalist Victoria Cirlot. In this proposal, Julian's visions are interwoven with the monochromatic aesthetic expressions of twentieth-century art, with particular attention to the colour red.

In this way, the project sets up a dialogue between medieval mystical texts and the chromatic abstraction of contemporary painting, transposed into the realm of sound and visuals.
