Lea Bertucci - The Oracle (Cibachrome Editions, 2025)
The title track sits almost midway through the album. By this point, you’ve already fully descended into Lea Bertucci’s exceptionally ingenious and admirable sonic palette—multi-layered field recordings that draw the listener deeper into imagination. Voices manipulated via reel-to-reel tape machines, gradually stripping words of their meaning. Words become sounds. This enhances the album’s mystical character. Nowhere do you doubt your voluntary surrender to the music. Sinking deep, into a wonderland.
