Her second album for pan y rosas features songs about weddings, karaoke, getting your head chopped off, the cyclops Polyphemus, bad housemates and lost property. The music was all improvised over two long sessions, and edited down before the vocals were recorded. Most of the sounds are made using a few 90s synths with some samples chucked in for good measure and vocoded/pitch shifted vocals.

pan y rosas release OUT OF BODY OUT OF WORK by Mira Martin-Gray

Mira Martin-Gray is an improviser and reluctant composer preoccupied by feedback, probing the intersections between noise & melody, drone & rhythm, indeterminacy & control. Reclaiming undesirable sounds, she wields the emotionally expressive power of abstract music to counter dominant cultures of (un)desirability. A multi-instrumentalist, injury and disability led her to find means of making music accessibly using mixing boards. She lives in Toronto.

OUT OF BODY OUT OF WORK: solos for mixing boards is a document of Mira’s work exploring the expressive and emotive possibilities of the mixing board. She recorded her solo performances at her home in June and July of 2019. This is her first album for pan y rosas discos.
