about

Caprichos is the debut release of Cecilia Lopez and Joe Moffett as a duo ensemble. The album is a collection of improvised pieces for synthesizer and amplified trumpet. Brusque, mercurial, and intense, Caprichos lurches from circuit-bent gurgles to horn blasts to waves of static, making for an unpredictable listening experience.

Cecilia and Joe have been working together since 2018 when Cecilia’s Machinic Fantasies premiered at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn, NY. In their duo, they continue to explore methods of distorting, deconstructing, and merging their instruments in unconventional ways.
