GESTALT MINIMAL; the love songs is the debut solo album by Greta Eacott. A suite of five brooding, sensual and relentless instrumental works to S h r e d, P l e a s u r e and P u l l at your heart.
Greta Eacott is a critically acclaimed composer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. She is primarily known for her boundary pushing experimental percussion works and her ‘sans-disciplinary’ approach to music composition; which incorporates spatial aesthetics, design theory and physical movements as integral elements in the musical compositions. This manifests in a unique and modern musical aesthetic which is both playful and refined, agitating and welcoming, sensual and synthetic.

REVIEWS:
‘Greta Eacott’s Gestalt Minimal is both formally and dramatically compelling in a single gesture: the ensemble starts out bunched and tied together with rope, vocalizing within the sliver of a single semitone, then expands outward both tonally and spatially until each singer becomes a node in a web’
