Gil Sansón/Lance Austin Olsen Works On PaperElsewhere (CD/DL)The Elsewhere label marks its first year in business with a new release that is expansive and resolutely experimental. Works on Paper is a long distance collaboration between Venezuela-based Sansón and Canada-based Olsen. They then began making music that was in response to each other’s graphic scores, and thus began the creation of this album. A variety of sound sources were used in the construction of each piece. These include guitar, spoken word, filed recordings, electronics, amplified objects and re-appropriated samples of previous work from the artists. This piece is by Sansón, and is in response to a graphic score by Olsen called Pra Mim from 2016. Each of the four tracks here are long, clocking in at over twenty minutes.

Venezuelan composer-visual artist Gil Sansón and British, Vancouver-based composer-painter Lance Austin Olsen attempt to answer this kōan in four imaginative textures. Neither of Sansón and Olsen are ordinary musicians. Sansón and Olsen began to work together, long distance, in 2014 when Olsen painted the cover of Sansón's Immanence, A Life (Makam, 2015). Sansón plays on Olsen’s Pra Mim - Works on Paper and Pra Mim - Fail Better variations the acoustic guitar, melodica, violoncello, electronics, objects and field recordings, samples the voice of America sound artist A. Jones, as well as excerpts from two compositions of his own, performed by pianist Dante Boon, and excerpts from experimental Dutch composer Antoine Beuger's Monodies.

Venezuelan-based composer/artist Gil Sansón and Canadian-based composer/painter Lance Austin Olsen began to work closely together via long distance in 2014. Their collaboration initially began when Olsen painted the CD cover of Sansón's release 'Immanence, A Life' (Makam 003) in 2015. Sharing a similar aesthetic in art and music with deep respect and understanding of each other's work, the two soon started to make music in collaboration through realizations of each other's graphic scores or paintings. Sansón said, "At some level, I find no distinction between painting and sound making. The processes are similar in essence and they seem to come from the same place. In the case of Lance's paintings, I find a great example of this.
