· 3 pulledMost of Delia Beatriz's work since 2019's breakthrough System EP has been experimental, anthropological, and rooted in software.
Debit used machine learning to reproduce the sounds of ancient Mayan instruments, infusing ghostly ambient with dread and a sense of wonder.
She took on cumbia rebajada, a slowed-down subgenre of cumbia from Monterrey, and slowed it even more, using granular synthesis to create an album of equally unsettling drone.
