AEdB is the first physical album by A Espiral de Bukowski. The first 11 tracks are a compilation of themes that appeared on previous releases (their digital albums and compilations by other labels), the last 6 tracks are new.
On AEdB there are themes from all phases of the project, from the folk beginnings up to the present experimental free improv.

Cesar and Mariana improvise freely on the sessions on AEDB, exploring the sounds of a Casiotone keyboard contaminated by guitar pedals (Big Muff, reverb, delay etc), the melodica and accordion being processed and sampled at the same time they are played, minimal beats (sometimes in distinct measures), analog synthesis, modulation with square, triangular and saw tooth waves, granular synthesis, use of ribbon keyboard for bass lines, feedback, low-frequency oscillation, white noise, emulation of phase-locked loop and a little box that makes noises by photocells. The loops are built in conjunction with filters and effects, often in cascade.

The album also features field recordings from different places (made with an iphone); the last tracks feature Laura Cetra Zanin, the one-year-old daughter of the duo.
