 ‘Gloomy bubbling electronic power ambient’, Boomkat

‘Superbe’, Silence and sound

“Francamente uno de los mejores discos que han pasado por este espacio en los últimos tiempos, maduro y bello”, Fuido Rosa-Radio 3

“Somatic Suspension” arises from a meditative process of introspection and inward listen. By opening my own intimacy, this work attempts to translate various somatic experiences into the sonic plane to access a more sensitive composition. The sonic matter is generated through the exploration of gestural repetition in a continuum biofeedback. A ritual of acceptance of the immanent ranging from the negligible to the immeasurable, from the quietude to the ecstasy. 

The piano used, an electroacoustic Yamaha CP-70, is a rare instrument with a piezo pick-up system, outputs, a built-in equalizer and a tremolo effect. It’s unique sound quality invoked the overall atmosphere of the album, sustained like a winter forest covered by scattered golden leaves. 

The digital processes accompany the piano dissolving its pure sound into a mesmerizing superposition of layers and glitches. 

Intimate melodies, minimal electronic beats and teared textures merge together echoing the memory of an uncertain future.”

Pianoïse, released by Keroxen 2018

Pianoïse is the space where piano and electronics merge. An exploration between the harmonic and the atonal, the rhythmic and the textural.

The result is a sonic dance moving around the piano timbre extremes, sometimes tender, sometimes violent. Beyond genre, the sound palette is wide and eclectic, with elements of contemporary music, dance electronic and noise.
