| kiko c. esseiva – sous les etoiles (cd hint 04)
cd comes in great looking chipboard sleeve
kiko c. esseiva is a young composer with swiss and spanish roots who lives in lausanne, switzerland. he creates electroacoustic sound pieces that are, not unlike those of the french master of the genre, luc ferrari, warm, non-academic and colourful, spreading a humanity and richness that is far away from the sterility of a lot of todays electronic compositions. he creates very diversified atmospheres which combine acoustic instruments, noise, human voices, field recordings and static sheets of sound with a stunning freshness and musicality that also brings to mind the very narrative nature of some older nurse with wound works.
according to the title of his first album ‘musiques pour haut-parleurs’ (music for loudspeakers) his live shows are adventurous installations of speakers in different sizes and qualities, that are all separately controlled by esseiva at the mixing desk, making his compositions even more transparent, vital and expanded.
hinterzimmer records releases - four years after his debut longplayer on canadian imprint ‘manufracture’ - his second album ‘sous les étoiles’, which goes a step further than ‘musiques pour haut-parleurs’, the tracks being audibly held together by leitmotifs, making it one big opus instead of being just a collection of tracks. |
