Stranger
Released may 5th, 2012.
STRANGER was born as the spiritual sequel of FALSO, and in some ways it could be considered as such. Both albums were recorded in the same style and spirit of sound research, mixing both new sonic elements with melody and rhythm, always respecting the noise spirit that characterizes my work. However, I consider know STRANGER as an exercise of production rather than a necessary release. This is mostly due to the abuse of sampling presented on the album, specially from classical composers giving it more like a "serious academic DJ set" appeal. STRANGER also contains another piece I wrote along with Sidd Anders called "The Worship" that isn't even experimental. It's a strange release, even for experimental standards.
