ARP - The Soft Wave
Já foi dito algumas vezes que o ano de 2010 foi tomado de assalto pelo mundo dos sintetizadores, para tal contribuiram nomes como Oneohtrix Point Ever, Rangers, Belbury Poly, Emeralds, Etienne Jaumet... cenário onde também surge Alexis Georgopoulos aka Arp, que edita o seu segundo trabalho "The Soft Wave" pela norueguesa Smalltown Supersound. Um elogio ao compêndio do krautrock e da electrónica ambiental contemporânea. Recomenda-se vivamente. [Para Ouvir/Samples]
Comments
The new album was recorded upon Georgopoulos’s relocation from San Francisco to New York, and is billed in a press release as combination of “an eye-catching prismatic pop art / New Age aesthetic with glowing exercises in coastal analog synth minimalism.”
It’s the follow up to ARP’s 2007 solo debut In Light, and follows hot on the heels of his contribution to Rvng’s Frkwys series, a specially commissioned collaboration with Henry Cow’s Anthony Moore. The album will be preceded by a 12″ single, ‘Pastoral Symphony’, remixed by Studio, Carl Craig, Etienne Jaumet and Mauve Deep (AKA visual artist Keegan McHargue.)
