Catalog Number: ER1297LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 8428846112978 In music, there are composers and there are creators. The difference is that the latter don't only produce new work but also have the ability to give a special, personal aura to everything they touch. Ibon Errazkin does this on every one of his solo albums. He did it as well with his groups, all of which are a fundamental part of Spanish pop history: AVENTURAS DE KIRLIAN, LE MANS and SINGLE.; he has also done this with his production work, with Carlos Berlanga ("Impermeable"), Ana D ("Satelite 99") and NOSOTRASH ("Popemas"). He is an inventor without limits, capable of getting the most out of the pitch and frequency of even the most solitary note, and of breaking down barriers with inexplicable cleverness and phrasing. That's why the publication of his new album is something to be celebrated, the certainty that we are once again going to enjoy something unique, with the personal seal that is simultaneously identifiable and surprising. "The title of this 10-song album comes from a book by the same name by Maria Zambrano. It's a small book that's somewhere between mystical and philosophical, that I read while I was making the album and that somehow seemed to be related to what I was doing. I recommend anyone who listens to the album to check it out. The album's instrumentation is simple: guitars, piano, bass, melodica, banjo and some synthesizers. There is no percussion at all - on that last album the sounds were acoustic, but in a lot of cases I sampled what I had played and manipulated it in on the keyboard. On "Claros Del Bosque" I didn't use this technique, and the recording process was more traditional or "natural". I like to think the first song would fit in well on a western, and the second is inspired by the starry skies of the Balearic islands.I hope you like the album." Ibon Errazkin, September 2024
