David Virelles - Antenna (2016) [Hi-Res]

"Virelles looks set to make big differences in contemporary music for years to come."
- The Guardian

Cuban-born, Brooklyn-based jazz pianist David Virelles combines Afro-Cuban rhythms with electronic sounds on this six song EP he describes as otherworldly.

"This album is unlike any that I’ve made before: the music would have been impossible to create in the usual way, with this level of sonic experimentation. I wanted the music to have the sound and feel of traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms, but generated and deconstructed electronically, so that I could make new, very different music out of those elements. I spent a lot of time trying to make my electronic percussion sound as natural as possible ... we added ambient noise in the background of the opening and closing percussion pieces I programmed, to make them sound like field recordings, a sonic atmosphere I like. I’m proud of the otherworldly aspect of those tracks."
