Luis Pestana
"Sangra"
From Rosa Pano
Luis Pestana composes mystic minimalist pieces infused with pointillist epic-MIDI-collage. Like Arvo Pärt meeting Lorenzo Senni. Arcane Portugal and Tokyo neon lights come together in a digital alchemy that achieves full-on emotional supernova. Working within the aura of experimental electronic music, but filling it with organic textures and humanlike surrealist feeling, the computer music composer proposes a new contextualisation of traditional folklore music and instruments, while exploring a deep human need for music that has nothing to do with fashion.
