Exocœtus volitans, the flying fish: Shifting between environments as a vital need. Diving into forgotten universes, searching for the common signs of our existence.
As a child, I had a vision of the XXI century being a promise of splendour: beautiful and comfortable cities filled with vehicles flying around, amazing buildings, space travel for holydays, harmony and peace for everyone; no poverty, no pain, no despair.
These naïve ideals marked my childhood dreams for the future; I was convinced they would come true. Inevitably some disenchantment made me introspective.
However, many years have gone by and technology has allowed me to pursue my aspirations on what music might become in that vision of the future. The result is this insightful work: questions and reflections on what it means to be human in the actual XXI century, far distant from the dreamed one. The aim is neither depressing nor dark, but contemplative, still not letting go of that bright future ideal that rooted in me in the past.
This kind of absurd nostalgia fuels the emotional essence of the project, as much as undergoing adolescence in the 1980s triggers its aesthetics.
About the music itself, it’s main building blocks are experimental ambient textures, forceful melodic bass lines, super structure and modal chords, and varied electronic treatments; all combined to form simple pop-songs.
