Fernando A. de la Rosa - Sextant


Berlin may be universally known as the global ‘belly button’ of dancefloor oriented electronic music, but it was another German city that arguably gave birth to electronic music several decades earlier. That city, is Dusseldorf, the rise of the city's electronic boom period from the 70s onwards, from the birth of the analogically propelled musical instruments. It’s from that geographical and chronological era where De la Rosa seems to bloomed, taking as vehicles sounds and textures from the krautrock, the kosmiche music and some new agey harmonies in his structural composition.

Sextant is a score for a SciFi movie that does not exist (yet), actually, he is not alien at all to film score music since not long ago he composed the original soundtrack for the indie film ‘Carne Asada’ (soon to be available in Transvection Ltd. also)

The EP was constructed in extrospection spaces induced by the escape velocity driven in a 1: 1: 1 ratio by an analog synthesis generator, a frequency modulator and a sampler. This collection could fit perfectly as lullabies played through the speakers in an automatic-robotic nursery harboring the infants, survivors of planet Earth, whom sail the cosmos in a uncertain travel in an intergalactic cruiser...Beauty, Cleanliness, Emotionality and Retrofuturism are key tags in his tracks.
