ESSEIVA, KIKO C. - DROLES D'OISEAUX (CD)

"Kiko C. Esseiva is a composer with Swiss and Spanish roots who lives in Lausanne, Switzerland. He creates electroacoustic sound pieces that are, not unlike those of the French master of the genre Luc Ferrari, warm, non-academic and colourful, spreading a humanity and richness that is far away from the sterility of a lot of today's electronic compositions. He creates very diversified atmospheres which combine acoustic instruments, noise, human voices, field recordings and static sheets of sound with a stunning freshness and musicality that also brings to mind the very narrative nature of some older Nurse With Wound works. Four years after "Sous Les Etoiles" - his second full length album -, Hinterzimmer Records comes up with another great work of this fine composer whose musique concrète is without any doubt a cinéma pour l'oreille par excellence."
