Finding that sweet spot with smooth, mellow Latin rhythms in an experimental mix of folk, jazz and electronica, the American artist of Ecuadorian Roberto Carlos Lange’s eighth studio album one of gentle, melting joy. The idea of the album can from a trip to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to learn about the complex synthesizer machine “Sal-Mar” developed by American composer Salvatore Martirano, one designed to generate an infinite number of sound sequences. There’s a flavour of this throughout, but also very much a human warmth, man and machine combining with an endearing combination of tradition and innovation, with numbers such as Best For You And Me, LFO, I Just Want To Wake Up With You, Colores Del Mar, Wish You Could Be Here, Flores, and the futuristic Out There. An album that slowly grows on you in a lovely, low key style. There’s also an explainer video, Stories of Phasor, shown below. Out on 4AD.
