4.0.5 hybrid set @ Serious NYE — TLW

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

Exploring the unknown inevitably brings surprises, and the magical sound universe we are traveling in only delivers good ones! As we survey The Continuum, we have been blessed with a new sonic territory to scout. The host welcoming us to this new musical biome is no other than David Ortolà aka d_o_ppelgaenger. 

It was a while ago when we discovered David’s d_o_ppelgaenger moniker. It was in a mystical hut in the forest, in the middle of nowhere, lost in Spain, surrounded by friends. His performance left a mark on us, so we couldn’t be more honored to welcome him to our Continuum adventures. 

The music of d_o_ppelgaenger is far from convention. Always in restless motion between introspective or atmospheric moments, and emotional melodic passages. No bread and butter ambient here: one second you are in a concrete avant-garde sounding scape, and the next a broken beat is gently stroking your hips. Moments of submerged deep techno, touches of noise. A push and pull, a back and forth, a conversation held from the furthest corners of sound. 

‘Restless’ fits David quite well. Composer, producer, performer and professor. As a solo artist, he has composed multiple electronic, ambient and techno works, modular scores as Grooves #1 (2017) and Déjà vu (2024), or unique musical events such as Efímeras for 20 Pianos (2011). He is also half of the revered act Pajaro Dune together with Estrato Aurora. They have performed at beloved events like Espacio Perpendicular, Parallel, and released on labels like Alpenglühen or Grabaciones Perpendiculares. They also recently launched their own label, Sediments, featuring the recording of that magic forest hut performance I told you about. Not to be missed. 

What about his gift to The Continuum? d_o_ppelgaenger brings a live recording of his performance for the 8th edition of the Volumens Festival. His spell took over the Jardí del Centre d’Arts Digitals Bombas Gens in València, on the 17th of October last year. Not by chance and always pushing the envelope, the live set is designed based on (8x2)+1=17 numerical proportions. Another flawless live execution of the sound we described above. Get ready for a mesmerizing experience by the maestro d_o_ppelgaenger. Thank you for opening the gates to your music land.
