Cidron, Juan Manuel
Slg3
"Juan Manuel Cidron has always been immersed in music. As a child, he fell in love with a radio adorned with flashing lights - radio is now one of his professions. He was equally captivated by the music that enveloped him. With whatever little money he had as a child and during his youth, he would spend all his money on records and analog machines. Music is everything to him, and that's why we understand his compositions as a celebration of life. The vastness that his electronic keyboards offer us is akin to the immensity of the desert, snow, and wind. Albums like 'Tau' or 'Sonido Para Acciones' belong to the realm of Spanish electronic music and are cherished by enthusiasts of sonic poetry. This vinyl edition holds a special place as it marks a return to analog, a medium Cidron reveres and continues to embrace. In this way, it becomes a classic, a testament to his unwavering commitment to the quality that arises from the harmonious blend of natural and artificial rhythms. The result is always him: a tangible presence that brings us closer to dreams and the unadorned face of the world." (F. Labordeta Blanco) "The tracks S, L, and G evoke the personal perceptions that I could imagine for each of the three elements comprising our planet in all its forms, manifestations, and presences. The track '3' evokes my unique interpretation of how an imaginary being from another world might perceive Earth - its discovery, journey to it, exploration filled with admiration, bewilderment, hope, and respect. However, all of this is open to free interpretation and imagination for those who listen." (Juan Manuel Cidron, 2023) All tracks were written, produced, and mixed by J.M. Cidron between 2017-2019 at the Extrarradio Studio in Almeria.
