David Virelles - Antenna

10-inch vinyl record, six tracks

EP released exclusively on vinyl

The music of Cuban-born, Brooklyn-based pianist David Virelles conjures a hallucinatory world in which ancient Afro-Cuban rhythms and ritual reverberate in the here and now.

His latest ECM offering is Antenna, music attuned to a timeless rhythmic-cultural current even as it pulses with a vibrantly urban, modernist energy. Antenna a six-track, 22-minute 10-inch EP released exclusively on vinyl (and digitally) sees Virelles channel Afro-Cuban percussion into an electro-acoustic, almost psychedelic swirl, one that melds jazz improvisation and organic grooves with digital refraction, shadowy synthesizers, otherworldly field recordings and Cuban street poetry.

Antenna is an undulating, throbbing, dizzying dream of sound.
