The 94th release on empreintes DIGITALes, Époque de l’eau by Theodoros Lotis, is now available. “Although there are traces of known sounds, and although the metaphors revealed in works’ titles evoke the spaces of natural phenomena like water, wind, air and light, we do not remain anchored in our world. This music seeks to transport us to an imagined, highly expressive, other-worldliness” (Denis Smalley). ••• Also, you will get a free copy of the CD Ecolapsis when buying Époque de l’eau; the bonus item will automatically be added to your shopping cart!
