Bio
This profile is not longer in use. Please visit: www.santiagolatorre.com Always with my head full of sounds and my hands filled with machines, I started playing piano when I was 7. I soon switched to saxophone and tried to be like John Coltrane. But after several years I realized that jazz was also not going to give me what I was looking for. I got disappointed on notes so I jumped into a whole new thing: waves, wires, zeros and ones. I became an engineer. It was just a matter of time until I got disappointed on the digital world too. And here I am, back and forth, always rediscovering. In the meanwhile, I have recorded two albums, Órbita and Eclíptica, and have toured in the US, Mexico, Japan, China, Singapur… with my solo set based on a laptop, saxophone, voice, microphones and MIDI controllers. I have also combined music composition for contemporary dance, cinema and theater with sound engineering. In 2009 I went to Taiwan trying to find a new world or to rediscover mine. Two years later, that brave new world in the horizon has changed. I just moved to London. If you want to know anything else, you just have to ask. info@santiagolatorre.com

"Eclíptica is an excellent sound artifact whose meaning extends far beyond music. It is an extraordinary, bottomless and limitless mirror where outer space serves as a metaphor for what gives form to our daily lives, our wrongs and rights, our fleeting victories and most battered feelings. It's an exquisite ambient album seasoned with a subtle influx of the pop spirit, a firmament of gentle and gravitational electronica, of oscillating sounds sliding in and out, of slow transformations… Expansively intimate, unlimited in discourse and emotional repercussions, Santiago Latorre has composed the formidable soundtrack to all the thoughts and feelings that, muted, await in a corner of our memory." Go Mag – Spain "… cozy like the sound of the rain behind the window during an afternoon in autumn. It is a warm and soft album, but never trivial. As a confession whispered into your ear, it can give you goose bumps … Organic, fragile and imperfect music." Rockdelux – Spain "… a homogeneous work where calm, meditation, warmth, and especially emotion prevail… A great album that is among all the things a state of mind." AvantFolk – Spain "Magical as a new world, subtle and delicate in every shade, melancholic and lively … a revelation" All about jazz – Italy "Inmense, huge album. Órbita is one of the best works of the Spanish musical scene in recent years" Sismógrafo – Radio3 – Spain "Silence is the new loud" … Latorre opens the free musical scene to a wider audience" Ragazzi Music – Germany
