ricardo tobar: treillis

Ricardo Tobar releases his long-awaited debut album Treillis on established French label Desire (Ike Yard, Monoton, Live Skull, Keluar, Deathday, Egyptology). Inspired by mysticism and noise, Ricardo uses old drum machines, analog equipment and also samples he's been storing away for years to create dirty-sounding drums and modulated synth sounds, keeping far away from the more expected and polished sounds most artists are using. In a way, his music develops the punk side of electronic music. His other inspiration on Treillis is definitely esotericism, in the way that music can profoundly touch you and transport you to another dimension. Inspired by the deepness of electronic music, his music is very intuitive, the same way Nirvana, Sonic Youth, or My Bloody Valentine were with guitars. Ricardo Tobar was born in a city called Viña Del Mar in Chile nearly 30 years ago. After two acclaimed 12"s on Border Community, James Holden's label (the beautiful El Sunset in 2007 and Boy Love Girl in 2008) followed two EPs on Traum Schallplatten (With You in 2008 and Mi Pieza Esta Llena De Cosas in 2009). In 2012 he unleashed one EP on In Paradisum (French underground label run by Mondkopf), the more experimental and highly addictive Esoteric.
