Rarely does bifurcation sound so intertwined. El Origen is like looking at the Andes from two different angles at the exact same time. Rodrigo Gallardo and Nicola Cruz's visions exist on alternate, yet intrinsically connected, planes.
The Chilean Rodrigo Gallardo's four glowing compositions, which reflect deep Andean and South American roots and play with touches of saya, huayno and nueva cancion, open the EP. Halfway through, French-Ecuadorian electronic artist Nicola Cruz steps in and flips the script, reinterpreting and rendering Gallardo's work through a soft-focused funhouse mirror. Cruz builds on what Gallardo has created, using a chromatic production style that fans came to know on his vibrant 2015 album Prender el Alma.
