Jorge Marredo - Quejío (2014)

Is not easy try to define the music of Jorge Marredo (aka Satisfacción Lab and Thelema Set) and maybe imposible with his last work called "Quejío" a new style of music itself. Jorge Marredo began to create soundscapes in the context of much or less orthodox radio art, but soon he began to search and expand the posibilities of his sound with noise and a heavy sense of psychedelic experimentation (a perfect example is his first EP "Ad Nutum"). The synthesizers don't come too late and for his next works he began to take them on the point of the classic sound of the electronic pioneers but with a new look (like on his works "Synthscape" and "Uéyiga") maybe some of the best new experimental synth records in the last years.

When Jorge Marredo began to be know as one of the new spanish prophets of synthesizers, he broke with this sound and bring us his new rocord "Quejío". To define "Quejío" is actually impossible, Marredo began with traditional flamenco field recordings and late he manipulated with different techniques. The result is a new kind of music, you can call it "Glith-Folk" or "Robot Lullaby" but you, like of all of us, are very far from a satisfactory definition.

You may ask, ok, but what is sound like? Well try to imagine an alien Pierre Henry, a robot clon of Conrad Schnitzler, a rebellion of all Morton Subotnik devices or the most mechanical side of 80's industrial and maybe you could be close to a satisfactory definition. With no doubt Jorge Marrero (on all his sides) it's the best that Spain bring to electronic music since Esplendor Geométrico and Francisco López.
