ALQUIMIA
"Angaelic
Voices"
(2003)
Alquimia is a composer
and singer who has always stood out for the innovation and originality of her artistic
approaches. She already amazed the music world with "A Separate
Reality", where she explored the musical roots of Mexico, her homeland, with an
approach near to Space Sequencer Music and classical symphonism. In this occasion, she
offers us a journey through the cultural roots of the United Kingdom, her land of
adoption, from a side nearer to New Instrumental Music, and giving more protagonism to her
warm voice. The music in "Angaelic Voices", as the title suggests,
presents Gaelic influences, and has a certain angelical air, magic, as if it were from a
fairy tale. Alquimia sings here in several languages, including Gaelic, English,
Latin and Catalan, and besides, she records her vocals in different configurations so as
to create choruses and other often fascinating effects. In conclusion, this is an album
that will no doubt increase the reputation of this artist of an exquisite sensitivity.
