O (album) by LAAKE
LAAKE, pianist and electro producer presents his first album. "O" for "Orchestraa", an electronic symphony where the piano and classical instruments collide in a romantic deluge. Halfway between techno, neo-classical and film music, LAAKE weaves piano melodies and powerful rhythms together. The epic melodies played by the orchestra - centrepiece of this first album - revolve around the machines. Between luminous lyrical flights and hammered techno-classical hymns, the composer explores new horizons, experimental music, pop… Guided at times by a deep voice which speak of light and shadow, we abandon ourselves to the melodic void that LAAKE traces under his fingers.
