spanish composer kiko c. esseiva has a huge interest in electroacoustic work. having released "musiques pour haut-parleurs" [music for loudspeakers] four years back, he now returns with "sous les toiles", which translates as under the stars. though the album is a self-contained work, in many instances, it feels a tad disjointed. noises, bursts of sounds actually, come and go in spurts. perhaps that's the whole purpose of this exercise - to take listeners by surprise and throw as many curveballs as possible during the work's 42 minute duration. quiet, oblique but never too dense or overflowing with incidental throw-away ideas, the album miraculously holds its own. while it lulls the mind in certain respects with its lazy flowing sounds, there are too many instances, where it doesn't let go of the surprise-factor and the hits keep on coming from left field. rattling, dazzling, horrifically packed with stuff, kiko c. esseiva's work begs to be enjoyed on a good set of headphones. let yourself drown in this world and make it your very own.
