About Me

Órbita trata de girar y avanzar, de hacer siempre el mismo camino y siempre cambiarlo, de envejecer, de morir poco a poco. Como un planeta que rodea el Sol, cada tema vuelve al mismo lugar varias veces. Pero en cada vuelta algo ha pasado, un año quedó atrás.

Órbita is about turning and evolving, always the same journey but constantly changing, getting older, slowly dying. As a planet that goes around the sun, each track comes back to the same place a number of times. But everytime, something has happened, a year has passed.

Santiago Latorre is a musician and sound engineer who lives and works in Barcelona.
At the age of 11 he begins to play sax and a few years later, he starts Electronic Engineering. These two parallel interests took him to develop his “Sonification of the Human Genome”, the project that marks the beginning of Santiago’s fascination with musical experimentation and new sounds.
He has since composed music for dance, theatre, fashion and videoart projects. It’s worth mentioning the theatre play “Radio-Patera o la Síndrome d’Ulysses”, the video projects carried out with Ivonne Dippmann – “Fünf” (MID-E, San Sebastian 2004), “On the terrace” (Barcelona 2005) and “Sobrevive” (Berlin 2006) – and “PIEL”, a contemporary dance piece that is still under development.
In 2005 he starts working in his personal project through several performances in festivals and clubs around Barcelona (LEM07, Heliogabal, Miscelanea, Comuna de l’art, Sodabeat05…). He becomes the house engineer of Grabaciones Silvestres, one of the leading recording studios in Spain. There he records “Órbita”, his debut album, not yet released.

Sounds Like: "Santiago se desnuda en la soledad de su paraje, te presta la textura de su abrigo saxofón, y luego se marcha. Te deja en “Órbita”, donde las canciones se derraman lentamente hasta llenar tu vaso. Un disco de final abierto, siempre cíclico, envolvente y gaseoso.
Presenta nueve canciones que invitan a mirar hacia adentro, a quedarse en quietud por un instante, canciones que generan un lugar tras otro, que tienen la virtud de acariciarte, jugando divertidas con tu pelo.
Sentarse a escuchar su imaginario sonoro es como dejarse aconsejar por un amigo, como mirar al espejo del ascensor a las seis de la mañana. Sincero, real como una palmada sorda. Sin concesiones, revelador. " Pepe Lorente
