Double CD retrospective showcase of solo work from Spanish electronic music pioneer Suso Saiz.

Having been at the forefront of Spain�s experimental music scene since the late 1970s, multi-instrumentalist Suso Saiz formed the pivotal group Orquesta de las Nubes and studio project M�sica Espor�dica, releasing a string of albums on Madrid�s now cult label Grabaciones Accidentales, which was also home to groups such as Finis Africae, Mec�nica Popular, and Ishinohana. A prolific producer, he has recorded with Spain�s most singular popular musicians as well as with a number of luminary electronic and world music artists such as Steve Roach, Jorge Reyes, and Salif Keita.

�Odisea� draws material from Suso�s early solo works, including music from the rare cassette-only �Confidencias� as well as pieces from his more recent compositions, soundtrack works and previously unreleased tracks. An artist dedicated to experimentation, Suso�s sparse compositions manifest a solitary and stripped back approach to making music. Fascinated by the possibilities of new technology he experimented with guitar loops, synthesizers, and drum computers creating a unique form of musical hypnotism absorbed by avant-garde / minimalist and non-Western musical influences.

The most representative figure of Spain�s now cult experimental scene, Suso S�iz remains an exploratory musician in a musical universe that knows no boundaries. �Odisea� will be followed by a retrospective that will focus on Suso�s collaborative work with Orquesta de las Nubes and M�sica Espor�dica.
