Pianist and electronic music producer Thomas Valverde's debut album "Vortex" reveals the contours of a world where trance and introspection intertwine. Across the 11 tracks that make up this opus, he attempts to explore the infinitely large and the infinitely small. We journey between conquest and repose, between ambition and surrender. The result is an amalgamation of tracks with minimalist arrangements and anthems with powerful textures. Thomas Valverde develops a mineral and organic sound, sketching the outlines of a refined electro rave.
