“A Certain Darkness Is Needed to See the Stars" (38:51 min.) is an energetic, minimal, polyrhythmic composition. It was played on a single prepared drum set (with aluminium foil), without any loops or overdubs. Time and form dissolve as loops and repetitions take hold. The piece expands and contracts. It changes texture while still maintaining a steady pulsating fluidity. The listener is forced to cede control and relax into it. You never know how long any given theme will stay the same, nor what will follow.
Ramón Oliveras is a Swiss musician, composer, producer and multi-media-artist currently living in Zurich. He is the artistic director and drummer of the internationally recognized indie groove jazz quintet Ikarus and part of the queer indie rock trio Dalai Puma. These projects and his solo album explore the non-dualistic state of life/death and reflect Ramón’s philosophy: “It’s not our revolution if we can’t dance!”
