artistreader great catch in the final minutes of a BCF. fantastic late night vibe with lively, gentle beats Favorite track: El Tiempo es una Ilusión.

Hadi Burpee Uhhh, hello, surprise album of the year (and a very welcome surprise). I only previously heard the last two releases from Okrra on ASIP, and would not have expected an album full of breakbeat and electro drums. He does stay true to his sound, the beats are a very welcome addition, and after hearing the preview track, instabuy, and greeted with the nice surprise of all tracks available for download. Don't sleep on this, just getting through the rest of the album now and it is fantastic.

Manuel I'm running out of words to describe the music released on this label (mostly because my English is bad), but it's because of albums like 'La Gran Corriente' that A Strangely Isolated Place it's so special.

Fantastic.
Diverse.
Nostalgic.

about

Colombian-born artist Juan Carlos Torres Alonso, aka OKRAA, presents his third sonic exploration on A Strangely Isolated Place titled, La Gran Corriente. This album marks a profound shift in Juan's creative journey, where themes of portals, the illusion of time, and the paradoxes of self-discovery converge into a powerful auditory experience.

Following a transformative visit to Bogotá in May 2023, Juan underwent an introspective journey that inspired a new direction in his music. This experience, which he describes as an encounter with "an infinite current behind or inside of everything," led to a complete reimagining of his work. Abandoning previous demos, Juan embraced a liberated creative process that was both challenging and exhilarating.

La Gran Corriente is characterized by its innovative production techniques, eschewing fixed grids and BPMs in favor of fluid, organic structures and combining influences from Juan’s other production alias, ‘Laudrup’. This approach not only opened up new creative possibilities but also led to numerous "happy accidents," resulting in a body of work that is as unpredictable as it is cohesive.

At the heart of the album lies a poem written by Juan during production, a text that echoes the themes woven throughout the music. Translated loosely to English, the poem reflects on the nature of reality and time, with lines like "the land of oblivion is not real" and "the great current reminisces; time is an illusion." These words serve as both a guide and a reflection of the album’s deeper meaning.

La Gran Corriente is a record that invites the listener to unlearn and to immerse themselves in a sonic current that is both infinite and transformative. It’s a testament to the power of creative reinvention and the relentless pursuit of deeper truths through music.

Featuring artwork by Peter Skwiot Smith, La Gran Corriente is available on gatefold colored vinyl 2LP, mastered by Taylor Deupree / 12k Mastering, with full release on 30th October 2024.
