"Magical as a new world, subtle and delicate in every shade, melancholic and lively, Latorre can be considered a revelation." - All About Jazz Italy
"A mix of elegant jazz and gentle electrónica, Órbita is ostensibly inspired by the planets rotation and the unavoidable progress of time. […] A warm, optimistic hymn to experience." - Plan B Magazine - UK
“An album with a strong and diffuse presence at the same time, flavorful until nausea sometimes. Anything very ancient and all new, like an object found in an antique shop, that awakes other echoes when you bring it home.” - Improjazz - France
“Silence is the new loud. Kindness and atonality converge in a new and valuable way, and open the free musical scene to a wider audience.” - Ragazzi Music - Germany

Bio
Santiago Latorre lives and works in Barcelona.
At the age of 11 he began playing sax and a few years later, he started electronic engineering. These two parallel interests led to the development of his Sonification of the Human Genome, the project that marked the beginning of Santiago’s fascination with musical experimentation and new sounds.
In 2005 he started searching for cyclical structures, surrounding melodies and subtle textures. He used layers of sax, voice, accordion, piano and synthesised sounds to progressively construct and deconstruct the tracks. This work is now compiled in Órbita, his debut album (Accretions, November 08).
Santiago Latorre has performed in some of the most relevant festivals and spaces around Spain (SONAR, LEM, Círculo de Bellas Artes, Periferias, Fundacio Antoni Tapies...) and has toured in the USA, Mexico and China.
He has also composed music for dance, theatre, fashion and videoart projects, through which he has collaborated with artists and organizations like Ivonne Dippmann, Marc Parrot, Idoia Zabaleta, Sara Paniagua and Po Yen Chang.
He will be in Japan in support of Órbita during this Autumn.
