Caprichos de Apolo & Sordina present: Barcelona Piano Day | Marina Herlop

Intense, adventurous spirit and rhythmic elegance, the Catalan composer, pianist and producer Marina Herlop presents her fourth album "Nekkuja" (2023) at Caprichos de Apolo the 3rd of April. In her new work, she searches for her inner light through instrumental ornaments, electronic sounds and her sweet and warm voice.

Bringing order to the wild chaos to create something vibrant and lasting, Marina Herlop confects an imaginary garden where to travel and wonder thanks to the mixture of familiar sounds with the fantasy of bucolic recordings. A concert that is part of the Barcelona Piano Day celebration at Apolo along with the Sordina concert series.

Thanks to the piano and voice as the only tools for musical experimentation, she composed the first album, "Nanook" (2016). To the second LP, "Babasha" (2018), she added synthesizers and extra layer effects, electronic elements that have allowed her to incorporate rhythms and timbres that lead to more aesthetic and emotional compositions.

A creative process that consolidates with the awaited third work, "Pripyat" (2022), the first produced by computer. Inspired by the Carnatic music of South India, the album is a technical exaggeration that changes the direction of her compositions towards a hypnotic and extravagant sound.
