Colombian-born, Juan Carlos Torres Alonso aka OKRAA debuts on A Strangely Isolated Place with a set of four extended, beguiling tracks that harness the power of a slowly developing, cathartic process of
experimentation, textures and noise. With Garage and Electro releases amongst labels such as Lobster Theremin and Shadow Puppet, Juan’s OKRAA alias has laid ambition to cover many unrestricted styles moving forward, and none could be as fluid in description as ‘1994’.
What began as an experiment in minimalism, 1994’s approach was dictated by the methods used within the
creation of its very first track, ‘Ola De Luz’. After developing 15 modules and patterns that were originally
meant to be performed live, Juan continued to use this bank of sounds as an expression of his many
emotions over the years. Each track on 1994 is inspired by different personal life events, but built upon and
evolved from this similar palette of sounds, patches and field recordings.
The result is a record that feels extremely focused, yet alive and growing with each listen, reflecting the many
years of changing emotions. The sounds of underwater field recordings cascade into waterfalls of noise, and
uniform waves of light, both stimulating and transformative, birth new levels of movement and energy as
each track progresses. It’s a combination of majestic force and respect for the detailed listening experience,
minimalism birthing maximalism, in many ways.
