The Light by Rammsy
With a career linked permanently to the independent music scene, Rodrigo Rammsy, sound engineer, musician and producer, makes his debut for Discos Pegaos under the alias of Rammsy, introducing this 3 track EP that explores his most electronic side, one that is closer to the codes and protocols of the dance and club music that has been developed over the last decades.
The first steps of Rammsy comes from his performance on the chilean post-rock band Mota, who were active members of the instrumental rock scene over the first half of 00’s decade. Once Mota dissolved, Rammsy quickly starts a new electronic music project called Mitocondria (2005), in which experienced with rhythms and textures indebted to things like cut ‘n paste and 90’s IDM. This process finally overcome on a LP called Tomica, released on 2010 on chilean label Jacobino Discos. Besides his achievements on artistic and musical projects, Rodrigo also stands out with his participation as a live sound engineer of bands like Denver and on gigs on important local venues, sharing spots with some important international and national musicians.
His last musical appearance was as a member of the electronic tandem called VS, a band integrated by Manuela Baldovino and Alvaro Guerra (of the chilean band Guiso). VS. started a hiatus after Rammsy decision to travel to Barcelona due some studies activities, related to Sonology and new interactive music systems. During this residence on Spain, Rammsy finally gave shape to the tracks of “The light” EP. Here the compositions are built creating a fine arpeggio-vocoder dialogue, recalling both the pioneers of synthetic music and the contemporary efforts of space/cosmic disco scene. The lead track invokes both the cosmic crescendos of Giorgio Moroder and the robotic evocations of Kraftwerk. Meanwhile “Llobregat” is a clear example of Rammsy skills on track elaboration, shining through some sinuous synthetic spiral work; catchy melodies sounding like heaven and travelling through the rhythm of 120bpm heartbeats. At last, the glowing italo-house effort of “Mart”, makes the grand finale for the debut of Rammsy on Discos Pegaos; a debut with enough muscle and skills to await for some very exciting news on the future.
