Search - Io :: Little Haiti Suite

Futuristic global music: Io's 'Little Haiti Suite' is a full-length document of four years of immersion in the sounds of Miami, digital and divine. David Font, the multi-instrumentalist and producer behind the Io project, has delved deeply into both modern sound technology and traditional Afro-Cuban liturgy. Synthesized, ancient classical music traditions and high-tech digital experiments form a natural musical vocabulary. It is not rhythm, melody, or harmony that gives shape to music, but sound, acoustic, synthetic or sampled. Sifting through these sounds, the listener finds layer upon layer of meaning, moving from ambient meditations to the less abstract 'Test Pattern' tracks. Featuring Gino Coca-Mir on shakuhachi, Denis Quesada, Vovo Macedo, and Micheal Sotolongo on bata, a remix by Otto Von Schirach the Mad Evil Scientist, and uniquely packaged in a clear jewel case with transparencies and artwork by Lebo.
