Helado Negro's music radiates softness and sensuality. The American singer and composer, who sings in both English and Spanish, depending on the mood and emotion, is on a journey toward sonoric fulfillment. His ninth album, Phasor, is deeply inspired by contemplating nature and the fascination that comes from that. This is largely due to one element, a constant presence at its core: the Sal-Mar synthesizer, created in 1969 by composer Salvatore Martirano and a team of engineers from the University of Illinois. From this instrument, he extracts a remarkable warmth, and above all ideas, often transforming them into loops, which he repeats, and, to an extent, modulates, evolving them by adding, taking away, changing or cutting, always with a desire to create music that begs to be cozied up to with its velvety smoothness. Warm, exaggerated bass, ghostlike electronic clinking, fully-embodied melodies…It's a fantastic album, skilfully simple, and capable of describing traffic jams like forests and observing human nature as much as nature itself. © Brice Miclet/Qobuz
