LIPPER

 

LIPPER the album aims to find the magic in the chaos and hope in this upside down reality, to try and examine the roots of where we are from the micro to the macro.

The album opens with the indie pop YELLOW JUMPER before moving to more experimental territory with spoken word, melodic drum and bass and dark electro pop.

The theme of the title track LIPPER is having people living rent free in your head. It's a gradual process, its not immediately apparent, but gradually the way someone goes about their day and the decisions they make or the things they feel gets altered. Until, one day you become a mix of other peoples thoughts.

Then I splice idea this with the childhood memory where anything is possible and all is opportunity.  Adult life becomes a tension between these two states - between the need to value identity and sense of self - versus the time when it was a natural thing before you even knew what it was.

In the background of the lyric there is a suggested threat from forces that can't be controlled and how nature has been cut out from life - the daily noise drowns it out. 

The album is my way of navigating the battle between the left brain and the right brain, between the magic of nature and rapid expansion of technology - which is no longer an assistant but a rival.

Black and white photo montage for the album LIPPER by Tobias Zaldua. A wide beach with three camels standing at different distance on the left. Far away to the right of the frame a man and two dogs stand on on the shore sideways to the camera. Behind them a huge titan stands on the horizon where the sea meets the sky. The titan is Atlas carrying the galaxy on his shoulders - he walks towards the west. The sky is streaked with clouds.

The floor is in darkness and there is projected op-art light across the man and forming a circle of wavy black and white lines against the walls at the corner of the room.

"Tobias Zaldua operates in the overlap between definitions as a London-based musician and filmmaker whose work flows through electronic experimentation and acoustic intimacy, between structured songwriting and abstract sound design..."

The image is of the artwork to Lucky I was. It's balck and white. A man stands in casual clothes on a sandy beach close to the sea. He is facing to the right and is holding a black umbrella, it's a bright day but a storm cloud is moving in. Above his head is a huge rock magically hanging in mid-air.

Taking and fragmenting the elements of the track HUMANS BROKE MY HEART

 

Gathering them up and reassembling in ways that might seem like a logical process if you didn't know the original shape. Finding structures that make sense in the moment. Building on the ideas random connections suggest.

Geometric art of large white cube against blue sky. To the left the side of the cube is in grey shadow. The top left of the cube has what appears to be an opening or window section cut out with deceptive perspective inside. Through the gap we can see a sky of a subtly lighter shade of blue.
