Freedom to Spend Shares Pep Llopis' Homenaje a K
Share
Homenaje a K is the next act of Freedom to Spend’s ongoing Pep Llopis reissue series, out everywhere now.
Crafted for a 1988 dance production by renowned avant-garde Valencian company Ananda Dansa, Homenaje a K cemented Llopis’ iconic status as a composer of vanguard performance scores. The record’s compositions take on the operatic, soundtracking a narrative that confronts the absurdity and incomprehensibility of everyday acts of violence.
The indelible voice of Spanish soprano Esperanza Abad shapes the album’s overall aura. Her performances stray and shapeshift, scatting out of static and adding further depth to spectral shadows. Together with Llopis’ vivid palette of twinkling synths and thunderous percussion, the score chronicles tragedy and spectacle while always keeping one hand extended towards redemption.
Homenaje a K is available now on all digital platforms for the very first time. We also have a limited inventory of original vinyl stock on the Freedom to Spend site and Bandcamp, waiting, after all these years, just for you.
