Pep Llopis' La Comèdia De Les Equivocacions Arrives Today
Share
The next installment of Freedom to Spend’s ongoing Pep Llopis reissue series (re)emerges today with La Comèdia De Les Equivocacions.
La Comèdia De Les Equivocacions is most emblematic of Llopis’ idea of the composer as a collector of resonances, transforming them into “new forms of sound communication.” Written to score playwright / director Juli Leal’s 1987 stage adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, the music blends lyricism and exuberance, tenderness and mystery, familiarity and mystery — all refracted and relayed into a truly inimitable, ineffable work.
Synth pop, symphonic rock, and American minimalism resound and rebound throughout the score, accented by echoes of harpsichord, synthesizers, and the tried-and-true theatrical chorus. It’s a resonant fusion that’s entirely Llopis’ own, an expression unwavering in its singular fantasticality and flair.
La Comèdia De Les Equivocacions is available now on all digital platforms for the very first time. For the occasion, we have a (very) limited inventory of original vinyl available on the Freedom to Spend site for those seeking some extra Pep in their step.
