Alberto Lizarralde

“Timeless minimalistic approach to composition braced by repetition and playfulness. Alberto’s music reflects calm, focus and intimacy. Ethereal and atmospheric, his pieces operate within the digital as well as the analogue realm in equal measures. Highest possible recommendation for fans of Suso Saiz, Jon Hassel, Eno or Harold Budd”
