"A SEPARATE REALITY"
Prudence / BSC Music
This album is influenced by the writing of Carlos Castaneda. His mystic words are the perfect envelope for the electronic music composed by Alquimia. Here, the Mexican-born singer, composer and synthesist, explores more accessible musical pathways. The female voice, synthesizers and the sound processing are yet the main traits (you can find them in her latest dark ambient works) but now she has created a new atmosphere which mixes ambient, experimental, ethnic and synthesizer music. Mark Jenkins and Lukax Santana contribute on a couple of tracks. Alquimia plays synthesizers, samplers and Mexican pre-Hispanic percussion. The album was presented on a life performance at Holland's Alfa Centaury Festival on March 1998.
