about

---
After more than 20 years of studio work, it can be said that this album is the result of long hours of introspection and solitude. The inquisitive, investigative and analytical listening of the earliest works of artists such as Robert John Brown & Sean Booth, Mike Paradinas or Jochem George Paap influenced me a lot during the execution of this EP. The deconstruction or deconstructive process was something I needed to explore and put into practice, giving as a result naked periplos or sound spaces, in which the protagonism belongs solely and exclusively to sounds or textures that for my part deserved a thorough review and analysis, making these periplos a challenge in themselves, giving way to resulting works where the rhythmic section was in the background or simply disappeared. In relation to the cover design, thanks to Julian Schnabel and Tòfol Cruz for the inspiration and the final artwork respectively.

"Eduardo de la Calle edita en APNEA bajo su alter ego QUANTUM COLLAPSE. Después de más de 20 años de trabajo en estudio, se puede decir que este álbum es el resultado de largas horas de introspección y soledad. (...) Una obra maestra más en el catálogo de este genio de la electrónica, editado en uno de los sellos más exquisitos del panorama nacional que este año ha tenido un resurgir impresionante."
*Julia Ortiz | beatburguer.com

"QUANTUM COLLAPSE returns to Apnea with ‘Frei Aber Einsam’, four tracks of tripped-out electronica. The Madrid-based artist (...) now returns to the influential Spanish imprint with this EP. Eduardo de la Calle, an artist with a career spanning over twenty years with genre-defying output on labels like Planet E, Hivern Discs, and International Deejay Gigolo, introduces the ‘Frei Aber Einsam’ EP with ‘Lobha’. Mind-melting percussion glitches and warps, carefully interwoven with growling low-end within gorgeous soundscapes, before ‘Maghada’ continues with futuristic sequences and crunchy synths, culminating in a racy breakbeat finish.
‘Kumaras 4’ kicks off the B-side with foreboding pads, IDM-like drums scratching and tearing through the atmosphere like signals from distant worlds, with slow-burner ‘Himsa’ closing out ‘Frei Aber Einsam’ with bit-crushed melodies and broken textures, alien machines singing in unison in this second, ground-breaking Apnea record from De La Calle."

Have been so looking forward to hearing this album and it does not disappoint! An absolutely masterful debut long player, perfect balance of art and the dance with not a single note, beat or sound out of place. Love it to bits! I also HIGHLY recommend checking out his previous singles too, especially 'Whities012' for the track 'Volumes' - hands down one of the best songs I've heard in the last decade. Tip!!!
