Expose Record Release Show / Alvidrez**Alvidrez**
Alvidrez is a composer & writer from California, now based in Glasgow, making immaculate, dreamlike experimental pop formed from piano, organ, voice & reconstrued traditional church music. Exploring their evangelical upbringing, Alvidrez draws from their origins in the church, yet is predominantly inspired by the religious renunciation they expressed during their time at university. Shaped by this transformative event, the project is an outlet for music inspired by everyday revelations, and the solace Alvidrez has found in DIY / underground music, poetry, and live performance.
While cutting their teeth in rock bands in Los Angeles, Alvidrez noticed that the collective effervescence they experienced in church was available at music gigs, writing rooms, mosh pits, and on stage. Using cathedrals and hymnal arrangements as a source of inspiration, they aim to create sounds that embody the feeling of holiness outside of the confines of religion. Thematically, Alvidrez’s work grapples with losing faith and finding it again. These feelings are conjured with dark noise palettes, distorted organs and pianos, whispery melodies that are often in competition with one another, and nostalgic arrangements of traditional church music.
