ISORA: 'to see the roots from the top'.

"We use this metaphor in our music for the search of new sounds but always keeping in mind the seed, the essence, the intuition that keeps us connected to the roots.
Original compositions inspired by poetry and folklore serve as the starting point: the seed, the root. From there on, through improvisation, there's a search and live experimentation to create different sound atmospheres. The voice, oboe, trumpet, synthesizers and live electronic music are the tools used to build up soundscapes and trigger musical ideas."

At the moment, ISORA - consisting of Ainhoa Pérez Echepare (oboe/English horn, voice, guitar) and Álvaro Rey de Viñas (trumpet, synths, live electronics) - are working on the production of their first EP that brings together original compositions inspired by Castilian traditional songs and Lorca's poetry in order to create a musical narrative connected with their roots.

The Godown is excited to host this beautiful duo and we look forward to seeing you there!
