about

LTO and KEPLR return as Quilotoa with the first of 4 releases planned for early 2023, ‘Osedax’ - a hypnotic, deep house exploration of the ocean deep.

Both have a keen interest in nature, LTO through his love of exploring the great wildernesses of the world, and KEPLR in his other life, working in conservation and climate change. In this song, the pair make that connection using washy textures, eerie aquatic drones that arrive cooly from the depths, and placing the listener in the centre of this adventure with a hypnotic, repetitive beat of a Roland CR78 drum machine. The song resolves with comforting melodic organs, that bring the listener to the surface, satisfied with their brief moment exploring the depths of an alien world at home.

“When we met, as well as realising that we have a lot in common musically, we were also really lucky to be in one of the most ecologically and environmentally diverse places on earth (Ecuador). We realised early on that we’re also both interested in nature and environment; and we were fortunate to be able to see and experience these places first hand. It was fun to explore that and create a song that connects with the ocean in particular. It’s a place we’re fundamentally attached to and yet it is mysterious and secretive. We feel this song exposes some of those secrets if only for a brief look to see what might be going on down there!”
