Kiko C. Esseiva creates  electroacoustic sound pieces that are, not unlike those of the French master of the genre Luc Ferrari, warm, non-academic and colourful, spreading a humanity and richness that is far away from the sterility of a lot of today’s electronic compositions. He creates very diversified atmospheres which combine acoustic instruments, noise, human voices, field recordings and static sheets of sound with a stunning freshness and musicality that also brings to mind the very narrative nature of some older Nurse With Wound works.

Hinterzimmer Records releases - four years after his debut longplayer on Canadian imprint Manufracture - his second album Sous Les Etoiles, which goes a step further than Musiques pour haut-parleurs from 2004 : the tracks are audibly held together by leitmotifs, making it one big opus instead of being just a collection of tracks.
