World premiere of From Colors To Lines

Check out the new album here: From Colors to lines XLR8R+ Download: Ricardo Romaneiro ‘From Colors To Lines’ (Feat. NoiSioN) Shifting soundscapes and evocative audio-visual work. Houghton Festival – Photo by Garry Jones / Khroma Collective We’re delighted to share the From Colors To Lines album, composed by Ricardo Romaneiro and featuring NoiSioN on live electronics. XLR8R first experienced the From Colors To Lines album in a live set on the intimate Pinters stage at Houghton Festival back in August, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting its release since. Standing opposite each other, Romaneiro and NoiSion delivered an hour of shapeshifting soundscapes full of immersive beauty, with a backdrop of linear, colored lines, morphing and strobing in synchronicity with the music’s harmonies and rhythms. The live piece gorgeously weaves together the 10 tracks from the album as a fluid one-hour set, and was one of the highlights of the incredible Houghton Festival.ii Composer and new media artist Ricardo Romaneiro was born and raised in Sao Paulo. Graduating from The Juilliard School in classical composition, Ricardo’s music synthesizes his major musical influences and passions: classical music and electronics. After meeting NoiSioN (real name Ravi Ivan Sharma), a Brooklyn based musician specializing in live production, hardware synthesizers, and sequencers, they both knew it was the makings of a beautiful collaboration, and From Colors To Lines was birthed. “From Colors To Lines” The 10 tracks from the album are now available to download exclusively by subscribers of XLR8R+ below. You can also listen to the album on our SoundCloud as one cohesive mix.

Electronic Groove 2022 Houghton Festival Mention

 

A very big THANK YOU to Electronic Groove and Jessical Perri for mentioning my performance with Ricardo Romaneiro's "From Colors to Lines" at this year's Houghton Festival curated by DJ Craig Richards as one the many, many highlights:

"Then, top off your comedown at the Pinters stage, where you might find epic producer Howie B playing live or an ambient opera by Ricardo Romaneiro & Noision. Ok, is your energy restored? Excellent timing to expend it once again because up next are Shanti Celeste, Jonny Rock, Voigtmann, and Sonya Moonear. This festival can beat you up and revive you all in a days work."
