| Panaviscope | Like the sun Swiss artist Panaviscope is releasing today his stunning debut full-length album "Like The Sun" in CD, LP and all Digital formats via How Bad Pretty Bad Records. Alex Duloz (aka Panaviscope) is a multi-instrumentalist who lives in Geneva, Switzerland. He started playing piano in his parents' house, where there was an old keyboard. Panaviscope composes his tracks, plays all the instruments and sings. Having studied at the California Institute of the Arts, Alex is also a visual artist who creates his own visuals and video clips. In many ways, Panaviscope's "Like the sun" represents the vigorous pop scene which is currently growing in Switzerland, a country where most people speak at least three languages and find themselves at the crossroads of various cultures and musical styles. While the sound of "Like the sun" is smooth, it also borrows elements from new school hip-hop as well as classic rock from the 70s. Panaviscope says about his tracks: "I wanted to achieve a sound which could make people both dance in a club and dream on their beds on a rainy day." Most of the album's lyrics meditate on our day and age and its obsession with reflection, narcissism, and self-definition. The topics are always tackled in a subtle, suggestive way, inviting the listener to question themselves instead of providing ready-made answers. write your comments about the article :: © 2020 Jazz News :: home page |
