Reviews:

Creative Contemporary Classical CD.
"Acantilado" by Xavier Losada is a creative CD of experimental Chamber and Avant Garde music. It features 8 themes, 4 mastered and 4 remastered. It is a highly cinematic album, but in a minimalist way. The arrangements are certainly "out there" and will challenge your ears. Lots of tonal piano lines and progressions mixed with eerie sounds and some ethnic instruments. The quality of sound is quite good and attention was paid to every detail. Highlights include "La Calma," which is the lead-off track and lets you know right away what you are in store for as it fades in with faint gong strikes, followed by a promise filled piano line that eventually moves into a dark place. "La Meurte de Emp'edolces" features many unique ethnic sounds (rainsticks, digerdoos, etc...) and has a curious Tuba arrangement. If you like experimental classical music, you'll enjoy this inventive CD.

Una obra sui generis con una madurez que promete un gran futuro.
acantilado evidencia que no siempre el intento creativo de un músico en proceso de formación se ve vinculado a los patrones de moda que influencian a jóvenes compositores e intérpretes como la solución que garantiza el éxito. Xavier Losada tiene la audacia y originalidad de proponer una obra sui generis con una madurez que promete un gran futuro en el arte de jugar con los sonidos. Su vínculo con la literatura y el teatro lo llevan por caminos diferentes al músico cuya intención es solamente divertir al oyente. La obras de Xavier Losada exigen que el oyente se inmiscuya en los textos, es decir, en el trasfondo literario que son el aliado e inspiración de este joven compositor. Me atrevo a pronosticar que su nombre se hará sentir en las corrientes musicales vinculadas a la auténtica expresión sin dar concesiones, con una personalidad propia y bien marcada. Felicito a Xavier por este nuevo intento.
