Brilliant sound experimentation

DAVID SANCHO

Meditaciones

ER-141

Mere
observation is transformative. The consciousness of the instant from the inner
calm allows to glimpse the true reality of things. Abandon yourself to what it
really is to leave behind siren songs and fleeting flashes of thought. David Sancho becomes present in every
breath, in every pulse and transits placidly from the inner beat to seven
original compositions in a perfect balance, with the harmony and creativity needed
to approach and unveil the mystery of what it is.

Graduated in piano and
pedagogy at Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid and graduated in Piano
Jazz. Awarded the Nuffic Scholarship at the Higher Conservatory of Rotterdam.
David Sancho has extensive experience in classical music and a prolific jazz
career, participating in numerous projects such as M O N O D R A M A with
Mauricio Gómez on saxophone, and Alberto Brenes on drums and SANCHEMA with
guitarist Chema Saiz. A career that has led him to be the winner of different
international competitions and consolidate over the years as a reference
musician, a leading artists collaborator and a regular figure in the main
stages and festivals around the world. Producer and composer for hip-hop band
The Breitners, he has participated in the neo soul project “Una
necesidad” by Miryam Latrece as an arranger and composer in addition to
having extensive experience in audiovisuals through different shows, television,
and theater.

 

Since first
solo “Piano solo” in 2019 and
“From home” in 2020 releases, pianist
from Madrid has shown an absolutely original and versatile vision, sustaining
his work on a melting pot of influences ranging from classical music and jazz
to pop, electro or hip-hop. Away from any superficial virtuosity, he shows his
interest in allowing the background to prevail over the form, providing his own
work with great depth and flexibility making always the message reach the inner
side of the listener.

“Meditations” reaches higher aesthetic
quota within author´s restless spirit and eclectic career. A work full of
different influences and intentions and for whose achievement, David Sancho has been joined by two
renowned musicians from the scene, Jesús
Caparrós on electric bass and Borja
Barrueta on drums. Going beyond contemporary jazz standards, the band sound
maintains a perfect balance between the traditional concept of jazz band and the use of synthesizers and other unusual elements
such as electronic drums or pedal steel, transiting passages close to jazz rock in “Mikado” or progressive rock in “Moi’s
Torpedo”. The heartbeat from “Meditations” or the multiple
corridors that unfold in the atmospheric
“Shackleton Base” show author´s creativity skills and his complicity
with the rest of the band. Close to Ambient
jazz “PG=PC” and “Ed song” reveal a new assortment of
possibilities while the beautiful “Psalmo” puts an end to the record
with David Sancho virtuoso manufacturing on piano returning to classical music origins.

David Sancho is present in every note, in every pulse of
creativity. Devoid of any intention other than reaching the center of the
listener, he presents his third record “Meditations“, an exercise of brilliant sound experimentation
that consolidates his author as an exceptional referent within the scene.
