Quilotoa is the collaboration of Bristol-based producers LTO and Keplr, who met in 2013 trekking the Ecuadorian crater lake of the same name. Having remained friends, Quilotoa is their first collaboration.
Through their writing process the producers reminisce about the challenges they experienced whilst climbing the volcano Cotopaxi, the strange effects of altitude on the mind and the elation of the pair reaching the summit. Packed with heavily textured samples and soaring synths, their music mimics the vast Andean landscape; and the energy and euphoria of two friends on an adventure in the unknown.
Following up their recent EP, Quilotoa return with the single “This Line Terminates Here”. A thoughtful piece which evokes the bittersweet nostalgia in leaving one part of life behind, and the hope of what the next part could bring. Frenetic melodies interlace ambient found sounds, mimicking a solitary traveller’s journey through an oblivious, static landscape, and the irrelevance of the individual experience in the face of passing time.
The track, released via Latimer Records, delicately weaves through expansive sonic textures. Soft rhythms underpin a dynamic mix of intertwining instrumentation, culminating in the duo’s effortlessly ethereal sound.
