Oikos The Great Upheaval

* Oikos is the experimental project formed in 2007 by Rafael Femiano and David San Martín. Initially conceived as a guitar improv experiment, the duo quickly evolves towards their cinematic signature sound, and publish their first record “Ecotono” (2011) on the american label Utech Records.

* In 2012, San Martín moves to Moscow and Rafael Femiano remains as a solo act. After the release of “Vigilia” (2013, Knockturne Records), Oikos presents his second LP “The Great Upheaval”, co-released between Envelope Collective and Knockturne Records.

* “The Great Upheaval” is an imaginary soundtrack for every moment in history ravaged by violence and superstition. A collection of pieces projecting landscapes dusted by seizures and turmoils. These layered compositions are packed of electricity and analogue walls, acoustic textures, drone strings and cinematic looped-movements. A sonic cathedral illuminated only by the fire that remains after battle and precedes the cult. A sonic miasma for each end of cycle.
