Based in Bristol, LTO first made waves as part of mysterious electronic collective Old Apparatus. As a solo producer, LTO has since attracted attention with his praised debut LP ""The Number From Which All Things Come"" and subsequent ambient/modern classical-focussed ""Storybook" LP. With ""D?j? R?v?", he expands on that classical sensibility, creating a highly expressive and nuanced release for Denovali Records.Each of the tracks on this record express a certain abstracted sense of time and place, often of a long forgotten memory or dream, or of an imagined future; of places foreign, yet strangely familiar; of varying states of consciousness; of non-linear time systems; of repetitive childhood fever dreams; of places with different laws of physics removing the constraints of day-to-day reality that you never want to leave; of unimaginable landscapes.Broadening the already far-reaching colour palette of ""Storybook"", LTO has created something truly remarkable: complex piano arrangements, ethereal soundscapes, elegant orchestration and floating ambience, all perfectly placed in a rich cinematic landscape. LTO creates an ingenious dramaturgy, inducing different moods, from dark to light, with an inimitable depth and irresistible suction."haunting and comforting in equal measure. 4/5"" - MOJO"like memory preserved in nostalgic aspic" - The Independent"a beautiful collection that stands tall alongside the work of his contemporaries" - XLR8R"Blurring the lines between the organic and machine-made... Takes nebulous sounds and crashes them with the clatter of machine rhythms_ Brilliant." - Hyponik"An adventurous blend of hues grey and dark...Staggeringly rich." - FACT""Another great album by a real talent hugely deserving of even more attention. Remarkable. 9/10"" - God is in the TV
