Vica Pacheco, Pak Yan Lau

Presenting the third thematic volume on the “Aquapelagos" series - a collection of split LPs where selected artists offer their own take into water surrounded cultures and communities. After the initial release of the Anthology compilation Aquapelago in 2022 and the split LP Atlantico by Lagoss and Banha da Cobra as well as the direct collaboration LP Índico by Mike Cooper and Pierre Bastien, comes the third volume in the series in the shape of no other than two inspiring artists, Vica Pacheco and Pak Yan Lau.

Two different sound journeys inspired by the majestic and peaceful Pacific Ocean, the vastest, largest and deepest ocean of our planet.

Vica Pacheco’s composition takes a calm meditation approach where water flutes and synths brush shoulders to create a ever expanding mind journey whereas Pak Yan Lau’s ambitions Neo classical piece, The Ocean in Us, talks about that grand overwhelming feeling, that vast space deep under, on the bottom of the Pacific.

Both compositions were recorded and created with the particular wet acoustics of the Tank in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in mind.
