Lorategi [LP] by Sugaar Pan
This is a collection of analog photos shot with a Nikon FG from 1982.
Each photo has a psychedelic/neofolk track attached to it.
Music is as raw and organic as the photographs.
Different film-rolls were used for the photos: Kodak Gold, Kodak Ultramax, Ilford Ilfocolor.
All instruments were recorded using Shure SM58 & SM57 mics through a SSL interface. Except keys on "Lore pentsakorra", that's a Steinberg Velvet VST played with a MIDI controller.
PDF booklet with photo album included in the download.
Music and photos were produced during 2024-2025.
REVIEWS:
"Lorategi offers a rarefied form of ambience, an earthy unhurried listen, a Basque paradise peppered in gentle psychedelic disorientation. Fleeting, but beautiful…"
