Arp - In Light

Arp is the most recent project of Alexis Georgopoulos, a San Francisco-based artist, writer and musician brought up in France, Greece and the United States. As a founding member of rhythmic experimentalists Tussle (Troubleman/Smalltown Supersound) and improvising collective The Alps (Digitalis/Root Strata), Alexis has toured the world and released critically acclaimed work. One may detect traces - in the elegant, rippling “St Tropez” for example - of vintage Cluster or Ralf & Florian. In the propulsive arpeggios of “…The Sculptor Steiner,” one may hear the influence of overlooked 70s Italian Futurist Franco Battiato or Taj Mahal Traveler Takehisa Kosugi. "Potentialities” recalls the suspended motorik pulse of Harmonia as well as the hypnopompic trance of early Terry Riley. “Fireflies On The Water” meanwhile, nods to the instrumental forays on Brian Eno`s “rock” albums. While drawing on these touchstones, In Light shows a commitment to originality in sensibility and vision.
