Attawalpa signs to Thurston and Eva Moore's Daydream Library Series label
Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore has announced Attawalpa – the London-based South American multi-instrumentalist Luis Felber – as the latest signing to his Daydream Library Series record label with Eva Prinz.
In the first artist signing agreement of its kind, the Daydream Library Series label will release the Dolby Atmos edition of the album, Experience, by Attawalpa. Thurston Moore says of the arrangement — delineating the Dolby Atmos masters: “It is with a mutual respect and understanding of the surround sound technology, we trust Luis Felber with his articulate insight of height channels and free-moving sound objects to interpret his already gorgeously spaced-out album ‘Experience’ with three-dimensional objects with neither horizontal nor vertical limitations."
His partner, Eva Prinz has stated: “The Daydream label remains focused on digital releases,” and reports “we are working with digital signal processing platforms to continue to explore technologies which intend to improve upon the quality of distribution/streaming and interactions of our artist’s recordings, storytelling and art”.
“As a lifelong fan of his guitar wielding, songwriting, iconic cultural contribution and all around craft, I understandably flipped out when I received a text from Thurston saying how much he was enjoying my album Experience. It’s beyond a pleasure and an honour to be a Daydream Library artist. I love each and every artist and release they have put out. Here’s to the future of guitar music and here’s to Attawalpa’s Dolby Atmos Experience.”
Attawalpa’s previous album Presence was released in 2022 and he has also released two EPs. Felber’s artist name is taken from his full name, which is Luis Delfin Attawalpa Saul Felber. “Since I was a child, music and songs have given me safe and wonderful worlds to live in. I hope listeners can do the same with ours,” he adds.
The Dolby Atmos–mastered edition of Experience will be released this Friday, 19 September.
