Floating Points returns with new single, "Del Oro"
Sam Shepherd, AKA Floating Points, has returned with the brand new single, "Del Oro" as his first release of the year.
"Del Oro" follows last year's release, "Birth4000", which came after Shepherd spent the most part of 2023 composing his first ballet for symphony orchestra and electronics. Mere Mortals will be performed by the San Francisco Ballet, premiered earlier this year in January.
The accompanying artwork comes from Tokyo based artist Akiko Nakayama. Nakayama brings her painting to life using vibrant liquids that combine and wash away, meant to represent the natural growth, change and life cycle of all things on earth. Nakayama worked alongside long-time Floating Points collaborators Hamill Industries to create the “Alive Painting” to accompany the track.
"Del Oro" is out now via Ninja Tune.
