Gigi Masin - Movement for

A trailblazing composer and multi-instrumentalist whose sound has evolved through ambient, jazz and electronic dance music, Gigi Masin is living his second life as an artist. In 1986, he released the ambient masterpiece Wind and then disappeared. Decades later, as a lot ambient classics resurfaced and his work was widely sampled, he returned crafting limpid piano melodies, swirls of synthesizer and foggy reverb, while exploring string-led classical minimalism, drowsy trip-hop and cinematic new-age atmospheres. Masin returns to Le Guess Who? to present his new album, Movement. The tracks are dynamic, draped in ambient hues but propelled by the vitality inherent to all great dance music. He calls it “music for moving the body”, rhythm for the romantic soul. 

This artist is part of the program curated by Los Thuthanaka. The duo, founded by siblings Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, has curated a program featuring artists who explore Indigenous Andean culture and translate it into contemporary experimental, electronic and psychedelic forms.
