Lotus Eater se formó en 2017 por Luca Mortellaro (Lucy) y Seth Horvitz (Rrose) quienes tienen más de 20 años de carrera musical. Horvitz ha trabajado con los seudónimos de Suite K, Sutekh y su más reciente apodo es Rrose. Como Sutekh ha sacado varios álbumes y singles desde 2000. Ha colaborado con varios connotados artistas como Martin Scorcese, Harmony Korine, Alexander McQueen, Charlemagne Palestine, Bob Ostertag, Silent Servant y Sandwell District.

Lucy es un(a) DJ y productor(a) italiano(a) residente en Berlín quien produce música psicodélica y realiza prácticas rituales, como sus aclamadas Sound Bath Meditations que involucran instrumentos tradicionales como gongs y campanas. También es fundador del sello Stroboscopic Artefacts en 2009, donde ha publicado sus propios trabajos y el de otros artistas. Ha colaborado con Speedy J, Ben Klock y Silent Servant.

“Plasma” es el segundo álbum de Lotus Eater en  Stroboscopic Artefacts después de "Desatura" (2018), compuesto por nueve piezas en las que convergen pulsaciones rítmicas con guiños al techno minimalista y las micro texturas, a través del trabajo pulcro con el software de diseño que insinúan una atmósfera oscura. Me aparece al escuchar este disco influencias del dúo con el trabajo de Plastikman, especialmente con su álbum “Consumed” (NovaMute, 1998). El dúo despliega la creación de ambientes inquietantes como motor fundamental de su propuesta que se traduce en un sonido penetrante que se desarrolla sigilosamente y que tiende a contenerse. 

Lucy y Rrose realizan un trabajo de artesano con cada track, creándole su propia personalidad y tejiendo micro texturas que se moldean el espacio sonoro que están creando.

Lotus Eater was formed in 2017 by Luca Mortellaro (Lucy) and Seth Horvitz (Rrose) who have more than 20 years of musical career. Horvitz has worked under the alias of Suite K, Sutekh and his/her latest moniker is Rrose. Like Sutekh has released several albums and singles since 2000. He/She has collaborated with various renown artists such as Martin Scorcese, Harmony Korine, Alexander McQueen, Charlemagne Palestine, Bob Ostertag, Silent Servant and Sandwell District.

Lucy is a Berlin-based Italian DJ and producer who produces psychedelic music and performs ritual practices, such as he/her acclaimed Sound Bath Meditations involving traditional instruments such as gongs and bells. He/She is also the founder of the Stroboscopic Artefacts label in 2009, where he has released several albums of his/her own and of other artists. He/She has collaborated with Speedy J, Ben Klock, and Silent Servant.

"Plasma" is the second album by Lotus Eater on Stroboscopic Artefacts after "Desatura" (2018), made up of nine pieces in which rhythmic pulsations converge with nods to minimalist techno and micro-textures, through a neat work with the software design that insinuate a dark ambience. It appears to me when listening to this album that the duo influences with the work of Plastikman, especially with his album "Consumed" (NovaMute, 1998). The duo deploys the creation of disturbing environments as the fundamental engine of their proposal, which translates into a penetrating sound that develops stealthily and tends to hold back.

Lucy and Rrose carry out a craftsmanship with each track, creating their own personality and weaving micro-textures that shape the sound space they are creating.
