About „eXante“
Sera Kalo’s album entitled, eXante is a collection of genre-bending songs characterized by passionately melodic progressive futuristic soul melodies that merge with a sultry electronic atmosphere and unconventional rhythms. eXante branches into two sound collages. The first being an extravagant soundscape of acoustic-electronic characteristic guided by audiovisual narratives of healing and the movement towards serendipity. The second being an intimate eargasm of warm and deep overtones that sonify the themes of love and desire. eXante is a window into the many universes within Sera Kalo’s person and artistry through sensitive song arrangements and poetic story-telling. Sera Kalo co-produced this dynamic work with dear friend, swedish bassist and producer, Petter Eldh. Their great musical connection and bountiful imagination brought this album to life. eXante also highlights the worthy contributions of the incredibly diverse and international music scene in Berlin,Germany featuring artists like Otis Sandsjö, Philo Tsoungui, Ruhi Erdogan, Julia Kadel, The String Arkestra and many more…
