THE ARTIST | Chris Bartels
We are thrilled to introduce Chris Bartels, the mastermind behind Elskavon. His groundbreaking compositions, which blend a diverse array of electronic and acoustic elements, serve as the foundation for the authentic sounds you’ll find in ETK. The majority of sounds are derived from his influential 2023 album, ‘Origins.’ Bandcamp eloquently described the album as ‘full of kaleidoscopic soundscapes that are joyfully danceable and optimistic.’ What sets Chris apart is not just his musical talent but also his innovative approach to transforming and manipulating sounds. Renowned for his intricate vocal manipulations and unique sound processing techniques, he adds a new layer of depth and creativity to our offerings at Somerville Sounds.
