Ecomusica

Raul Ramirez’s one-man electronica show deploys computers, synthesizers, laser beams, keyboards, bass, guitar, and electro-acoustic drums. “Ecomusica tries to bring harmony to the environment and its listeners. So I try to contribute my own little grain of sand in trying to make this world a little better by making music that generates an overall positive feeling after experiencing it,” says Ramirez, whose latest work dwells on the more positive and upbeat side of lounge music, making it less a chill-out record and more an ambient lounge type of groove. — Rayme Samuels
