Esteve Alquezar Mora – Votis

Esteve Alquézar Mora, known as Votis, was born on 25 December, 1981. His fascination for keyboards started at an early age. He is currently an engineer by profession and and a musician by heart.

Pressing keys causes things to happen, though not always as expected. In fact, playing keys involves making small decisions. In this case, Endavant Vida / Life, the album you have before you, is a collection resulting from small, unexpected decisions, where the various themes it is shaped by were constructed, key after key.

While the lockdown played a major part in all this extra key playing, the process of turning it into five themes was relatively short. An unprecedent- ed work, this first album by Votis was completed within a few weeks in the winter of 2021. Crucial here was the inspiration that came from Votis’ family and friends; above all Rosina, his wife and companion throughout the entire process, from the modest beginnings of a few notes to the exciting culmination of the album’s recording in a professional studio.

Spontaneous and unpretentious, the album is short, direct and easy on the ears. Harmony may be simple, like Endavnt Vida/Life, but the same is not al- ways true of its accomplishment. Hence the sim- ple base overlaid by a blend of feelings, especially intense from the last year and a half, overlying a simple base. There are so many variations in the songs here, as with the paths of life and keys we play, that only a few could be included in this album. Like Endavnt Vida/Life itself.
