New album drops May 2, 2025!
fivebyfive’s fifth album release features a new work by Grammy-nominated and Latin Grammy winner Roberto Sierra, "Sonidos de Tlön" commissioned by fivebyfive.
Sonidos de Tlön was inspired by the 1940 short story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius by Jorge Luis Borges. The story describes Tlön, a fantastical place where, among other things, if you dance in a building you might find the building dances with you. Enter into a sonic landscape where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. Roberto Sierra's music evokes the shifting dimensions of Borges' literary universe, pulling us deeper into a realm where the fantastical becomes familiar, and the familiar becomes strange. We invite listeners to step into this fantastical musical twilight zone!
