Label Description: KPTLSTS is a musicproject without borders.
Raw and constantly in motion.
Built on spontaneity and transformation, KPTLSTS treats noise, silence, texture, rhythm, and chance as equal creative forces.
Acoustic gestures collide with electronic processing, fragments
emerge, dissolve, and return in unexpected forms.
Each performance becomes a temporary sound environment, unrepeatable, open-ended, and guided by freedom rather than fixed structure.
No rules. No limits. Only listening, movement, and freedom.
KPTLSTS “The Dressed-Up City”
This work could have been called “No Words”—since I do my writing at night—but that’s impossible, because I need words for the friends who have poured themselves into this project.
For starters—much like 50% of the human race—the first order of business is coffee, whether in the morning or to stave off sleep. I haven’t been drinking it lately, but for this project, we’ve essentially “subsidized” some American-style coffee to help bring this little event to life—featuring the delicate, glorious piano playing of a young guy. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful track, elevated by the trumpet work of that same friend, serving as a symbolic departure from everything else. Now, let us share our truth—our own version of this unreality.
Here we are, the KPTLSTS artists, living in a humble present—a space filled with both uncertainty and dreams. Sometimes, you just wish for a Lorazepam to keep from dreaming about monsters with strange, unfamiliar faces (go to hell and stay there—or at least give us a heads-up next time, you ugly lot!). These are people who appear malevolent in our eyes—and in our dreams, they truly are—though in reality, things are often even worse. This is our gift to you: an embrace of imperfection, beyond the need for words. Instead, the winds speak, tearing through spaces—inside out and back to front—weaving a beautiful thread through this city—a reality that is “dressed up” or adorned in a ritual of light and shadow. It’s not yet “stripped bare”—unlike the twelve-tone, demagogic dives that fed us so much in the past and still do today, like elephants wandering through a china shop. We’re always living on the edge, wondering if, one night, the wolves might finally come to devour us.
My own perspective—and that of the KPTLSTS collective—is simply about creating something *motu proprio*—of our own accord. We are arriving at a form of poetry that, much like resilient, glorious grass, is always waiting to sprout.
You’ll find the list of artists and their respective instruments below. There are certain things left unsaid in this work for now—some things are still “hanging out on the clothesline,” waiting to be revealed. Not many people understand this, I suppose. One must keep studying.

KPTLSTS “The Dressed-Up City”
Este trabajo podia llamarse “No Words”, porque escribo de noche, pero es imposible, porque tengo que tener palabras para mis amigos que se han volcado con este proyecto.
Como el 50% de los humanos lo primero es tomar café por la mañana o para no dormir. Últimamente no lo tomo pero en este caso tenemos que subvencionar el café americano por promover este pequeño acontecimiento con el sensible piano glorioso de un chaval, sí. Es una canción extraordinariamente bonita, sublimada por la trompeta del propio amateur para empezar este simbólico aparte de todo. Vamos ahora a decir nuestra verdad, nuestra versión de esta irrealidad.
Porque aquí estamos los KPTLTS artists con nuestro humilde presente lleno de incertidumbre y de sueños donde todos amarían un lorazepam para no soñar con monstruos de extraños rostros (Iros al infierno y no apareced más, o al menos avisad, gente fea) con gente maligna a nuestros ojos y que en los sueños lo parecen, aunque en la realidad sea mucho peor. Éste es nuestro regalo para ti, llegando a la imperfección sin palabras, porque hablan los vientos rompiendo espacios al derecho y al revés moldeando realmente un bonito hilo de esta ciudad- realidad vestida y/o engalanada en el ritual de los claroscuros, aún no desnuda como en los tugurios dodecafónicos y demagógicos de donde tanto nos alimentamos ayer y hoy nutriendo a elefantes en cacharrerías. Siempre cotizando a ver si nos comen los lobos alguna noche o alguna vez.
Mi pensamiento en personal y en este caso de KPTLSTS en particular creo o creemos es simplemente en hacer algo motu proprio. Estamos llegando a la poesía que siempre tiene que ir germinando como la gloriosa yerba.
La lista de artistas la tenéis a continuación con sus respectivos instrumentos. Hay cosas que no se dicen de momento en este trabajo porque hay ropa tendida. Ésto no lo entiende mucha gente, no sé. Hay que seguir estudiando.
