Title - Un Soliste Seul (Limited Edition)
Artist - Juan R. Leõn
For those not in the know, this marks the first studio album from musical visionary Juan R Leõn, often described as a “mad scientist” of sound.
Un Soliste Seul showcases an extraordinary collection of solo bass compositions spanning more than two decades of Juan’s personal studio recordings. Each piece has been carefully curated and remastered for this special release, offering listeners a rare glimpse into Leon’s innovative musical journey.
In addition to these archival works, the album features a brand-new composition written exclusively for this limited-edition CD, further highlighting Leon’s evolving artistry and deep commitment to pushing the boundaries of progressive music.

With Leõn being, amongst other things, a NS Stickist/Stickist/Zen 10-ist/Bassist and Native American Flutist, Co-founder, composer & writer with Stanislav and The Lion, and creator of Emotional Response Sound Experiments (E.R.S.E.), he opens this new recording on the impassioned guitar piece, and aptly titled Snarl and then we are gifted the emotive A Myth Retold, the preciseness of his artform shining through next on Calculated Risk, and then we get some dedicated angular reaches shown within Watering The Moon.
Along next is the formatively cultured Jesus Wept and that is in turn backed by the atmospherically-charged Soledad Y Cambio, then the spaciously spacial Flooding The Moon, the set rounding out on the melodically rhythmic The Black Scallion, coming to a close on a veritably shimmering, electronically expansive, yet sonically grounded richness of sounds within Madrugada.
