The story and life of Snowman lost his head (SLHH) remains a mystery and, like the lake
monster, still submerged under water. Inside the lost head of this Snowman we find the Minorcan
painter and composer Alan Florit (Ciutadella de Menorca, 1979). Since 1997, with his first
electronic attempts and after playing drums in a post-rock band called “Sinevara”, Alan decided to
embellish the winters of the island with the sounds that blossom from his head. His renewed
identity was expressed in numerous experimental electronic and ambient albums, some of them
edited in digital format by international netlabels such as Webbed Hand Records, who published his
two most significant works, “Monster” (2007) and “The tightrope walker without balance” (2011).
Alan defines his compositions as “bedroom music” and it is from this artistic refuge of
experimentation -sheltered from the north wind- that his new project comes to us, flat out and
delicious, titled “Vincles” (Velomar Records, 2021), SLHH's second studio editted album.
If we listen to the music of Alan Florit as if we were looking at the sea from a cliff, we run the risk
of just getting the simple surface image. To listen to Florit's music we must take a leap and a deep
breath, and swim into the depths. Down there, in silence, we will see a colourful and bustling world.
The atmospheres we find in are expressed with multiple voices (both friendly and unfriendly) that
talk to us (either shouting or whispering) about ourselves. Only then will the abstract and sutle
power of the music invite us into introspection and to imagine, absorbed in a unique soundscape,
the scenes of an invisible movie. In that sense, SLHH's project contains echoes of contemporary
experimental electronic projects such as Murcof, the bucolic ambients by Eluvium, the post-
classical pieces by Goldmund or the compositions by Arvo Pärt.
The different atmospheres of SLHH also take us, placidly into a dream that never ends, to the
cinema. Most of his ambients are inspired by various films, from the work of Andrei Tarkovsky to
Japanese and Eastern European animated films. Precisely because of that, SLHH ́s cinematic music
essence has been used as a score in films by Joan Al·lès and Macià Florit, two Minorcan
filmmakers.
