Born in Medellín, Colombia, Julián Esteban Torres López is a sonic architect, weaving aural cinematics, sonic mythology, and meta-sonic voyages into immersive soundscapes that challenge perception. A multi-hyphenate creator and prolific polymath, Julián’s artistry is a portal—an invitation to step beyond convention and into uncharted realms of vibration, storytelling, and experiential resonance.
Unbound by genre, he sculpts narrative sound art—not for imagined films or video games, but as fully realized conceptual sonic tapestries that stand on their own. Each composition unfolds as a living, breathing universe, crafted with meticulous artisanship, revealing the layered dimensions of relationships, emotions, memory, and myth.
His explorations extend into ceibaobab, the creative duo he co-founded with Aïcha Martine Thiam—a sonic collaboration where ancestral resonance and avant-garde innovation converge. Rooted in the symbolic ceiba and baobab trees, their work channels ritual, rhythm, and reinvention, expanding the possibilities of sonic expression beyond constraint. While distinct from his solo artistry, ceibaobab reflects Julián’s commitment to boundless creativity—another extension of his vision where music is not just heard but experienced.
Julián’s work is a radical exploration of sound’s transformative power. His immersive sonic landscapes disrupt domestication, embracing divergence and the unknown. Through experimental interwoven compositions, he reimagines the vibrational frequencies of existence, inviting listeners to engage with sound as revolution.
Creativity is boundless, and for Julián, it is liberation—an act of defiance against imposed structures. His music beckons the curious, the seekers, the wanderers—those willing to traverse the liminal expanse and reinvent the worlds within.
Sonic
Duo
ceibaobab is the fusion of roots and resonance.
Two artists. Two histories. One sound that refuses to be contained.
ceibaobab is not a genre—it is a meeting place, an unfolding dialogue between rhythm and ritual, between past and possibility. Created by Julián Esteban Torres López and Aïcha Martine Thiam, ceibaobab is where sonic exploration becomes communion.
Rooted in the namesake trees—the ceiba, a sacred conduit between realms, and the baobab, a guardian of ancestral wisdom—this duo pulls from lifetimes of stories, weaving their distinct traditions into compositions that breathe, expand, and defy classification. Julián, born in Colombia, carries the pulse of African, European, and Abya Yala Indigenous ancestry, guided by the ceiba’s cosmic bridge between earth and sky. Aïcha, of Senegalese Wolof heritage, embodies the baobab’s deep-rooted resilience, its ability to hold, protect, and remember.
Their sound moves without expectation, built on textures that shift between the organic and the electronic, between orchestrated melodies and whispered incantations. Their voices do not echo—they respond to one another, threading meaning through rhythm and breath. There is no formula, no repetition. Each creation is a story, sculpted from the fragments of history, imagination, and experimentation.
ceibaobab does not label itself—it invites. Invites those who listen to step into something unbound, where music is both map and destination. It is not entertainment—it is experience, a pulse, a reckoning.
Step under the canopy. Hear what waits beyond the known.
