Contemporary dance project and Spinning Volts
2001 Le Vow remaining members decide not to look for a vocal replacement and for the time being focused on an alternative kind of project that did nos involve vocals. Due to their success with the theatrical play of the previous year they were contacted by a local contemporary dance company for a joint project.
​
MUSIC FOR CONTEMPORARY DANCE PERFORMANCE: Along with “Kathak” a local dance company, they assemble a piece called “Déjà vu”, composing the music and playing it live along with choreography of the dance group . The performance was successfully presented in different local stages and festivals in Bolivia.
2002 Gerald rejoins the band and Le Vow records demos of new tracks, this time with a broader view (due to their last experiences). They decide to include some instrumental tracks and some tracks with a guest male vocalist along with Gerald’s singing. This would eventually become their fourth LP, “Spinning Volts”,
RECORDING SESSIONS: Because “Minim Poultrice” remained unrecorded, there was already a new record being written, while “Antisymmetry” was not recorded to the groups satisfaction . The band decided to rerecord it along with the two new records and have producers involved in this process.
Anti symmetry was produced by Marin Joffre while “Minim Poultice” and “Spinning Volts” were recorded by Ricardo Sasaki.
MANAGING: Juan Carlos Carrasco, and old friend of the band, officially assumes the managing of Le Vow and with the investment and partnership of Jose Jorge Saavedra. established “Huaqui Producciones” a record label that would have Le Vow as their first signed band.
​
SINGLE RELEASES: “Head out” and “Headless Nonsense” were the singles released from “Spinning Volts” with excellent response from Le Vow fans.
BOX SET RELEASE: “Le Vow- The collection” box set is officially released including four records, and simultaneously, “Spinning Volts” is released and promoted as the latest Le Vow record.
“Spinning Volts” sold hundreds of copies locally, and the box set was released as limited edition (250 packs), sold exclusively to fans (and not available in regular stores).
The main reason for completing all these records at once, in the best possible quality, reflected the bands decision to leave the country seeking new challenging horizons in the UK.
