This October we are glad to present the latest work by Seville sound artist David J Fonseca. After many years working on soundtracks and compositions for theater and documentary Fonseca delivers âAl Borde Del Silencio (Something like, "at the edge of silence" in Spanish). After releasing on well known Alg-a Netlabel, Fonseca delivers the next step on his personal approach on sound composition. Becoming a trademark of his own style Fonseca presents a collection of minimalistic pieces that explore different ways to display and distribute sound on our auditory perception. This work ranges from electric-like drones to pure field recordings and explores the dialogues and correlations that can exist between different sound textures. Fonse...

[at032] Alozeau - Returning Waves

Image
Date of release: 11.09.10 Format: FILE - MP3 Lenght: 29:02 min Artwork: Audiotalaia _ DOWNLOAD FULL RELEASE (MP3) DOWNLOAD ARTWORK (JPG) hosted at:  archive.org _ After the summer break Audiotalaia is back with a new release. This time we are getting closer to the work of Valencian sound artist Josué Coloma. Under his alias Alozeau, Coloma presents a five track EP entitled Returning Waves. After having released at Coda Netlabel and Chennoir Netlabel, Alozeau presents a synthetic album that explores small topics in each track. It seems that every composition on this album has a concrete topic and theme that is been repeated all along. Despite this consideration the album tells a story that is shifting at every stop. At certain point Alozeau dares to twist our auditory perception with a short track that changes the whole pace of the album, generating some sort of crossroad that will lead us to the final track, Returning Waves. Finally this release is a very good example of carefully ...

CICLO HERZIOS! 2010-2012 / Valencia, La Clínica Mundana. El Ciclo Herzios fué una serie de conciertos que tuvieron lugar en La Clínica Mundana. Después de dos años de actividad ininterrumpida, el ciclo finalizó su actividad. A lo largo de los dos años de vida artistas de Valencia y el resto del estado, participaron en los conciertos conformando una iniciativa única en el ámbito de la música experimental y electrónica en Valencia. El ciclo Herzios ha sido ámpliamente reconocido por medios locales y nacionales y ha recibido el apoyo de muchos artistas emergentes.

Image
Date of release: 08.05.10 Format: FILE - MP3 Lenght: 28:49 min Artwork: Sara D _ DOWNLOAD FULL RELEASE (MP3) DOWNLOAD ARTWORK (JPG) DOWNLOAD ARTWORK (PDF) hosted at:  archive.org _ We are proud to receive again the work of Australian artist Philip Sulidae. After his first release in Audiotalaia (Southwest) Sulidae presents "Meetings With Half Light" a 5 track EP in which we can find a beautiful gathering of drones, soundscapes and textures. As always the consistency of Sulidae's work can be seen widely on this 31st release on the label. Sulidae performs here with accuracy and solemnity trying one more time to build a sound space always referring metaphorically to experienced situations confronting nature and landscape. It's interesting to remark the combination of electronic drones and field recordings. Sulidae is a composer that plays with multiple layers of sound textures building a slow pace in which the scenes and sensations are appearing in front of you as if the...

We are happy to host a small part of the extensive oeuvre done by this artist from Barcelona. For this 30th release on Audiotalaia we have a two pieces EP keeping the essence of sustainer's project. There is a topic, a concept a theme and there is a kindness composing all those sustained lines of drones that had become a trade mark for Alex Alarcón. A few years ago Alarcón recorded a wall piano. He asked a friend to play sustained notes allowing the sound to disappear slowly. After those sessions recording the piano, Alarcón had been using that material in some live sessions and concert. Finally after many years he has recovered that material and used to produce a diptych that shows the strength and the vision of true...

[at029] Eemian - Esker

Image
Date of release: 04.04.10 Format: FILE - MP3 Lenght: 35:28 min Artwork: Edu Comelles _ DOWNLOAD FULL RELEASE (MP3) DOWNLOAD ARTWORK (JPG) hosted at:  archive.org _ Eemian (Aka Alejandro Remeseiro, Konsumprodukt) is the result of an investigation on ambient music. This investigation parts from a sentence that Alejandro read. Te text talked about an ambient music release and the author described the hearing experience as if "you can't dance this music, it's like sitting on a Glacier and waiting to se how it melts down". So Eemian is this, is an abstract approach on how a glacier should sound like. Moreover, the album has always direct references to those nature phenomena, all tracks are named referencing famous glaciers over the world. Finally the sound of Eemian is a properly crafted collection of textures and drones that smoothly are evolving through time. Remeseiro uses a reduced palette of sonorities even though the depth and structure of the pieces is kept producin...

After many releases in labels all around the world this ambient experimental artist presents Flora & Fauna at Audiotalaia. This short EP has been produced using different soundscapes and field recordings from cities such as Stockholm (Sweden) and Berlin (Germany). Slow combines an abstract approach on sound experimentation with layers of recorded soundscapes. The mix of non controlled sound sources with the controllable scope of electronic sound provides an interesting space in which textures, drones and more musical structures merge together forming a strange atmosphere of introspection. If in Fauna de approach is the one described above, in Flora, Suokas develops a more electroacoustic composition. On t...
