Audiotalaia

Recordings done in Castellón de la Plana (Valencia, Spain) the 12th of February 2016. Recorded, conducted and edited by: Edu Comelles. Interview (english): Monographic Podcast: _ A stream of harmonics, resonances and ceramic. Tomoko Sauvage is a Japanese born sound artist currently living in Paris. His work centres the attention on sound experimentation with bowls of china of different sizes, water and hydrophones (subaquatic microphones). Sauvage Plays with a variety of sounds and bells extracted directly of the manipulation of the bowls, the bubbles, the water and the resonances of these elements. All this combined with drones and natural harmonics creating a delicate balance between chaos, containment and randomness. The resultant game is a fluid audible landscape that changes and dialogues with the space through his fragile tonalities. Tomoko Sauvage currently offers workshops and has taken part in exhibitions in Europe, United States, Canada and Japan; often in solitary or in coll...

Atilio Doreste and José Guillén are two improvisers that found each other in the Island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands reef. And they found each other by exploring, experimenting and developing an intuitive framework around a few core ideas and basic principles. Some of those ideas already explored and analysed on the previous release by Doreste on Audiotalaia “Shifting Boundaries” in which this Canarian photographer explored environmental improvisations with small circuit bending devices. Doreste and Guillen meet quite ofte...

Both of them have spent the last year working together on sound from an improvisational perspective. After a few releases in its own label Ex-Nihilio they where approached by the Audiotalaia team to develop an album for our digital catalogue. Eleven Koans presents itself as a series of small improvised pieces inspired by several lines of thought from Buddhist inspiration. Beyond the philosophical implication or concepts beyond what Area and Gris are doing; we are in front of eleven small gems beautifully crafted that deserve the best listening experience to grasp all its nuances. Each of the Eleven Koans that conform this album can be ...

He’s been for many years producing a wide variety of styles always keeping an eye into the realm of experimentation, dark ambient and other obscure genres of the electronic universe. After a few months of work Carlos Suero is in charge of opening the season at Audiotalaia with Trans-Neptunian Objects a dense album presenting the most gloomy side of his alter ego Godafoss. Trans-Neptunian Objects opens with Fro a foggy landscape of Drone Pillars that withstand in front of us as the gates of an obscure territory. The piece serves as an introduction to the world Godafoss is taking us. From the outer-space wink we get to know its utter inspiration, the common territory in...

Always keeping in mind the hot Spanish summer, Daniel Blomquist Nascent / Egress is the right recipe for that weather. Blomquist language navigates between the digital imagery and the analogue warmth of tape looping. In this two pieces release we can have a grasp of his way to work, approach and view over sound, composition and sonic texture. Beyond the first glance, Nascent / Egress unveils a whole horizon of sonic imagination that unfolds in front of us. Blomquist work it has always a certain remembrance of being part of a cinematic experience, it has narrative, drama and epics embedded on its DNA. Blomquist music has a soul, and emotivity, and this is a breath of fresh air after too much emot...
