The six tracks forming this muffled joint of electronic soundscapes are part of a intensive workflow in which playfulness, intuition ...

He has subsequently enumerated five characteristics of hyperobjects: Viscous: Hyperobjects adhere to any other object they touch, no matter how hard an object tries to resist. In this way, hyperobjects overrule ironic distance, meaning that the more an object tries to resist a hyperobject, the more glued to the hyperobject it becomes Molten: Hyperobjects are so massive that they refute the idea that spacetime is fixed, concrete, and consistent. Nonlocal: Hyperobjects are massively distributed in time and space to the extent...

The three of them are part of the almost-historic collective maDam based in Madrid. This variable ensemble has been operating since almost 10 years and has been at the core center of the improvisation movement in the capital of Spain. Its latest iteration has been very close related to the trio here presented. Beyond the musical links, the three of them share a friendship forged over the years and a listening understanding of each other cristalized also in the shared project with Madrid based artists Mario Sarramián which whom they have recorded and played under the name Nanimo.

Date of release: 17.12.2018  Format:  FILE - MP3 / WAV  Length: 09:06 min  Artwork : Audiotalaia  _ DOWNLOAD RELEASE (WAV) DOWNLOAD RELEASE (MP3) DOWNLOAD FULL RELEASE _ _ On Patterns is a sound diptych that explores the concept of violence in sound gestuality. Through digital aesthetics and concrete sounds Carlos Gonzalez unfolds ideas, concepts and tentatives towards an experimental practice in two main directions, recorded sounds and digital processing. The first piece has been entirely generated from synthetic sounds, is obsessively developed from an initial motif that leads to gestures of a generative nature. On the contrary, the second piece explores diverse cyclical patterns, mechanical gestures and granular textures from a recorded sample of scratched plastic. Both pieces are intended to transport the listener into a world of sounds of apparent certainty, whose sources and behaviors we believe we are able to decipher, only to be eventually evaded. This ...

As he always states in conversations "I love all kinds of music". That statement could be something rather simplistic but in fact it just underlines his understanding of music and curiosity for all forms of it, regardless of styles, schools or genres. But not only that is unique from Victor Trescolí, he's also a tirelessly worker and researcher and  advocate of the use of Toy Piano as bast and complex instrument. Six years ago Trescolí released in this very label Not a Toy a statement of intends (fostered by the very Karlheinz Essl) that marked and registered its devotion for this particular instrum...
