Date of release: 03.04.2019 Format:  FILE - MP3 / WAV Length:  13:04 min Artwork:  Hajimi Kato / Audiotalaia _ DOWNLOAD RELEASE (WAV) DOWNLOAD RELEASE (MP3) DOWNLOAD FULL RELEASE _ _ Conceptually, the piece combines electronic, sound generating circuits with vocal performance, considered as a balanced combination of sound sources informed by traditions of art, song writing & electronic music. Some of the ideas implemented in the piece are the blending in of song structures as a textural element in the sound rather than a foreground lead singer role. The purpose of blurring the edges of concepts such as producer, lead singer, instrumentalist etc. is to work against the inherent hierarchical structures in such binary dichotomies such as singer / producer, artist / musician etc. Technically the piece is semi-improvised, semi-composed. The recording is made in Mayhem, Copenhagen, and edited in Tokyo, Japan. Throughout the process, the piece has been in constant developme...

Y sobre todo, ¿cómo conseguir todo eso sin fotocopiar lo que otros ya han hecho en ese mismo terreno, cómo hacerlo aportando un plus diferenciador? Todas estas preguntas se contestan, casi sin querer encontrar la respuesta, de forma intuitiva, en este extenso discurrir por un espacio cerrado y cercado por el sonido que es “Shoganai”, el nuevo disco de David Area. Es imposible separar el concepto sonoro de “Shoganai” de la idea de extensión y largo recorrido. Porque ese moverse sin moverse requiere de espacio, densidad, expansión. Requiere el silencio, la pausa y la...

The project exists halfway through the school and the artistic sphere. The aim of the project is to merge experimental music and media arts within different social groups. They usually work with collectives that have no linkage or involvement in any artistic scene hence they are not conditioned by preconceptions, restrictions and constrains from this creative spheres.  Murcia and Pelechano in constant search of the spontaneous, accesible and unique capabilities that can rise from any human being regardless of their condition, background or origin.  A good exemple of the freedom and breaking-boundary attitude is their previous instalment in the series released in Audiotalaia back in 2014 wh...

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

[at091] José Venditti - Hiperobjetos

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. The trio explor...

[at089] Carlos González - On Patterns

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 ...
