Happiness will befall

label: Cronicaelectronica

year:2005

players: Lawrence English, Ben Thompson

Basic colours for large format canvases filtering the light of an slow experimental abstract contemplation. The natural flow, progressively overtaking one another is viewed in its swaying, pivotal movements, with electronic sound masses coming in and out of phase as the electronic veils alternate the nature of their opacity.

Colores primarios para lienzos de gran tamao que filtran la luz de una mirada experimental lenta y abstracta. El fluir natural, con diversas superoposiciones, aparece en sus movimientos ondulantes, centrfugos, con masas electrnicas de fase cambiante, mientras los velos electrnicos alternan la naturaleza de su opacidad.

players: Various

A meditated contribution to surrealism deeply indebted to the tradition of soundtrack composition. Set in Italy, the music amply illustrates the kafkesque wanderings of its protagosnists through a labyrinthine odyssey if punctiliously narrated, weaving a myriad of influences and styles into a precious, witty and colourful tapestry.

Meditada contribucin al surrealismo con amplia influencia de la composicin de bandas sonoras. Ubicada en Italia, la msica ilustra los kafquianos avatares de los protagonistas a travs de una odisea laberntica aunque narrada al detalle, tejiendo un millar de influencias y estilos en un colorido tapiz preciosista salpicado de humor.

year:2003

players: Ferran Fages, Ruth Barbern, Alfredo Costa Monteiro

Centred around the sonic behaviour of materials, this recording covers a wide range of by-products disembodied through a blown-up dimension of textures and volumes, recurrent cycles of fricative experimentation portraying a dance of overlaid veils, alien to the original gesture by means of a careful postproduction.

Centrada en el comportamiento sonoro de los materiales, la grabacin cubre un amplio abanico de residuos desgajados mediante una dimensin ampliada de texturas y volmenes, ciclos recurrentes de experimentacin fricativa que ilustran un baile de velos superpuestos, ajenos al gesto original a travs de una cuidada postproduccin.

Compositions thrive on atmospheric soundscapes, free-influenced folk tracks and orchestral arrangements instrumentally crafted. The featuring poetical allusions (of a marked avangardist influence) contributes to recreate the multistylistic aesthetics of the author, evoking a postmodern aftertaste akin to soundtrack composition.

Las composiciones frecuentan los paisajes atmosfricos, cortes folk de influencia free y arreglos orquestales de factura instrumental. La inclusin de alusiones poticas (de marcada influencia vanguardista) contribuye a recrear la esttica multiestilstica del autor, evocando un retrosabor postmoderno afn a la composicin de bandas sonoras.

A collective research in the typology of experimental sound particularly drawn towards residual sound and the grain of fabrics, this group moves from a horizontal stance a more dynamic dialogue of greater density and livelier tempo. Electronic abstraction provides a meeting point for both electronic and acoustic sound sources.

Bsqueda colectiva en la tipologa del sonido experimental tendente al sonido residual y a la textura del tejido, este grupo va desde una postura horizontal hacia un dilogo ms dinmico de ocasional densidad y tempos ms vivos. La abstraccin electrnica aporta un punto de encuentro tanto para las fuentes electrnicas como acsticas.

Centred around static soundscapes, this trio blends a diverse musical backgrounds, featuring acoustic and electronic instruments, their sonority expanded through preparation and extended techniques. The observation of microscopic overtones is done wih great economy, which also hints to the drone ascendacy of the music.

La observacin de armnicos microscpicos se produce con gran economa de medios, lo que apuna el linaje pedal de la msica.

year:2005

players: Stevan Kovacks Tickmayer

An original compositional world elaborated as an organic jigsaw puzzle featuring a wide range of instruments and electronics. The outlook masterfully blends an experimental approach with a metacompositional conception, resulting in a hiperdense extension of melodic, rhytmical and textural multistylistic concerns. Un original mundo compositivo elaborado como un puzle orgnico que incluye un amplio abanico instrumental y electrnica. El planteamiento funde a la perfeccin un planteamiento experimental con un concepto metacompositivo, que resulta en una ampliacin de carcter hiperdenso de ideas meldicas, rtmicas y texturales.

year:2005

players: Isao Otake, Koji Asano, Hisashi Nagata

Overt influences of symphonic, psychedelic and experimental rock set within asymmetrical time signatures, embossed unison phrasings, tight arrangements and extended instrumental techniques. The rehearsal room, home-made aesthetics and the choice of instruments -in terms of timbre- convey a vintage after-taste to the result. Evidentes influencias del rock sinfnico, psicodlico y experimental en un marco de compases asimtricos, destacados fraseos en unsono, arreglos ajustados y tcnicas instrumentales ampliadas. La esttica de local de ensayo, grabacin casera, y la eleccin tmbrica de los instrumentos aportan un sabor retro al resultado.

The sonic canvas is impregnated with gestural palyndromes, encompasing a range of ochre tonalities for a series of minimalist, abstract paintings where the tactile surfaces invite the senses to suspend their restlessness, embracing a horizontality that weaves sonic continuums of experimental, drone-like stillness revolving around emptiness.

El lienzo sonoro est impregnado de palndromos gestuales que abrazan la paleta de tonalidades ocres propia de una serie de cuadros abstractos, donde las superficies tctiles invitan a los sentidos a suspender su inquietud, penetrando una horizontalidad que teje continuos sonoros de tipo pedal que giran en torno al vaco.

Doubly articulated this collection of songs ?masterfully embodied within the tradition of large jazz ensembles and their memorable reeds textures- proposes the coexsitence of cool-influenced orchestral reminiscences -alternatively hinting to cabaret and le swing- along with the bold if camouflaged imagery of its lyrics, true backbone to the project.

De doble articulacin, la coleccin de canciones -magistralmente encarnadas en la tradicin de las grandes orquestas de jazz y sus memorables texturas de viento- propone la coexistencia de acabados cool ?con guios alternativos al cabaret y le swing- y la atrevida aunque camuflada imaginera de sus letras, verdadero esqueleto del proyecto.

A large ensemble compositional project in the realm of free improvisation. Complex sonic textures, carefully arranged passages and all manner of instruments (mainly acoustic) results in complex sound worlds where modern music compositional ideas and ambients are seamlessly blended with experimental noise and idiomatic phrasing.

Resulting from previous abstraction ?reflecting instrument deconstruction- the encounter between two sopranos is recorded from a naturalistic stance indebted to electroacoustics. Residual sound, microscopic by-products, fricative breath overtones and mechanical noise contribute towards the creation of this experimental collage.

Resultado de una abstraccin previa ?que refleja la deconstruccin instrumental- el encuentro entre dos sopranos grabado desde una mirada naturalista deudora de la electroacstica. Sonido residual, accidentes microscpicos, armnicos de respiracin fricativa y ruido mecnico contribuyen a la creacin de este colage experimental.

The interactive arena drawn by this free improvising trio progressively moves from isolated, simultaneous discourses -interaction expressed through a process of coexistence-, featuring a more enhanced timbric range, to more cohesive, collectively built fast passages where tone colour becomes simpler as denser sound textures set in.

El panorama interactivo dibujado por este tro de improvisacin libre se mueve de discursos aislados, simultneos, de paleta tmbrica ms amplia y cuya interaccin se expresa por la coexistencia, hacia pasajes de tempo rpido, de carcter ms cohesivo y construccin colectiva donde la riqueza tmbrica se reduce ante texturas ms densas.
