Rosa Angelini – Hay una conspiracion en la tierra
[pn157]
Rosa Angelini
“Hay una conspiracion en la tierra”
“Hay una conspiración en la tierra” (“There is a conspiracy in the land”) statement by activist Angela Davis, enlightens this reflective musical act, standing up for Mother Earth and Human Rights, through latinamerican indigenous women, people, and world activists voices, sounds and resistance. It is a journey and, at the same time, a discourse, moving across acoustic and electronic textures, samples, soundscapes, world music and soundtracks, accompanied by protest performance actions, ritual, chants and dances by Mapuche performer artist and activist Lorenza Aillapán, and Rosa Angelini.
This sound-research-creative work generated an intermedia piece, a multimedia collective mise-en-scene (Ritual), fusing sound-and-music, performance art in socially and politically symbolic public spaces, by a female cast and live music, mingling powerful speeches and songs by global feminist and environmental movements, calling up to defend Mother Earth, Human Rights and aborigin tribes.
This mise-en-scene was premiered in May 2019 at “2do encuentro internacional de trabajadoras de las culturas y las artes” (II International Meeting of Women Culture and Art Workers) opening, at Teatro Solís open area in Montevideo, Uruguay, using Live Cinema techniques and an international cast of 50 performer artists. It has also been staged in Chile, at Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Museum of Fine Arts) frontis, Ventana-Quintero sacrificial area, and Plaza de la Dignidad, as an opening rite for International Women’s Day, March 8, 2020.
“Hay una conspiración en la tierra” is 30 minutes long. This version is a sample of the final scene (Mother Earth ritual).
Rosa Angelini.

misaa – minoritario
[pn156]
misaa
“minoritario”
At times, a tent appears in the hallways of a giant shopping center announcing a collective desire to elope. The times of cynicism and sitting on the beach chair, believing that nothing was going to melt from its foundations, are over.
The exercise of power is a pressure cooker, using (re)pression. Machinery requires to generate a drowning, and drown every slap made by the oppressed. It represses it with physical and economical violence, and with tons of images alluding to static structures. A majority category, a common point, to agree, but fundamentally unreachable and inaccessible in its totality. And there is a minority counterpart: poor, ugly, violeted, spectator of its own minority but immersed in the dream of being included, someday, by the majority.
But there is a third category, the one who does not want or need to continue playing the rules of a game that was created so that they would lose it. People with defective bodies, physically weak, second-level genres, depressed, shy and mutant, although they don’t stop moving. They require shaking and articulating themselves, know each other and look at each other, and so they realize that they were not so alone, and that they did not need the normality that the repressive images proposed to them. Seek the not obvious and realize yourself as a constant flow, that shakes and makes uncomfortable the status; questions, says and screams, and whose only way to be stopped completely, to be killed, is by condemning it to oblivion. Unfortunately, we have a good memory.
“minoritario” is an album that inserts us in a constant intermittency. Short rhythms and textures that draw a landscape where we are forced to be alert. The challenge of paying attention and perceiving what is around usduring a change of decade where we have the challenge of living with uncertainty every day. Musical pieces that announce the arrival of a momentthat does not stop becoming present, and in turn the challenge of facing what surrounds usto follow our constant march.

Corrado Saija – Marghera
[Lav84]
Corrado Saija
“Marghera”
Marghera
Presentazione dell’album
Marghera è un’esperienza sonora. Marghera è un itinerario musicale ed emotivo che porta a interpretare i suoni, a interiorizzare un messaggio soggettivo, personale, privato. Marghera è un’elaborazione di idee. Marghera è un riappropriarsi di un luogo-non luogo non antropizzato. Marghera è un gioco velato di sfondi.
Tinte malinconiche si alternano a spazi meditativi, tra densità e rarefazione. Suoni scolpiti, dialoghi, rumori, ritmi discreti; luoghi virtuali che diventano intimi, familiari; atmosfere eteree, vibranti, gassose, prodighe di suggestioni a tratti quasi rituali; ambienti sonori in cui abbandonarsi a sequenze di elettronica sofisticata, con tessiture ambient-glitch, o che indagano con pennellate tenui i diversi territori del suono. Un mondo ambient, lievemente pianistico. Un album che gioca sulle immagini, che presenta visioni di spazi esterni e di luoghi interni, da indagare con un punto di vista nuovo. Tutto questo è Marghera. Il resto va scoperto…

Mild Wild – Vol. 1
Mild Wild
“Vol. 1”
This music is written and recorded quickly to capture the emotion of the moment. It’s lyrics are mostly taken from stream of conciseness and short journal entries. Some sections work to tell a story while others are content to depict abstract thoughts and feelings. The songs contain themes of selfishness, youth, consumerism, relationships, pollution, drug use, duality, religion, and employment to name a few. Although it is up to the listener to take away whatever messages they hear.
The project has been a work in progress since 2018, picked up when it felt right and not forced. All 12 songs were recorded to cassette tape using a Tascam Portastudio. Guitars, and ukulele make up the majority of the instrumentation but banjo, synth, harmonica, and bells can be found throughout. In place of traditional drums found objects and small percussion have been layered and sampled to build a backing rhythm. While tracking a variety of guitar pedals were placed in line to manipulate the sounds. Nearly all of the vocal tracks have been run through a “Hall of Fame” reverb pedal and very little post production work was done. Vocal doubling and hard stereo panning aim to give the tracks a spacious and ambient feeling. Each track is different but the methods used to capture the audio give the project unity.
Mild Wild has taken it’s influences (both sonically and visually) from the writer’s experiences and upbringing, many of which are subconsciously sourced. However some artist that have directly shaped the direction of the music include The Beatles, Kool A.D., Mac Demarco, Pavement, The Kinks, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, George Orwell, Ansel Adams, and Vincent Van Gough. Although that list could be much longer with more self reflection.
Mild Wild creates music not for profit but to share a brand of creativity that is truthful. All the songs included in Vol. 1 are free to download and use however others may see fit. The music is licensed under a Attribution Creative Commons. The hope is that the sounds when set free will organically find their way into other creative places.

B.Toriyama – Riverside of Uji

B.Toriyama
“Riverside of Uji”
「近年、京都アニメーション作品に影響され宇治市に聖地巡礼を重ねるうちに、現地そのものに魅了され、「この景色を音に収めたい」と胸に抱く様になりました。
写真や動画、あるいは京アニ作品のブートレグに収めるのも良いですが、ここの空気の美味さは収めきれないでしょう。音にすることでいつでもその間宇治に帰れると思いました。
2019年11月にフィールドレコーディング後、暫く音源や制作に手つかずのまま、時勢は思わぬ方向に進み、遠い場所が更に手の届かない遠くへと離れていってしまいました。ようやく2020年3月に全ての収録曲を完成致しました。
この作品はアンビエントミュージックとして、リラックスした環境で楽しんで頂けますが、特に、このご時世で行きたくても行けない、帰りたくても帰れない、そんな方々の元に寄り添えられれば幸いです。」

co-dec & Android – Internado
[pn153]
co-dec & Android
“Internado”
Patricio González (co-dec) & Cristián Reyes (Android) are restless producers within the electronic culture in Santiago de Chile, each of them with an interesting portfolio of projects to his credit. González is the current director of prolific Orion Network label and former member of historic bands such as Vigilante. Reyes is an active composer and remixer whose tracks give live to the dancefloor in many clubs. Both come together in the live techno music group “Dentro del Mismo Individuo”.
Within their different styles, both have a common path of musical influences, that include from electro pop, new wave, dark to industrial techno and minimalism. Together they present this time an unreleased album based in the unique experience that “live” gives to recordings sessions, which unlike the work on studio, allows them to give free rein to the improvised exercise of building soundscapes with analogue electronic machines, samplers and drum machines.
The essence of this work, mainly guided by techno and electro beats, is a remix that both musicians have built in a single moment in live format, using as base and initial spark the individual stems from the track “Miniature” by C/VVV (Mika Martini, Pablo Flores and Francisco Pinto), electronic trio based in Santiago as well. The perfect excuse to start a journey of almost 45 minutes, which can be enjoyed both rhythmically and through the rich textures, melodies and modulations of synthesisers. Also, because the different scenes and emotions generated from this unique live creation, this release is a suggestive trip.
The recording of this concert was on July 28th, 2018, in the basement of “El Internado” venue, on the occasion of the celebration of the 13th Anniversary of Pueblo Nuevo netlabel.
Turn off lights, seek stimulation and make room to move freely with this album.
