Jose Miguel Candela

“Dos mil veinte”

This album responds to an inescapable need to interact, from my creative work, with the serious events that have occurred in Chile since the social outbreak of October 2019 to date. These are urgent compositions, made in the late night of the impact, thus responding to the inhumane act of political-economic power. Once again, this power has exercised the most brutal violence against the Chilean people, through someone else’s hand. So never again!

Carlo Giustini

“Colla (Double Album)”

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, looking outside the window and noticing that something has actually changed. The world is still there, it sleeps but it is present, mocking you constantly and slowly showing itself .

Anyway now something seems to cover reality with a thin layer of bright glue, an ambiguous material that hides the features of things and that unfolds the world under a different, bright light.

You walk, this concrete is soft, the walls of the houses are covered with morbid, viscous, beautiful materia.

This world speaks to you, it tells you a different story. You could stay here forever and forget an imposed, harsh past. In this new vision, however, the past coexists, it lives and it embraces you, forever wrapped in a flaming rodeo loop. A giant puppet show put up by family and friends.

“Colla” is a metaphor, a hope for a different dimension, where thought generates tangible content without too much effort.

Georgina Canifrú – Ensayos de distancia

Georgina Canifrú – Ensayos de distancia
[pn168]

Georgina Canifrú

“Ensayos de distancia”

With the purpose of perceiving the spatial/sonic distance through drifts/displacements between rehearsal rooms of music schools in the metropolitan region of Chile, and the rehearsal rooms of Córdoba and Buenos Aires, Argentina, this auditory register transports us to realities that today are no longer familiar. In this way, when going through the seven tracks we can connect with situations, sounds and spaces that evoke a human activity that as a consequence of the pandemic have become distanced themselves, the rehearsal.

During the development of the project and Micro-File Memory of the Project ESSAY ROOM n ° 2: Distance in piano and double bass developed at the IMUC (2012) with the tutorship of Luis Prato, Georgina manages to capture/record those moments of proximity/distance where the music that is still prepared with dedication before entering the scene lives. Just as the map has been the main instrument of communication of the cartographer, or of he/she or those who have drawn it, over the most diverse foundations and with varied techniques and purposes; Georgina manages in each work of this album to present a concrete manifestation of a geographical reality, situating us in those places and achieving sonic displacement.

In each listening we can go through corridors, stairs, sounds of instruments, voices, steps that fill our memories with emotion and a little nostalgia, transporting us to that instance, to those stories, that provoke us to converse in order to relive those moments of camaraderie. Each melody heard in the records allows us to connect with what we already know about music, to distinguish between one subject and another, to recognize who wrote it or what period it belongs to, these are exercises that are undoubtedly triggered by this work of Georgina, who with her decision to activate her own listening today re-activates us and invites us to feel that this waiting for physical distance has an end.

At present, distance has been assumed as a necessary action to protect the human well-being that is health. Distance has also been synonymous with respect, distrust, introspection, tours and displacements, actions that are applied in accordance with the circumstances and contexts. It was unthinkable to believe that today those spaces that the album evokes for us, an album that deserves to be listened to in a state of contemplation and intimacy, an album that invites us to reflect.

Distance, memory and longing, concepts that emanate from the origin of this album, located in diverse realities with connected situations, the rehearsal. Space for introspection, coordination, learning and communication, a space where poetry lives, the intangible heritage of that which is ephemeral in its temporal chronology but which leaves its mark on the sonic imaginary, making the reunion with these urban landscapes audible and possible.

Thuoom

“Luonto”

Luonto is the eight proper Thuoom album. As the other full-length album released on the same day Natur under the monicker Thuuooom) the sounds on this record consist 100% of nature field recordings. The recordings contain mostly birds but you can also hear bumblebees, deer, fishes mating, hints of human voices, small insects, sounds of walking through forest, wind, and windchime. Some of the tracks stay faithful to the sounds heard in nature (albeit in edited form), others mutate them into proper forestelektro.

Instruments used on this record: Field recordings captured with a binaural Soundman OKM II Classic Solo microphone attached to a Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder.

“(sounds of) Lockdown”

During the period of confinement caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, there were places I visited to record their soundscapes. These, especially those of Geophony, were now more awake than ever, since man-made sounds were far fewer in number but nevertheless never ceasing to be heard. Life in agriculture, in the forest or in industry, although at a slower pace, never stopped. This sound work was carried out using binaural and aural microphones and tries to mirror the acoustic dynamics of various locations and villages in the municipality of Oliveira do Hospital, next to the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, between March 16 and May 15, 2020.

Shinpal

“Texture”

Shinpal is a musical and emotional itinerary that leads to the interpretation of sounds. Monocromatic melancholy alternate with meditative spaces, between density and rarefaction. Sculpted and texture sounds, noises, discreet rhythms; virtual places that become intimate, familiar; ethereal and vibrant.

These four tracks plays on images, which presents visions of external spaces and internal places, to be investigated with a new point of view. The rest must be discovered …

“3pr(iii)8ses”

1- Sounds of Silence “Friendly Storm”
How to make a recording so that the whole body can hear it, a soundscape that passes its secrets from one body to another? Friendly Storm opens with a machine breath, passing voices, a river trek. Hydrophone instants and domestic reveries. The ghost dogs bark all night, while the storms blow in news from the North African coast sending passenger pigeons scurrying across the roof. Missives from the global village. Sealed with a stretched kiss of male harmony, offering a slower sound of silence. Recorded in Toronto (Canada) and Bocale (Italy) in 2019-2020.

2- Richard Bentley “Hedgehog Shelter”
The discovery of a hedgehog tormented by lungworm, wheezing, snorting and struggling for air, prompted a visit to the local rescue centre. The outing afforded me an opportunity to get close to the animals and their crunching, rustling and huffing. The recordings were made in August 2017 with assemblage by François-Emmanuel Fodéré in 2020. anoisysilence.com

3- François Dumeaux “Harmonikoak”
Paysage sonore enregistré en septembre 2017 en Basse-Navarre (Pays Basque nord) aux cabanes d’estive de Muskuldi, près de la forêt d’Irati.

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).

Budhaditya Chattopadhyay

“The Nomadic Listener”

This is a parallel release from The Nomadic Listener – an augmented book project on migration, contemporary urban experience, and sonic alienation. The book is composed of a series of texts stemming from psychogeographic explorations of major contemporary cities, such as Copenhagen, Berlin, Brussels, Leipzig, The Hague, Graz, London, Kolkata, Vienna, Delhi, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Amsterdam, New York, Paris, and others, through situated writing and field recording. Each text is an act of contemplative listening, where the artist/author records his surrounding environment and attempts to attune to the sonic fluctuations of movement and the passing of events. Each corresponding sound attempts to trace these nomadic interactions in unedited field recording. What surfaces is a collection of meditations on the minutiae of life movingly interwoven with the author’s own memories, associations, desires and reflections. The release and publication are entwined by a QR code for an augmented listening experience that draws up a tender map of contemporary cities, and the often lonely, surprising, and random interactions found in urban navigation.

MOHER

“Antropoceno Auto​-​Infligido”

Joana Moher only grants us a one-way ticket on a trip that will be ours alone, everything we find, whether abstract or objective, is something that only we keep inside. On the launching pad, the viewer has to disconnect from what he sees to start feeling what is going on inside him.

Microseconds of life memorized and stored in the depths of our daily lives. Some of which we can unveil in the projections that our thinking makes throughout this experience.

A psychedelic work in abstraction, geometric in error, sublime in mantra. Outdoor and everyday recordings that are stitched and manipulated for the purpose of flashback, retention or repression of our attention as an active receiver of our daily lives.

Jose Miguel Candela – Rezos
[pn155]

Jose Miguel Candela

“Rezos”

The following collection of prayers intends to establish a kind of intimate, microscopic, deep kinesics, an inner “small dance” that opens up introspection, meditation and / or contemplation paths. It is important, therefore, to consider that this set should not be understood as a religious production. Tao Te King (foundation for Taoist philosophy), insightfully states in its XXVIII epigram that religiousness is only an appearance of loyalty, but destitution of a real spiritual dimension.

These prayers represent an austere act of ancestral memory, an attempt to voice out a compound of elemental imagery found in many worldviews of the most diverse aboriginal cultures. It is incarnated through singing (an embodiment act) in order to share a willingness to connect with something I consider essential, something we cannot name (for by naming it, it is undone), the ancient, irrational core of all things living. Because of this, I invite you to listen to these pieces not as a work of art, even though they live as musical sound (not electroacoustic this time, but appealing to ambient music). The invitation is, through listening, to build up that bridge (pons + ifice, the bridge builder) that connects us and that primal, atavistic footprint living silently inside of us.

Five years after a homemade, very limited first release, I share this digital-only, free-download reissue via Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel. It is a small gift, looking forward to accompanying (us), one way or another, during these complex, critical (political, social, health, spiritual) moments we are going through as a planetary society.

Acoustic Mirror – Ecos

Acoustic Mirror – Ecos
[self/noise #12]

Acoustic Mirror

“Ecos”

self/noise nació en la primavera de 2013 como la extensión de una práctica – la práctica del activismo sonoro y la investigación sonora militante. Una práctica que iniciamos con la primera manifestación del 15 de mayo del 2011, y con las primeras horas de la ocupación de la Puerta del Sol de Madrid: todo esto que llamamos el #15M.

Desde aquellos inicios, arrancamos un largo camino de investigación y aprendizaje. En ocasiones, hemos tenido la oportunidad de emitir grabaciones de campo de acampadas, asambleas y calles tomadas por el #15M el mismo día que las habíamos realizado. Las llamábamos nuestras emisiones especiales, y, sí, reconocemos que eran bastante caóticas y ruidosas.

Hemos dedicado programas a nuestros antecesores, artistas y colectivos de activismo sonoro que nos han inspirado, como Christopher DeLaurenti (sobre todo, sus grabaciones de campo de la Batalla de Seattle de 1999), o la larga trayectoria del colectivo Ultra-red.

En algunas ocasiones, nos hemos centrado en las formas y prácticas de escucha activa. En 2013 nos sumamos al #WorldListeningDay, que fue, de lejos, el #WLD más comprometido con la escucha como práctica política.

En otras, nos interesábamos por las prácticas sonoras de resistencia y protesta. Así que dedicamos un programa especial a las caceroladas y a otras formas de /rough music/. Cómo no, también nos interesaba el uso del sonido por parte el poder. De ahí, nuestro programa dedicado a las armas sonoras (que sabemos que os gusta mucho).

Pero el sonido no ocurre en un vacío. Relacionarse con el paisaje sonoro es también conocer los espacios que habitamos. En 2014, dedicamos un programa especial a los paseos sonoros, y al caminar como práctica artística y política. (Grabamos el programa, por supuesto, caminando.) Y, en 2016, nos sumamos al proyecto La ciudad demudada, que investigaba las transformaciones que sufría la ciudad de Málaga en manos de la gentrificación.

Ha pasado bastante tiempo. El contexto y las circunstancias han cambiado. El paisaje sonoro se ha transformado. Nuestra práctica ha evolucionado. Nos guste o no, estamos, literalmente, lejos de aquellas plazas. Pero en algunas cabezas todavía resuenan los ecos de aquello.

Ahora, hemos vuelto. self/noise #12: «Ecos» es un collage sonoro de momentos destacados captados por nuestros micrófonos desde la primera manifestación del #15M y las primeras horas de la #AcampadaSol hasta los últimos estragos del movimiento allá por 2014. «Ecos» fue presentado por primera vez dentro de la instalación Listening Point en la exposición colectiva La Situación 2016, en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de Cuenca.

Emitido el mismo día 15 de mayo de 2020, en el noveno aniversario del inicio de aquellos acontecimientos, «Ecos» pretende ser un homenaje, una celebración, y también una re-evaluación de aquel momento. «Ecos» es un pequeño laberinto/mapa mental de espacios acústicos, que busca encontrar ecos de un futuro posible.

self/noise es un programa dedicado al activismo sonoro, a la escucha situada, y a la investigación sonora militante. Se emite con una temporalidad variable, pero con una persistencia a prueba de bombas.

Comments :

Ces enregistrements ont été faits lors de mon voyage à bord de l’autorail X 2807 du Chemin de Fer du Haut-Forez le 30 juillet 2019. L’association du CFHF, basée à Estivareilles (42), fait circuler des trains touristiques sur la partie réhabilitée de la ligne Bonson – Sembadel, reliant autrefois Saint-Etienne à la Haute-Loire en direction de la Chaise-Dieu et d’Ambert, ligne de montagne au profil difficile, au long de laquelle on découvre des paysages enchanteurs. Le premier enregistrement a été réalisé dans la cabine de l’autorail entre Craponne-sur-Arzon et Sembadel (Haute-Loire), aux côtés du conducteur. On perçoit le tintamarre caractéristique du moteur MGO de 825 cv et le klaxon, souvent actionné à l’approche des nombreux passages à niveau. Je remercie les bénévoles de l’association qui m’ont autorisé à enregistrer dans ces conditions exceptionnelles. Le second enregistrement a été capté pendant le voyage du retour entre Pontempeyrat où la ligne franchit l’Ance sur un impressionnant viaduc et Usson-en-Forez (42). Dans la remorque de l’autorail, les voix et les rires des passagers se détachent sur la “musique” du train, souvenir inoubliable des voyages de mon enfance.

These recordings have been done when I travelled on the X 2807 “autorail” of the Haut-Forez Railway on July 30th, 2019. The CFHF association runs trains on the remaining part of the Bonson to Sembadel line, that used to connect Saint-Etienne to Haute-Loire department, on the way to la Chaise-Dieu and Ambert, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. This difficult moutain line runs through stunning landscapes. I recorded the first track in the conductor’s cabin between Craponne-sur-Arzon and Sembadel (Haute-Loire). The typical hubbub of the 825 hp MGO engine can be heard, as the hooter often rings, warning from many level-crossings. I thank the volunteers of the association who allowed me to record in these exceptional conditions. The second track was taken during return between Pontempeyrat, where the line crosses Ance river on an impressive viaduct, and Usson-en-Forez (Loire). In the trailer, voices and laughs of the passengers blend with the train’s “music”, unforgettable memory of my childhood journeys.

This is the fifth in the series of field recordings albums from the field recordist and sound artist Toni Dimitrov dedicated to a city. After the field recordings from Athens (released on Green Field Recordings), Milan and Ioannina (released on Auriculab), and Belgrade (released on Silber Records), this time the sketches are recorded in Bucharest during his stay in Romania for field recordings residency in the Danube delta, in the summer of 2019. In the piece you can hear the recordings from the Bucharest streets, parks, the noise from the rain, fountains, etc., interweaving subtly, blurring the line between field recording and sound art.

“Random Gestures”

Random Gestures is an exploration of organic and spacial textures emerging from controlled and uncontrolled (random) processes. Soundscapes are «carved» out of landscapes of field recordings and sonic textures, with asynchronus parts and overdubs that creates micro melodies and unexpected bits. Improvisation with piano and acoustic guitar.

Tracks were recorded in 2019 using tape and tape loops on Tascam 414 mkII and Marantz pmd221, OP-1, Organelle, VCV Rack, Ableton and Max For Live, Avalanche Run, guitar, piano (Labs and Lekko) and field recordings.

The album is mastered by myself at a very basic level, so please listen on a good stereo or on decent headphones.

Thanks for listening !
