An octopus in the bathtub

“Lucky 13”

an octopus in the bathtub is the solo project of Ricardo Ramos (member of Dirty Coltrane / The Dirty Coal Train, Tiger Picnic, Puny, Cloudland, and much more…).

After the debut in 2000 with volumes 1 and 2 of 4 track demos where the first improvisations were compiled he released multiple EPs and Albums inside the spectrum of experimental improvised music, noise and contemporary composition.

“Lucky 13” compiles 3 tracks starting with the title track: 13 minutes of double guitar and drums with interpolated tribal rhythms and dissonant chords. The 2nd track “fisga” has a bass drum pattern leading the way while a bowed inverted guitar creates ambients that are punctuated with short drones. The last composition “dead punks” has a trumpet and ambiental guitar singing 2 different songs over a hyper-reverbed percussion.

PIRATE Tapes

“A Live Au Sanctuaire”

The Necrophile Hummingbird presents “A Live Au Sanctuaire” by PIRATE Tapes. Last of 2 concerts recorded before and after the first lockdown. A way to show how the spontaneous music that we call “improvisation” is slightly closer of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s intuitive music than of the jazz improvisation. Indeed it’s mostly a live session as we use to do when we record one of our album before split it in several parts and title them as tracks… but with public.
Merely nothing prepared, we plug and play that’s all : total improvisation.

STRöHM combine experimental music (avant-garde ambient drone) with free improvisation and create imaginative sound structures from it. Novel sounds, rhythmically underlaid, expressive, dynamic, then again impulsive with romantic elements, are the musical result of the mutual interplay.

Jorge Cabieses-Valdes – Poemas de Porcelana
[pn188]

Jorge Cabieses-Valdes

“Poemas de Porcelana”

“Poemas de Porcelana” (“Porcelain Poems”) is the title of the album that brings together a selection of two performances realized within the context of the exhibition “De las Prácticas Cotidianas de Oposición” (“From Daily Practices of Opposition”) by Jorge Cabieses-Valdés in the D21 Art Projects (2020). In an individual exhibition the artist presented the works “Porcelanatron IV & V”, musical instruments constructed from pieces of glazed stoneware ceramics. Inspired by the acoustic potential that every piece of ceramic possesses, the instruments emit a sharp and crystalline sound that comes from the hollowness and hardness of their ceramic material.

For “Porcelanatron IV & V” the artist’s work is based on 14 vases from the Lota Ceramic Factory belonging to the Pedro Montes collection, typical of the domestic and ornamental environment. The ceramic pieces made by the artist try to imitate the appearance of these vases, failing irretrievably and presenting themselves in total deformation, thus forcing their rigid surfaces to vibrate and sing grotesquely.

This is not the first time that the artist has worked with the traditional ceramics of Lota. In 2018 he manipulated figures belonging to the collection of the Museum of Decorative Arts (Orfeón, Lota) where each figure had a large-scale acoustic replica that emulated the sound percussed on the figures.

The album features the participation of the musician and producer Marcelo Peña Cortés aka MIOPEC (Tobías Alcayota, MKRNI), who plays viola and synthesizer arrangements and is also in charge of mixing and mastering the album.

[pn186]

Chango Dada

“Trimate”

Ecléctica es la entrega de Chango Dadá para Pueblo Nuevo. Dividido en tres tracks, el álbum “Trimate” navega entre aspectos afables y otros misteriosos o incluso ásperos en cierta medida. El track de apertura de carácter textural, hila los sonidos y gestos de manera cinemática, transitando entre texturas electroacústicas y motivos instrumentales de piano y clarinete entre otros. En cambio, en la segunda pista, aparecen materiales cercanos a una ‘indietronica’, donde el lenguaje se sustenta en lo tonal y teclados melódicos. El track final vuelve a los ritmos constantes a través de formas y colores cercanos a un IDM donde se superponen voces y colores a veces desde sonidos connotativos y otras desde texturas más abstractas: aquí las grabaciones de campo cumplen un rol timbrístico y a la vez de signo, especialmente las voces y el contenido semántico presentado.

Eclectic is the delivery of Chango Dadá for Pueblo Nuevo. Divided into three tracks, the album “Trimate” navigates between affable aspects and other mysterious or even rough to some extent.The opening track,with a textural nature, threads the sounds and gestures in a cinematic way, moving between electroacoustic textures and instrumental motifs of piano and clarinet among others.On the other hand, on the second track, there are materials close to an ‘indietronica’, where the language is based on the tonal and melodic keyboards. The final track returns to constant rhythms through shapes and colours close to an IDM where voices and colors are superimposed, sometimes from connotative sounds and others from more abstract textures: here the field recordings play a timbristic and sign role, especially the voices and the semantic content presented.

Elite Border – Jornada Laboral N°1

Elite Border – Jornada Laboral N°1
[pn182]

Elite Border

“Jornada Laboral N°1”

Elite Border decided not making it easy for the ones approaching this behemoth opus. A hypothetical eight-hour-working shift turned into a Julio Cortázar like sonic coven. Almost 500 minutes, to be approached in any order, from a series of listening instructions. The album (?) refers to intermingled references. There are glimpses of 1980s indie cassette underground, industrial experiences, but also from concrète and electroacoustic, “serious” music (so to speak); monologues, certain melodic atmospheres diluted to sheer abstraction: noise as raw material and aesthetic discipline (once again).

More than experimenting, there is a leaning towards discipline in our environments’ habitable chaos. A continuum marked by timelessness and an all-encompassing sonic feeling anywhere. Everywhere. Sections filled with rock vigor or oozing city folklore, replacing rural charm with factory rattling and urban atmosphere. Sheer electricity outbursts mingled with brittle notes, while strings introducing glossy melancholy shades. Since this is a proposal based on a dual concept, provided by Pedro Pablo Pedroso (Baltazár) and Pablo Enelotromundo García, it is extended by several guests, weaving an almost unrecognizable skein of instrumental voices. A passage towards ubiquity, the nerve of a present time in crisis.

Where Throbbing Gristle, Stockhausen, Ron Geesin, Merzbow, Kagel, Alain Neffe, Ground Zero current heirs, and any barrier-free sound sniper from last century onwards meet, Elite Border has found a realm between listening inevitability and the dense architecture of dreams. It takes time to face their “Jornada Laboral N°1”, but the imagery comes out startlingly alive from the experience.
