In regards to these albums, the time span covered is around 12 years of production alongside the pieces for the CD, several of which were revised during 2016. Although the new ones were completed in 2015, they form part of a collection of works in course, so I understand them as related.
“Fluctuaciones 3: Live Electronics“, contains just the material that belongs in this very distinct genre, and includes 3 live improvisations (2009, 2011 and 2014). Although at first listening the materials are clearly close to the sonorities of acousmatic works in general, the treatment, especially their articulation over time, is of a different nature, due to the necessity and challenge involved in reproducing, generating and processing sound materials in real time.
The three pieces were created with laptop and synthesizers. I also consider these works to be of some value, although largely as a historical attraction in my career and they are intended to record the interest I have for this technique and aesthetics.

1. Skegness Lagoon Walk: Wind, Seascape and Improvisation
On August 2nd 2016, at around 6:10pm, while on holiday in Skegness, a live location performance soundwork was created at the Lagoon Walk location.
2. Gibraltar Point: Wind, Seascape and Improvisation
On August 4th 2016 a live location performance was created on the shoreline at Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve at about 9:30am featuring a short walk from the vegetated dune area by the beach to the tidal edge and back to the edge of the dunes.
3. Gibraltar Point Car Park Windscape (vignette)
Recorded in our car on the 4th August 2016 in the Gibraltar Point Visitor’s Car Park shortly before our return home to Nottingham. I discovered by accident that when the driver’s side car door was just ajar a strong wind noise was heard. It was ‘blowing a gale’ at the time. As I had my full binaural recording rig at hand it was too good an opportunity to miss!

Noise suite recorded for the MAV Records Festival (15th October, Marghera, Venice)

Planemo tracklist:
– Spazioporto fuori città
– Planemo
– Sabbia di Marte
Henry Koek – woodwinds, drums, voice, objects
Arnold Cabott – guitar, voice, objects
André Darius – electric upright bass, objects
In “Hypnotique”, the vast landscapes we were used to, here enlarge their borders, thanx to the artist’s skill in depicting sonic panoramas with his guitar, effects and looping.
In these five long tracks you will experience relaxed arpeggios and harmonies chasing eachother through textures of guitar pads that dilate our senses. And more, reversed phrases, roaring distant low-pitched notes as rumbling distant thunders, powerful reverbed and distorted riffs and chords.
There’s much stuff in this five steps that are simply titled I, II, III, IV, V, a magic digit sequence of a time-warped pendulum…
So sit back in your favorite armchair in front of a sunset, raise the volume, or take your full range headphones, click “play” and listen loud, relax, take a deep breath and count slowly from one to five and soon you’ll be…

There’s no music here. Music has been outdated. This release is a Monument to The Noise.
It’s the hundredth and simultaneously the first release of MAV Records.
We adopted the dead drop method, ideated by Aram Bartholl and consisting of the installation of USB devices in public spaces. Anyone can use our dead drops for sharing, uploading or modifing audio files.
Pfff! flows and evolves through different realities, dis/integrating into the environment, getting vaporized.

Pfff! Monumento al Rumore
Non c’è nessuna musica qua. La musica è stata superata. Questa pubblicazione costituisce un Monumento al Rumore.

Chiunque può usare i nostri dead drop per scaricare, caricare o modificare file audio.
Pfff fluisce e si evolve nelle varie realtà, dis/integrandosi nell’ambiente, vaporizzandosi.
