"Itapoa" remezclado en el nuevo trabajo de Xedh

El nuevo trabajo de de Xedh para Zeromoon "Xedah", contiene una remezla de mi tema Itapoa, originalmente incluído en el net-ep Saint Lazaro´s street tapes, editado por Dreamland Recordings (Australia).

Puede descargarse aquí.

Xedh is Miguel A. García from Spain. From the artist's notes about this piece:
"It's somehow curious to watch in an almost unconscious way how links generate themselves, in this case between people/sounds connected by their escape from more established shapes. The hidden face of one of the most active characters of the most extreme german industrial music, a french critic-poet with the rediscovered sin of youth, and a living legend among the Iberian experimental music scene.
I really was Between them, myself and the intention of a piece which I expected to make them to engage in a dialogue and to exist here and now together: a kind of tribute to the others. But when i tried it, i had to face the impossibility of generating something real without having them transformed, internalized, absorbed, and to finally recognize myself in them too. I couldn't deny myself.
So what this piece brought up was the confrontation between differences, between the other and self, between the foreign and own, the external, the internal, outside, inside, confused to be just one. A piece about being human."

Piece composed by miguel a. garcía (mixer, mics, sines, treated sounds)

Miguel A. García (aka xedh) is one of the few artists working in the laptop domain that manages to go beyond the sterile audio terrain that many practioners of digital music tend to get lost in and never find a way out. Xedh exploits the pristine frequencies and extreme sonic range...and still ensures that his music has some muscle and perhaps a bit of humor. In his new mp3 ep for zeromoon he uses sounds from a few artists (simon daniel, thierry massard, & rafael flores) and throws in some of his own using a mixer, mics, sine waves, and treated sounds. In his own words: "It's somehow curious to watch in an almost unconscious way how links generate themselves, in this case between people/sounds connected by their escape from more established shapes. The hidden face of one of the most active characters of the most extreme german industrial music, a french critic-poet with the rediscovered sin of youth, and a living legend among the Iberian experimental music scene.

I couldn't deny myself.

Son of Bronson me ponen fino

En una estrevista, sin desperdicio, en Putearte.com los geniales Son of Bronson, dicen estas cosilllas de mi:

T- De colaboraciones, hay una en perspectiva, que son unas remezclas para Rafael Flores, que es un personaje mítico de la música experimental en España, que después de unos años desaparecido en combate, ha vuelto con unas ganas tremendas, está hiperactivo, y nos hincha de orgullo que le haya gustado lo que hacemos y habrá unas remezclas pronto de Rafael Flores, a partir de canciones de Comando Bruno, su proyecto.

JB- A mi particularmente me llenó de una grandísima alegría, y lo digo sin ningún tipo de ironía, saber que Rafael Flores estaba en activo, que nos había escuchado, y que le había gustado, habiendo escuchado cosas de él de los años 80, que me parecen extraordinarias, de lo mejor que se ha hecho en música experimental en España pero desde siempre.

Gracias Jesús y Tonete, la admiración es reciproca.

Kongres Futurologiczny bootleg

Kongres Futurologiczny mi cdr para el sello italiano Seven Sermones ad Mortuos se puede bajar en mp3 desde Kazeban.biz por 1 dolar. Excuso decir que sin mi consentimiento.
La web asegura que se trata de "legal downloads".
Para mi que los comentarios también son falsos.
