Todos los temas de este disco, editado por la compañía Tecnonucleo, han sido elaborados a partir de las grabaciones realizadas por los visitantes de la exposición itinerante de la Diputació de Barcelona, comisariada por David G. Torres, Intensities. Inconformisme, incorrecció i rebel-lió entre art i escena musical, a su paso por el taller propuesto por La Fundició como parte del servicio educativo. Durante el taller los visitantes a la exposición tuvieron la ocasión de distorsionar y manipular con un sencillo equipo técnico los sonidos generados durante su propia visita. El resultado de esos talleres es el material sonoro con el que exclusivamente han trabajado todos los músicos para crear sus cortes.

TRADITION

TRADITION [testtube114]
http://testtube.monocromatica.com/
All tracks composed and mixed by Juan Antonio Nieto aka Pangea.
Cover art by Sebastian Alvarez
«The collaborative nature of spanish composer Juan Antonio Nieto has taken him into different journeys. What happens when the continental drift process suffers inversion? The union of intangible terrains is becoming more clear each second. At this point, we know that language is truly unstable and absolutely turbulent. We would like to be in control and arrest this flux of events that surround us. Pangea's "Tradition" is an album humble enough to keep its language free and resonating without any familiar order. Its unexpected interventions always enter from different directions (South, North, East, and West) and keep you at the verge of a forgotten continent. A massive continent of sound once united when structures were inexistent.Pangea reminds you of those times before each of the component continents were separated into their current configuration. With astonishing sessions that go galaxies beyond free jazz improvisation, "Tradition" creates epic musical forms out of deeply explosive and gentle moments. If you allow it, these forms are capable to join disperse theories and hypothesis in the depths of your mind.»- Sebastian Alvarez

VITAL


VITAL [rdm033]
Nuevo disco de Pangea para la compañía granadina Ruidemos. "Vital es uno de los trabajos que más se ajustan a la idea original de Pangea, en el que los sonidos más duros se imponen a los drones ambientales, uno de mis favoritos". Ocho composiciones en las que, inagotablemente, aletean impulsos y drones de cambiante perfil, en espacios saturados donde apenas sí queda sitio para un alfiler. Van recorriendo por su cuenta y riesgo un gran panel de ricas frecuencias que da brillo a una paleta tímbrica estructuradora de extremada variedad y sutileza. Esporádicamente, aterciopelando las abruptas texturas y la crudeza sonora constructivista, se nos acercan cautivadoras entonaciones que agudizan el hipnotismo y avivan la ensoñación.Una aportación experimental de lo más colorista, vibrante, misteriosa y opresiva. Luz de día como chispazos en mitad de la noche. (Sarah Vacher)
All tracks mixed and composed by Juan Antonio Nieto
