A principios 2007 el escritor y artista multimedia Kenji Siratori solicitó colaboraciones con diferentes músicos de todo el mundo, entre ellos a Juan Antonio Nieto (Pangea). Se trataba de que dichos músicos usaran sus palabras y su voz para que, transformándola, se convirtiera en un instrumento más en la composición.


Cuando recibí los 6 ficheros con su voz me pareció que era lo suficientemente intensa para usarla sin apenas modificaciones. En “Vital error” la música, la voz y la palabra se complementan sin anularse entre si, el ambiente general creado en este álbum es denso, oscuro e inquietante. La particular entonación del idioma japonés ofrece un punto adicional de belleza y misterio.


XS Records [Portuguese Netlabel] es un sello ubicado en Braga y dirigido por el músico Tiago Morgado (Necrostilet, uncle bart comes to have breakfast), creado a principios de 2008 par promocionar la música de su cabeza visible y crear un circuito de creación, promoción y distribución de música gratuita en la red con el apoyo de Creative Commons.


In the begining 2007 the writer and multimedia artist Kenji Siratori requested collaborations with different musicians from around the world, including Pangea (Juan Antonio Nieto). Was about that these musicians use his words and his voice to, processed, become an instrument in the composition.


When I received the 6 files, I thought his voice was intense enough to use with little modification. In "Vital error" music, voice and words complement each other without annulled, the general atmosphere created in this album is dense, dark and disturbing. The particular intonation Japanese language offers an additional point of beauty and mystery.

Diecinueve intervenciones (un extraño número, magnético, ni redondo ni cuadrado) agrupadas en dos intensos flujos de circulación sonora integran este segundo disco recopilatorio de Ruidemos. Se trata de una recolección de piezas de extrema expresividad, inéditas, de autores latinoamericanos, europeos y asiáticos que revuelven una amplísima paleta de ruidos y una dinámica gama de intensidades. Por las esquinas percibimos finura y misterio desperezados por alarmentes zumbidos y sabroso polvo estruendoso, rigidez sonora arrollando expectantes letargos, emanaciones tronando cambios de tonalidades y visos, densas rugosidades, solides, consistencia, tensión y deshaogo, coladas digitales y atractivas antítesis, de la dulzura a la agresividad, de la ligereza a la matraca, de la actividad al suspense. Músicas atrevidas, inquietas, crecientes, de grandes alas, directas, resolutivas, frescas y exploradoras, nos impactan marcando presencia y agarrando sin tregua hasta nuestra vellosidad más interna.

We release what we like, and mostly that means music labeled as ambient, avantgarde, electroacoustic, industrial, dark ambient, and similar sub-genres, but we are open minded to other musically expressions.
The track Mil Pulsos composed by Leo Alvés and Pangea is mixed in this monographic.
For this Monographic episode, Marcos Bernabe, curator of tecnonucleo.org has composed a colourful amalgam of the most diverse sounds. Maybe this wide conception comes form the also worldwide collaborator staff coming from Spain, Norway, Israel, Russia, Lithuania, Mexico, Sweden, Austria or Germany for example.

"The three tracks includes in Combustion chamber are a dark and granulated improvised wall of sounds, plenty of submerge elements that give an emotional feel to the album, I use field recordings of underwater sounds, hard winds, death TV and radio channels… playing it as I use to do in my live acts, searching a natural mix between brain and heart"

"When you see an aging building or a rusted bridge, you are seeing nature and man working together. If you paint over a building, there is no more magic to that building. But if it is allowed to age, then man has built it and nature has added to it -- it's so organic. " David Lynch

http://www.lafundicio.net/

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/releases/tube114.htm
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
