This very enjoyable and original release has been produced at the end of a two-day workshop and live show. It is the result of the fertile confluences of Futureplaces, a digital media festival focused on the themes of technology and creativity. The workshop was run with help from the MediaLab Prado and took place at the CCStop, a disused shopping center transformed in a musical community. Throughout this period several sound artists, videomakers and manipulators of different kinds alternated, in a multitude of musical languages. The final performance, the closing act of the festival, explored the idea that mass media are becoming even more crucial when fed by a contextual creativity. The selection available on the CD offers a realistic overview of the participations, although the original audio material has been significantly enriched. Aurelio Cianciotta
