“Poststop” reviewed by Neural

Poststop
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

New podcast: Jazznoize


Live at Sala Plutón (Valencia, Spain), March 24, 2012. Field recordings collected and processed in 2011 and early 2012 in the cities of Valencia and Murcia, in places where the environment of urban centers is subjected to the production relations of our times.

Territory: woods, dry land, coast. Social relations: popular culture in danger of extinction, cults of death, structural crisis, social struggle, rituals and traditional holidays. These were the sound sources starring in this performance.

Beyond the descriptive and the exposure of many seemingly unrelated facts, the purpose of the performance was to show the communication links of our sound history, limited to the environment and social practice, to enjoy listening to it from other angles.
