McGuffin Electric : Brightelephant [AT038]

Brightelephant is a collection of sinking, memories, human bodies, battleships and battlekisses. And elephants, of course. Each of the 7 pieces in it is as abstract as it is concrete. Old-fashioned sounds for modern, turmoil, times. Halting, skeletal and serious-less chamber music for irrational listeners.”

Sergi Boal : Cercle [AT036]

Cercle is my most spiritual project. The most introspective. In this little EP the music flows, the themes don’t have any concrete structure, and maybe this gives the sensation of a visual dream, the sensation that you are floating, and you could create images, thoughts, sensations…. Not having a concrete structure, there’s no beginning, no end; it’s like a circle!

All the songs were recorded in one or two takes. Only with a nylon guitar.
The music was almost improvised, except the theme ‘Nils’ that was a rework of the pianist Nils Frahm, from one song of his album Screws, trying to ‘move’ the sounds of his personal piano, to the guitar..
I recorded this EP with Hector Xiqués ( I/O Estudi de Gravació, Barcelona), and we tried to give that especial sound of the guitar, with some delays, and reverbs.

This is a joint release with Alchemistica netlabel.”

Old Splendifolia : Utterly Heartbreaking [LBN017]

“During live sessions in the summer house, the woods of Brandenburg and the homes of friendly musicians delicate pieces evolved, capturing random environmental noises and exceptional interaction of the artists. The chamber music-ish pieces flow moment to moment painting scenes with tones.
‘The Song Poems seek their fortune through poetic views of the world, leap to the Earth’s perishable inhabitants defense, for whom the consistent rational explanations for a world so compelling in its richness, in its confusion, in its complexities impregnable from comprehension give little satisfaction.
So, let’s cast light on the many small details, sense-nourishing observations, confusion, the fear that tears me, which overwhelmed you as well, and on the comfort that She granted you, so you now could come to my aid. Enter with the ears and not only with the latter, into the micro-extracts from rich litera- and orature, elocuted by the inner desire to keep the amazement and the breath of life, to light the inner warmth, which beards the global one, with filigree vehemence. Yes.'”

Sergi Boal : Nylon and Turtle [AT027]

Nylon and Turtle was recorded after that, while he was watching jazz pianist Brad Mehldau , Sergi Boal, guitarrist and composer, had a revelation: the necessity to create his own music. This necessity led him few months later to record this CD. There are 9 songs, most of them recorded in one or two takes, so it’s almost a live recording. It is an organic and intimate album, in which the guitarist tries to make a little travel. As in Ice Voice, where it can be appreciated the Nordic influences of Jose Gonzalez, or Yorke, where we can hear echoes of Radiohead. Fukushima is a tribute to the victims of the tsunami in Japan, in where it mixes anger and calm; The incident of the Bell features great tecnique and sounds with a mixture of pop and grunge music, all with the same nylon guitar. In Frontera, the flamenco sounds in his fingers, and take us to Orecchio di Dioniso, and then we get carried away through the last song of the album, “Is anybody out there?”, a composition that borrows the title from Pink Floyd, ending with a question. This album is the starting point of this guitarrist of Barcelona, who decided one day to make his own music with the guitar. Sit back and listen … is anybody out there?”

Yosoyunotrotu : Supranaturalis [AUDCST066]

Yosoyunotrotu‘s new effort is a collaboration of three artists: Quetzal Contla (Mexico) & Krzysztof Polaczenko (Poland) & Manuel Escamilla (Mexico). This time project was inspired by the supernatural, strange activities of world and human. Again music was made by showing no boundaries. Every track is a story with different mood and genere.
