IHab014. SON CLAIR - Watermarks

‘Watermarks’ explores in sound the mile-long stretch of coastline from Hastings to St. Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, England. Recorded over a 2 month period, the man-made sounds of life and motion along the sea-front (including a celebratory parade along the waterfront, a fireworks display on the beach, a marching band and a wedding) are bookended with the constant, natural sound of the sea.

Impulsive Habitat - Nova netlabel

A Impulsive Habitat é uma nova netlabel ligada à Test Tube que ambiciona lançar trabalhos dentro daquilo que se pode chamar de field recordings e derivações do género.

O trabalho de David Vélez e Juan José Calarco, juntamente com Pedro Leitão da Test Tube originou a Impulsive Habitat que já tem disponível um disco de Joaquín Gutiérrez Hadid, "Vending Machines".

After several months of hard work we are proud and enthusiast to officially unwrap Impulsive Habitat - a division of test tube netlabel - a publishing project label conceived with the purpose of publishing field recording-based sound works. We also encourage multidisciplinary projects that link sound projects with visuals and video work.

Impulsive label is a project originated by David Vélez and Juan José Calarco both sound artists who joined forces with test tube netlabel manager Pedro Leitâo to finally come up with Impulsive Habitat.

For our first release we have the fortune to publish 'Vending machine', the first official release of Joaquín Gutiérrez Hadid, a promising young artist from Argentina whose sound and visual work is noteworthy. 'Vending machine' is a very powerful piece of work that very likely will mark the beginning of an extensive series of releases by Joaquín around the world.

For our second release (available pretty soon) we will have the honor to publish 'The alarming blend of three arches' by Dallas Simpson, an emblematic figure on the world of sound art and field recordings who has been working with binaural sounds for more than a decade.

Make yourself part of our project in any way you want.
