[FbL010] various artists - brave new world



Download (.zip)


FeedbackLoop Label proudly presents Brave New World its second compilation. Twenty one very talented artists accepted the challenge to compose a music based on two poems I've written about my  fascination for cities, and twenty pictures Jessica Aliaga Lavrijsen chose to illustrate the poems. The result is a two hour collection of Poetic Urban Landscapes that span from magical moments one can find if enjoying the moods of the city, into verbal expressions and different everyday life situations.

[FbL003] adam williams & leonardo rosado - take this longing



Attracted to subtle and minimal arrangements, they develop the most interesting musical dialogue on their joint ep "Take This Longing". While Williams usually holds the talk with cautious notes and chords, Rosado illustrates these fine contours with his discrete electronic sounds and field recordings. Both respond to one another, closely observing every musical move to be ready for the next answers and the right questions.

"Take This Longing" invites you to spy this dialogue. And you consequently take part in it - as listening is part of the art of communicating.

[xs-63] subterminal - filled with light

With eyes wide open.
Like in a reawakening. A strange awake that repeats itself every night; every passing day, or so it seems. Like a virtual experience; or maybe not. Maybe it is just a normal but scary awakening. ... "Filled With Light".

"Filled With Light" awakens us in two different ways. The first, because it is only an EP which is part of an album yet to be released; the second, because in that album, poetry, a core element always present in Subterminal's work, makes an eulogy to digital life. "Filled With Light" is like a trailer of a full movie that we anticipate; a summary with a beginning middle and end. For now, the awakening is what matters most and "Filled With Light" awakes; awakes us.

In that slow awake, "With You" introduces us to the theme, to the electronic principle that conducts the EP. However, "Filled With Light" is the track that captures our attention; because of the movement; the layers of sound; the excellent alto viola played by Tiago Morgado. There is a slight techno-industrial mood coloring Leonardo Rosado's words, the man behind Subterminal. At last, "For the First Time" definitely introduces us to what's coming. A confrontation with a different reality; or, an almost-reality. "For the First Time" introduces us to a confrontation between poetry and technology, created by dense sound ambiences, images, differing in rhythm and form. They are different lines of the same life; parallel or perpendicular. The exhaustion of conflict.

"Filled With Light" was composed and played almost entirely with an iPhone, with some extra sounds from other objects. After "Alumina" and "Insight", released in 2009, the reawakening of Subterminal is of happiness. "Filled With Light" is a great step forward when comparing with prior releases, which leads to the expectation of a very interesting conceptual album. Coupled with the refinement of his personal electronic universe, the author added a better voice treatment. The production of the EP was made by Tiago Morgado.

... to keep the eyes wide open.

The premise of the album Insight comes from a possible definition of INSIGHT - An insight is the derivation of a rule which links cause with effect. The mind is a model of the universe built up from insights. - Based on this, Insight was composed using a random process of forward expansion of musical structures, establishing an equilibrium state and jumping to new territory, a different direction than the previous one, leading to insights on different musical styles. It starts with an approach to ambiance, changes to nujazz structures, continues the journey through contemporary music (with the help of Tiago Morgado playing Alto Viola in Track 3) and finishes with an approach to trip hop. The message delivered by the album, the explosion of communication technologies and their reflection on the way we interact with each other, the insights allowed by science and its contradictions.

Suterminal is the expression of one person with its main focus on exploring the collision between soundscapes and poetry, using automatic expression based on science - WORDSOUNDSCAPES. The automata is used on the construction of words/poems and sounds/music that jointly deliver messages to the society towards activities of REFLECTION. Words and sounds have different meanings, depending on its listener, but only if he/she takes sometime to dwelve in the complexity of him/herself stimulated.
