El contenido de este doble DVD-Vídeo recoge los resultados del proyecto de investigación “Reconstrucción de obras artístico-sonoras de la Vanguardia Histórica (1909-1945)”, realizado por el grupo de investigación Laboratorio de Creaciones Intermedia (LCI) del Dpto. de Escultura de la Facultad de Bellas Artes San Carlos de Valencia. En el primer DVD se pueden ver y oír las distintas obras de la exposición “Ruidos y Susurros de las Vanguardias (1909-1945)”, con esculturas sonoras, poesía fonética, radio-arte, experimentación con discos de gramófono (que antecede a los actuales Dj’s) y otras manifestaciones pioneras del llamado “Ruidismo” y “Arte Sonoro”. Quedan representados movimientos de vanguardia como el Futurismo italiano (especialmente Fortunato Depero), Constructivismo ruso, Escuela de la Bauhaus y del entorno español como fueron la Orden de Toledo (fundada por Buñuel) y el Altavoz del Frente. Este primer DVD queda completado con entrevistas a los autores de las reconstrucciones y un resumen de los conciertos realizados sobre este tema, donde en uno de ellos se rememora la Bauhauskapelle (o Bauhaus Jazz Band) que era la banda de estudiantes de la Escuela de la Bauhaus que tocaban en sus fiestas creativas pervirtiendo temas de jazz bailable de los años veinte, introduciendo elementos ruidosos como cencerros, pistolas o instrumentos fabricados por ellos, que les servía de catarsis para las diferentes tensiones que se producían entre profesores y alumnos.
Finalmente, el segundo DVD recoge en archivos pdf y mp3, las diferentes publicaciones derivadas de este proyecto y que actualmente están agotadas, como el catálogo y doble-cd “Ruidos y Susurros de las Vanguardias” (Allegro Records, 2004), que ya se distribuyó en su día por Diskpol y que tanto para los que lo tienen, como los que no, es ampliado con nuevos textos y documentos sonoros y visuales, que completan este proyecto caleidoscópico sobre las múltiples aportaciones que plantearon la vanguardia histórica de la primera mitad del siglo XX dentro de la experimentación sonora y musical.

Sleppet originated from a sound art project in 2007, when six renowned artists — Natasha Barrett, Bjarne Kvinnsland, Steve Roden, Chris Watson, Jana Winderen and Marc Behrens — recorded sounds on a 10-day trip through the Norwegian Westlandet region and used the nature experience for a couple of sound installations and music pieces.
Sleppet leads back to Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, for whom contemplation of nature and its influence on the artistic creation had high significance.
Sleppet deals with the energy and the transformation processes of the early springtime.
In the frame of the composition, realized exclusively with concrete sound material, Behrens created several parentheses: the first part starts with an unaltered field recording of a clamouring flock of seagulls as exposition, from which this part is further developed. The final part ends with an equally unaltered recording of a springlike forest patch with various songbirds, a few kilometers up the hill in the fjord valley — in which seagulls can be discerned in the distance. Bird song can be heard at other points within the piece, as by-products of recording other sounds, as sound windows into spring.
The second parenthesis consists of the sonic intensity of drones used in the first and the last part — in the first part sounding like a string group alongside acute cymbals, in the last part sounding purely electronic, but always displaying a certain sonority. Such nearly tonal quality does not exist in the middle parts of the piece. Instead of that, the third, rather noisy parenthesis depicts movements of tilting, slipping off and falling, as culminations within the internal structure: a rubble avalanche (the loudest one in a sequence in part 2), and a collapsing part of a glacier (which closely missed Behrens when he recorded melt water drops), after or framed by audible melting.
Acoustic utterances of animal impatience, which belong to nordic spring like the melting of snow and ice, bring forward the composition: besides the clamour of seagulls there is the noise of impatient cattle, still chained inside their stable. The atmosphere of a sheep shed in the final part picks up the theme again, but is almost completely warped by noises from a hydroelectric powerplant and a ferry.
Phases of contraction (loud, dense) and expansion (quieter, sometimes permeable) define the structures of parts 4 and 5. The first three parts show a somewhat more consistent sound impression. At many points in parts 1–4, figure/ground and foreground/background relations are fathomed out.
The great movements throughout the course of the 41-minute piece put focus onto the rendering conscious of accumulating and discharging energies.

Limited edition of 500 copies in a digisleeve. The first ever collaboration between prolific american composer Tomas Phillips and prominent italian newcomer Luigi Turra, “Vignettes Amplifie” presents a sequence of subtle sound constructions characterized by minimalistic and contemplative approach. Quiet field recordings, soft acoustic sounds and organic electronic arrangements builds panoramic view on two levels. The acoustic gestures like bells, manipulated objects and drone fragments are coming from silence and disappearing after some time. On the other hand, there is a kind of reflection of these sonic events in the background, muted and abstracted, hiding from your ears. But these microscopic sounds, short and forgetful, seems to be the main part of the whole thing – when you are trying to trace them down, to catch your attention, and to understand the aesthetical value of this music. Shy and confused, these sounds represents the soul of this music, but in fact they are just grow and fade away like the autumn rain. This album will teach you how to turn your mind into ears, hunting for every little susurration in total silence.

I dream of dead poets and supermodels, fancy software and scenic drives, Paris or Los Angeles on a late night flight, maybe a PowerBook in a Louis Vuitton bag with a picture of you on the seventeen inches wide screen, I dream of glossy drones and dark eyeliners, long legs and bright sounds, fake breasts and uptight asses, I feel like the speed of your heart when you’re so full of grace, I feel like the light in your smile, the slip of the tongue, I float an inch from the sky to the point of you, I’m out of my eyes with a ballad, washing with kindly tears, I cherish the acoustics of your invisible caress, I undress you in poetry, I read your body, soul of doll, I taste your body of sound with the acoustic memory of love, your flesh in stereo, drunken with loud cells on the rocks, resonance of an old soul with metasynth delay, oh you’re so cute when you loop my heart, you are a beautiful loop in my heart, a phantom voice in high heels, you you so you, baby blue eyes drinking champagne underwater, kissing my heart shaped ears, you look beautiful when you dream, you are all the night gave me in return, you whisper in sweetness the distant melody of the stars, suggesting but truth to my divining, I’m just this superficial guy though, plain and superficial, like your skin when you striptease me, when you fuck me like a virgin, I’m a dirty romantic, too sexy for myself, more a loner than a wolf, more a bleeder than a bruiser, night cruiser with a faded touch of love, chasing in dreams the heart of it all, in dreams, in dreams, like when we walk together, hand in hand, like two strangers, and then your pony tail, pink pony, the ten thousand ponies of your pyjama running every night after me, and then the sound, the almighty sound, the greatest sound of all, the sound of you

After the successful second album, PYLAR collective returns with a new release: La Gran Obra. This cassette is limited to 113 copies (a number that touches upon the threshold of madness) and is inspired by Alchemy . In the same way as the alchemical process, La Gran Obra is divided into three parts: Nigredo, Albedo and Rubedo. Throughout this piece, the enigmatic heresiarchs manage to manipulate the lost language of colour and the complex esoteric symbolism of ancient science, dropping clues to the follower and allowing them to walk down the path of the ineffable. The second side, Speculum (ArboNargAl), is a perfect mirror image of the first. In a sense, an infinite loop has been created between the two sides with the purpose of bending time and entering a level of existence where our subconscious memories live.
PYLAR has once more presented us with a veil which we can choose to lift in search of the key to uncover the last of their holy mission.
Tras el éxito de su segundo disco, el colectivo PYLAR vuelve con un nuevo lanzamiento: La Gran Obra. Este artefacto en formato cassette y limitado a 113 copias (número que abre un umbral hacia la demencia) está inspirado en la Alquimia y compuesto de dos temas, La Gran Obra y Speculum. Al igual que el proceso alquímico, La Gran Obra está dividida en 3 partes: Nigredo, Albedo y Rubedo, en las que los heresiarcas del enigmático colectivo manejan el lenguaje olvidado de los colores y el complejo simbolismo esotérico de la más antigua de las ciencias, dejando pistas a lo largo del proceso para que el adepto transite la vía que le llevará ante lo inenarrable. El segundo tema, Speculum (ArboNargAl), es un reflejo perfecto, especular e invertido, del primero. De esta forma se crea un bucle infinito entre dos caras con el objetivo de curvar el tiempo y acceder al plano de la existencia donde se encuentra la memoria inconsciente, aquella que nos revelará los misterios más profundos de nuestro ser. PYLAR vuelven a situarnos ante un velo que debemos decidir si alzar o no en busca de las claves para desvelar el fin último de su sagrada misión.
