Coàgul – La Forja Centrípeta Label: Burka For Everybody – 30 Format: Vinyl, LP Country: Spain Released: 31 Aug 2015 Style: Industrial, Drone, Neofolk
“La Forja Centrípeta” is a sonic support by which the listener can “forge” his or her spirit, going from the outside into the inside. It consists of five sonic spells, conceived and composed by Marc O’Callaghan in Easter 2014 between Barcelona and Picanya. The first four ones, which are contained in the fisrt side of the record, equeal to the four ages of mankind. But more than four ages in the historical sense of the development of human kind, in this case they are concieved more like four different states of being. Four possible stadiums in which the listener can enter by meditating on each spell. It begins with the most materialistic age, the iron age (which is the age in which we live today at this moment of history, aswell as the default state of being in which a common human lives these days); and ends ate the very core with the most spiritual age, the golden age. The length of each spell is in proportion with the mathemathics of the traditional division from the Vedic doctrine of the four yugas. The last spell, which occupies the whole second side of the record, is an incarnation of the new city, which is another name for the heavenly city of the New Jerusalem that shall descend unto earth at the end of the Apocalypse. Thus when the four ages are finally consumated, we are ready to enter the holy city, where all things are each one in its very right place and distributed in absolute cosmic harmony. The twelve stanzas of this long spell equal to all that is twelve: the zodiac, the precious stones, the fruits of the tree of life, the angelic typologies, the months of a year, the prophets, et cetera. The first side of this vinyl symbollically equals to the circular shape, and the second one equals to the square shape. So all in all, “La Forja Centrípeta” is a big sonic tool that can be magickally used to achieve what the hermetists rightly called “the squaring of the circle”.
The whole five songs were performed by Marc O’Callaghan and recorded and mastered by Daniel Muerte during May 2014 at La Cova de la Bèstia, Barcelona. All artwork conceived and drawn by Marc O’Callaghan during January 2015. The inlay photo was taken by Adriana Petit in February 2015 at the Bronze Bureau, Barcelona.

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.

Collaboration album of Les Aus and Huan, both from Barcelona, recorded in January 2011 and co-released by Màgia Roja and Ozono Kids before embarking upon a West Coast tour of the USA between the 27 th of January and the 11th of February 2011.Les Aus is a duet formed in 2003 by Arnau Sala and Dalmau Boada, coming from experimental hardcore band Omega 5. Their music is an assault of frenetic rhythms, mystic incantations and folkloric music from non-existant countries which form a psychedelic whirlwind of insuperable energy.They have toured Europe and the United States extensively by themselves and in collaboration with numerous artists such as Lydia Lunch, Sheik Anorak or Eli Keszler and have released records with Gaffer Records and Simple Social Graces among others as well as with Arnau Sala’s own label: Ozono Kids.With broad international recognition Les Aus are one of the main references of Spanish underground music. 20 Jazz Funk Greats defined their music as “their music sounds as if it had been made in some secret beach with the Mediterranean Sun rising on the horizon, after the ingestion of respectable quantities of psychedelic substances: epic, propulsive and life affirming.”
Huan is the alter ego of Víctor Hurtado a multi-instrumentalist and producer and distinguished member of Barcelona’s experimental scene in which he is active with many projects. He’s also the creative mind behind psychedelic-noise band Qa’a, with whom he’s toured Europe extensively and that counts Hans Jochim Irmler, Steve Stapleton and Julian Cope among their supporters. With his primitivistic industrial project Huan he’s toured several countries with highlighted shows such as at the Contemporaneous Art Centre of Barcelona, Sónar Chicago, Terminal in Oakland or at the Ethnological Museum of Barcelona. With Huan he’s also worked on several collaborations such as touring the US as an ensemble with Les Aus and as a sporadic collaborator of Nurse With Wound with whom he played live as a guest member at Primavera Sound Festival in 2013. He’s also worked in the field of sound art having garnered the Franco G. Maffina special mention for “most original piece” in the 2011 edition of the Luigi Russolo Sound Art Competition.Since 2012 he performs with the project Jochen Arbeit & Huan together with the guitarrist of Einstürzende Neubaten/Die Haut and since 2014 with Hydra & Huan together with Catalan samplerist Adrià Bofarull.

Two multifaceted artists like MATATUS & GRASSA DATO have joined forces to create a unique album. Each of them has created a long track showing us their dark vision, destructive and chaotic from the underworld materials, opening a door into the unknown, the hidden, voices and industrial sounds that reach us from the other side of the door, under electronic dialogue analog / digital. Dense soundscapes, experimental intense enveloping, penetrating and disturbing sounds take us into a strange world.
