Sean is an accomplished musician and filmmaker (http://encyclopediapictura.com), having recently released 'Some Sort of Wave Portal' on Leaving Records as Cool Maritime. He is as warm as the California sun.

Much of the featured music is from Sean's 2012 self-released 'Tea Time Travel'.

Guanaba

After two more years of under-the-radar investigations in the pataphysical lip, the result has pretty much the shape of a coalescing quirky archipelago inhabited by undiscovered life forms with different degrees of reality, linguistic configurations and ontological statuses. EE3 is a suggestive succession of strangely assembled pieces of micromondo miscellanea as small bizarre objects and surreal items right for Artetetra’s continuously metastasizing outré wunderkammer. 

A showcase of heterogeneous materials that cover an entire imaginal ecosystem going from the grotesque to the hazy, to the hypnagogic and absurd til the utterly whimsical; often resulting in non-linear audio experiences with humoristic and paradoxical outcomes. Abstract exotica, amphibian footwork, compositional audio-jokes, brutal counterpoint metal, aquatic sci-fi shredding, steel-cold cognitive fado, glossolalia madrigals, metaphysical hip-hop, sunitty conglomerations, abrasive warfare cartoon OSTs. All and all, let’s just call it Quinto Mondo. 

But let's get down to the nitty-gritty:
