Anto Molina @ temple chptr. 2 - 17/2/2024

@blovk explains:

"For this Temple edition, I wanted to propose a live performance where there wasn't a clear conductor or musical idea beyond the physical experimentation of sound. An amalgamation of different sources and processes to maximize the potential of the sound equipment. Since I know the venue, I pre-designed sounds both on the modular synth and with field recordings and other digital synths, which I knew could sound exactly how I wanted, and from there experiment, test, play, and twist while feeling comfortable and connected with the moment."

“I felt very comfortable playing at Temple. Sound was amazing, and it felt very intimate. I improvised a little bit, and played things that I had never played live before. I try to make every performance better than the last one, or at least different. It’s always exciting and challenging, and I think this time was very good.“

"In the summer heat, a refreshing escape awaits. Icy winds and swirling blizzards envelop us in cold, revealing serene drones and a tranquil, snowy landscape with a still lake under a vast, white expanse. Abstract rhythms and distant voices weave through, culminating in delicate frequencies that leave us in a peaceful, frosty reverie."

For the past 20 years, Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo, known by his moniker STBL (@stable-mechanism), has been developing his work in the realms of electronic music and sound art. With beginnings deeply rooted in the most elusive and daring music, he has strived to maintain a stylistic coherence, oscillating between distinctly minimalist approaches and more "musical" ones, always balancing sobriety and rhetoric.

Author's note: My proposal for Temple clearly reflects all the paths I have been exploring in recent years, utilising field recordings, generative synthesis, and more classical ambient patterns. As is customary, each live performance by STBL is ephemeral and unique to each occasion, making this recording a snapshot of the present and a memory of my appearance at the marvellous Espacio Perpendicular.

#temple_for_listeners is an event dedicated to attentive listening and static dance, curated by Camu and Josephine's Soundscapes for Espacio Perpendicular.

En la última edición de LEVMatadero, HORMA (nuevo alias de Sole Parody) estrenó su proyecto “Matadero”, en el que ejecuta un paisaje sonoro que va del noise-techno al ambient disolviendo los límites entre live y dj set. HORMA utiliza ambientes modificados a partir de las grabaciones de campo y  entrevistas que el colectivo Sound Readers realizó a los trabajadores del Centro Cultural Matadero, y los combina con tracks de techno y paisajes de sintetizadores. Además convierte su imagen en el imput de la propuesta visual y lumínica que el artista Azael Ferrer genera en tiempo real. Con herramientas de inteligencia artificial, sensor de movimiento y cámara de vídeo, cuerpo, luz, vídeo y sonido se retroalimentan continuamente en múltiples direcciones, generando un discurso asociativo/disociativo de lo que se ve en escena.

El Proyecto contó con el apoyo del Centro de residencias artísticas de Matadero Madrid tras ser seleccionada en 2023 en la II Convocatoria para proyectos de música electrónica experimental de Madrid.

In the last edition of LEVMatadero, HORMA (Sole Parody's new alias) premiered his project ‘Matadero’, in which he performs a soundscape that goes from noise-techno to ambient, dissolving the limits between live and dj set. She uses modified atmospheres from field recordings and interviews that the Sound Readers collective conducted with workers at the Matadero Cultural Centre, and combines them with techno tracks and synthesizer landscapes. He also converts his image into the imput of the visual and light proposal that the artist Azael Ferrer generates in real time. With artificial intelligence tools, motion sensor and video camera, body, light, video and sound are continuously fed back in multiple directions, generating an associative/dissociative discourse of what is seen on stage.

The project was supported by Matadero Madrid's Centro de residencias artísticas after being selected in 2023 in the II Call for experimental electronic music projects in Madrid).

Perila [live] @ Lost Music Festival 2024

A rare club mix from the ever-evolving artist, with 90 minutes of shadowy, atmospheric pressure.

Music's therapeutic value is often linked to relaxation—gongs, singing bowls and the like. Dense passages of foggy droning and eerie static aren't traditionally considered restorative, but Laurel Halo makes a pretty good case for it.

The Detroit-born, Los Angeles-based musician's abstract, often improvised productions are heavy on sound design and emotional climax. Driven by atmosphere rather than rhythm, they push listeners to grapple with their innermost insecurities, fears and dreams. "I'm lucky my music has helped people through crises," Halo once told Discwoman. It's easy to see why.

Since her 2010 debut King Felix, Halo has built a stunningly diverse catalogue of classically-informed records. A multi-instrumentalist—piano, violin, guitar, keys—her sharpest instrument is arrangement. Inspired by the surrealism of Italo Calvino and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, her releases, from Atlas to Behind The Green Door, unfold with slow-burning narrative and dense emotional weight. Her soundworlds are layered and labyrinthine—an architectonic space where self-reflection happens almost by force.

Even in the club, the sought-after composer excels in immersion. Her sets extend the expressionist palette of her records, trading traditional rhythm for tension, space and surprise. It’s no wonder she takes a genre-agnostic approach to the dance floor—her deep roots in freeform radio began at WCBN-FM in Michigan, followed by Berlin Community Radio, Rinse FM, and now a regular show on NTS.

RA.992 stitches foggy ambient loops, propulsive techno, mutant percussion and heady left turns with care. Tracks from DJ Rush, Octave One and Eddie Fowlkes nod to her Midwestern heritage, balanced out by deeper, psychedelic fare from the likes of Polygonia and Cousin. It's the mark of an artist revealing both deep curiosity and a precise hand as a selector. Rare, indeed.
