For its third release, forms of minutiae presents ‘possible moistures’ a non-profit compilation of field recordings and soundscape compositions derived from various aqueous environments and their autochthons. 

This gathering is made of 16 sonic encounters collected by field recordists and sound artists across the world. Artists were invited to submit sounds from marine and aquatic-related events, phenomena, geologies, fauna, flora, geographies, and technologies. From the thawing acoustics of Icelandic and Antarctic glaciers to the non-human voices of Australian wetlands, while meeting sea and river dwellers, the listeners embark on a sonic journey across the globe’s possible moistures. 

All proceeds from this release will be donated to the organisation Atelier Bleu - Centre Permanent d'Initiatives pour l'Environnement de la Côte Provençale to support them in their aim to conserve and protect Posidonia Oceanica seagrass species and to accompany ecological transitions on the Mediterranean coastal lands of the Côte Provençale (France) by encouraging eco-responsible behaviour through education, training and awareness actions. They especially work closely with the region’s youth to raise their environmental awareness by offering workshops and activities to discover the maritime and terrestrial environments: underwater snorkelling trails, guided walks, etc. 

This compilation has been made available to the Atelier Bleu as a resource which they can present to the children as part of their educational workshops.

« Percussion-Resonance » :

This new record of both minimal and experimental electronic music is a Piece that is separated into several movements for the purpose of stronger narrative and aesthetic coherence.
The album explores the concept of percussion / resonance through the spectrum of electronic frequencies and densities with a plunge into the sound.« Percussion-Resonance » makes use of a new alphabet, a simple vocabulary in order to create innovative and personal music, with a clear and emotional subject. Structured architectural sequences give way to the experimental. Different climaxes punctuate the work in order to keep grabbing the listener’s attention. The record title tackle the theme of musique concrète developed by French composer Pierre Schaeffer as well a nod to Bernard Parmegiani’s De Natura Sonorum. Music for Buchla Music Easel, EMS Synthi, Eurorack Mutable Instruments, resonances sound textures.

Alexandre Bazin :

Is a member of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales better known as the GRM, for which he writes documentaries about music for Radio France. He is passionate about experimental music and more specifically the electronic music created by Bernard Parmegiani, Iannis Xenakis, Pan Sonic, Fennesz, Alva Noto and Ryoji Ikeda. His music is distributed by Important Records / Cassauna, Umor Rex Records and played at the Moogfest festival in the USA.

@veelargo

Veelargo es un productor de música electrónica español que reside en Polonia (Cracovia) desde 2016, después de haber vivido en Inglaterra dos años.

Empezó a interesarse por la música siendo adolescente y su pasión por ella le llevó primero a pinchar y gradualmente a producir. Sus influencias son muy variadas y van desde el IDM, Ambient, Electro o Techno, al Krautrock, EBM o Post Punk.

Para Veelargo, componer música electrónica es sinónimo de libertad absoluta y lo considera como constante aprendizaje, rigiéndose por cierta disciplina basada en constancia para aprender y mejorar su técnica.

Para el segundo podcast de Mutoscope Records, Veelargo ha grabado en exclusiva un directo de sus propias producciones (algunas aún inéditas). Durante la escucha, la primera conclusión es más que evidente, Veelargo rehúye lo convencional y promueve su evolución creativa desde el extremo.

Veelargo inunda al oyente con un gran acopio de sonidos orgánicos, por momentos hipnóticos y transparentes, administrándolos a la perfección con percusiones procesadas y melodías preciosistas. En cuanto al planteamiento rítmico, el artista mantiene la atención del oyente a través de medios tiempos y estructuras más complejas y contundentes, que en algunas ocasiones se retuercen en pedazos, siendo éstos los instantes más arriesgados del live.

Lo más relevante es que todos los elementos, sonidos e ideas de este directo identifican un sonido propio, dejando entrever la inquietante personalidad de su creador durante todo el desarrollo del mismo.
