@javiermarimon [VLB52 live] - " Just before the pandemic hit, I moved away from on mega cities and found an abandoned ruin deep in the north of Spain, in the middle of nowhere on a mountain by a river. 

I came alone at the same time the world was closing. In the end, I spent 4 full months here with pretty much zero human contact... the silence was almost painful but also incredibly healing and rewarding.
 
Today, a year later, I really wanted to convey what happened during those days in the village of Vilaboa. The melodies I listened to in the new deep silence around me, and some of the residual noise from inside my head. "

Human Lessons #049 - Javier Marimon

"This sound takes me back to waking up in an old "hórreo" or barn converted into a house. A faint, pleasant smell of corn reminds me that there was no bed before. I go downstairs and pour myself a hot cuppa. The mist in my mouth plays camouflage with the fog and the horizontal rain that covers the atmosphere. I want to get to the oak tree on the other side, so I put on my boots to cross the river. I'm ready. Organic peace. What a beautiful awakening."

Javier Marimon (@javiermarimon) is the sound output of a visual mind interested on twisted perspectives, off tangents, crackling noises and moving thingies from a lost village in Spain called Vilaboa.

HOCast #74 - Javier Marimon

Into The Abyss #017 | VLB52 Live
 
The ever-foggy view and the liquid atmosphere promised calm and general silence. But, just contrary, lost beats and broken patterns emerge from beneath the entropy of the forest, from every fern shaking and it screams from the distance like a high definition, silent river. 

This is a collection of recordings in different days, spots, weather and machines through 2020 and 2021 to be arranged later on again around the summer months 2021 into a single trekking day following the music.

Into The Abyss #017 |VLB52 Live

Life moves at such a fast pace that it seems to pass us by before we can really enjoy it. However, it doesn’t have to be this way.

VLB52 is an evolution from Javier Marimon's sound, adapting to a new environment, rain, wet socks, whirling scapes and specially to the sensorial entropy around that our brains are constantly trying to freeze to avoid heavy computations. That is rather speeding up life, surprisingly. 

Javi tells us: “In this live recording, on Rytm, Octatrack and FXs exploring different weather's and now usual wild patterns coming from the forest, there is an intense sound walk around our area hoping you get a bit of that hectic calm life we are also trying to decode”. 

Let’s rebel against a frenetic lifestyle and slow down to enjoy life.

Oslated Mix Episode 82 - Javier Marimon

Kizen Records
Ho Chi MInh / Madrid
Vietnam / Spain

It is a struggle to be expressive. To be able to communicate beyond natural and abstract barriers. Gestures and expressions can help, a twitch on your nose, eyebrow movements and little perfect-imperfections can hide or empower as well. 

You can draw and you can build, talk, dance and be physical. But with Sound, because of it's white-hole nature, endless and intangible, the depth is real. Being able to cry and smile, and scream and whisper with multiple veils of reality, depending on the receiver, opens possibilities of explosion and self healing through emotions and micro dances. It's really special. 

Losing the ability of touch, taste, and smell and instead being persuaded by an external, abstract, almost alien agent to create new flavors, smells and memories somewhere invisible and almost unreal in your brain is what really captivates me.  

This mix starts with the sound of water, a little space of white noise to restart the system and refresh the Eustachian tubes for a better experience. On it are some of my tracks, sketches of music and other favorites tracks from artists that are clearly influential to me, for a quick, painless trip somewhere of your choice.

이것은 표현을 위한 나의 고군분투이다. 자연적이고 추상적인 장벽을 넘어 소통하기 위함이며, 몸짓과 표현은 또한 당연 도움이 되는데 가령, 코의 찡긋거림이나 눈썹의 움직임 그리고 완벽하게 구현되지 않은 것들 또한 숨기거나 힘을 불어넣을 수가 있다.

그림을 그릴 수 있고, 만들고, 말하고, 춤을 추고, 그리고 신체적으로 활동할 수가 있다. 그러나 소리와 함께 하는것은, 그것의 하얀 구멍과도 같은 성질 때문에, 끝없고 무형적인 그것이 드러내는 깊이는 진짜다. 울고 웃으며 소리지르고 속삭이는 현실의 여러가지 장막들을 통해, 수용자에 따라 감정의 폭발과 자가-치유 가능성, 그리고 작은 춤이 거기에 있다. 정말 특별한 일이다.

촉각과 미각, 후각을 잃고 대신 외부의 추상적인 거의 외계인 에이전트에 의해 새로운 맛, 냄새, 기억을 창조하도록 설득당하는 것이 진정 나를 사로잡는다. 이 믹스는 물소리로 부터 시작되며, 화이트 노이즈를 위한 작은 공간은 시스템을 재시작하고 유스타키오관을 새로고침 하기 위함이다. 몇몇은 나의 트랙이고, 스케치이며 다른 아티스트들의 트랙은 나에게 정말 영향력 있는 트랙들이고, 빠르고 고통없는 어딘가로의 여행이 될 것이다.

Oslated Mix Episode 82 - Javier Marimon

Golden Ratio FM - Javier Marimon (live set)

Dear people, welcome to the 28th episode of the series. Today, here's 80 minutes of strong ambient music by the talented Javier Marimon.

Javier is an audio and visual artist from Madrid, but who currently live in Ho Chi Minh city. His style can be caracterized by an intelligent mix of ambient, techno and dub, creating moving shapes and ethereal textures. 
His "Hoy" EP was released under this alias on Japan-based Kizen Records. This year, it's Oslated, from Seoul, who released his last EP, "General Noise".

"The track that ends this set is "Horizonte de Sucesos" by the Barcelona band ·Y·, translated as "events horizon" and the general energy on this ambient-heavy set is based around that concept. You could go into general relativity, wavelengths, accelerated particles and other really complicated terms, but at the end i think it talks about something much closer, more human and real. more about daily evolution and short steps. That's where i tried to reach on this trip Inside, somewhere known but diffuse, close home and safe. Lot of favorite tracks and expressive exercises by big feeling people, hope you enjoy the ride."

Stellar Series Episode 28 - Javier Marimon (Horizonte De Sucesos)

Edition V of Kizen Seasonal Mix Series to celebrate nature, seasons, and the music that accompanied us.

Kizen Records, Spring Equinox 2019 Mix by Javier Marimon

To the heart from the start. Javier Marimon has been there with us, right from the very beginning - those days that started off in Saigon, a time where we shared our passions in mutual learning and admiration. Hence, what a delight to feature this special recording of his last days in Vietnam as our seasonal Equinox mix. It marks the emotive end of an era as much as it sets an impulse for a rhythmic change. And good timing. Spring is nature's youth, a promise of brighter days. Hope you will enjoy Javier's fragrant and refreshing offering to spring.

------------------------------------
The promise of the spring is something we can feel, we see the million new colors and ideas through the Winter, and we rely on that to survive it. In my case the line between seasons it's been blurred out by my location, where a constant dense temperature, only divided by heavy warm rains, make you lose track of time and changes (and life) on the other side. After the second New Year celebration of 2019 I moved back to my original Home where an early, dry and massive Spring and a never changing loving Family has welcomed me with really open arms. This set was recorded just before the big change, and inspired by those promises, obsessions, conditions and secret fears that were popping out of my ears so heavily muted. There is some unreleased tracks, favorites by Erik Truffaz & Murcof, Ben Kaczor, Winter In June & Vâyu, Erika, Sanjib, Scientist, the Revolutionaries, Prince Far I, Our Lady the Flowers, Sutekh, cv313, sjazd, Ill Considered, Laraaji, Tristeza and some field recordings and movie samplers.
It's my pleasure to be invited by my family on Kizen for this special Equinox mix, they can really understand all this recent changes i went through as they went through exactly the same ones, always for good. Hope this Spring brings everyone the colors and tones we have being dreaming about.

Our very first edition of Nurture was made a little bit more than a year ago with the fantastic live set of Javier Marimon. He is one of the finest ambient music aficionados and curator that Saigon have.

His live set is a fantastic journey around soundscaping, moving you through different level of energy, like a slow roller coaster, that traded the fair to a lunar landscape.

MNMT 244: Javier Marimon

Javier Marimon nos expone en el #9 de Isolation Series la colección de sus temas favoritos, escapando de un ámbito musical de club, y que, sin ser estrictamente electrónica, nos invitan a bailar sin parar.

Dentro de cada título y letra, Javier, nos envía mensajes ocultos de sus nostálgicos bailes en solitario y algunos de sus temas caseros favoritos que tristemente le recuerdan a sus cercanxs que se encuentran lejos y aisladx en otra parte del mundo, terminando con una canción especial para que cantemos y reconozcamos cual es el sonido que nos espera.

Nos deja disfrutando de esta combinación de sus clásicos favoritos, de estilo japonés, soul, jazz, wave y reggae que crean la ilusión de escapar de la ciudad a un lugar indefinido, pero lejano y puede que eterno.

“This is a collection of Real favorites, music outside the club scene, non strictly electronic and still heavy dance inducing tracks. 

I send all the hidden messages on titles and lyrics, the quirky movements alone remembering and some of our home-favorites to someone sadly really far and also deeply isolated on the other side of the world, ending on our favorite song to sing together and a little bit of sound of what is waiting for us, hopefully soon.

Hope you enjoy this blend of classic, soul, japanese, jazz, wave and reggae favorites that creates a scape from the city into somewhere undetermined but far away and maybe forever.” — Javier Marimon.

Deep Breakfast 081 - Javier Marimon

"I would love to be more eloquent, organized, more sincere; especially to myself. But nonsense exploration takes me by the ear like an angry grandma into forgetting the second that just passed by; it makes the next one much more brilliant, a present from the Cosmos, a new opportunity to change or, most likely, to forget about it again."

Recorded by Javier Marimon from RC3 2020's Lounge Room.
