Josephine’ Soundscapes is a project comprising sound collages and dj sets that embrace certain atmospheres of escape and electricity, a collection of random sequences, pensive oscillations, erratic voices drifting across decades (from landscape to living room), nocturnality and a rare, as in slight, intensity.

Josephine' Soundscapes listening Dj Sets/Mixtapes

The Revolving bridge was a portable bridge concept designed by Leonardo Da Vinci intended for military use. The main objective was to facilitate mobility helping armies to navigate unfamiliar terrain with less difficulty, and more easily escape from pursuing forces. A concept that seen from their current musical point of view has a lot to do with it.

“The idea starts from building a bridge between this current abnormality and the return to real life on a sea of ​​sound waves, creating a journey of peaks and valleys around electronics with a horizontal vocation, sound textures and contemporary chamber music”.

a_mal_gam_a took shape, back in 2016, when Diskoan (Juan Peralta) and Josephine's Soundscapes (José Salas) joined forces to create a research platform to explore electronic music beyond conventional parameters.

In this DJ-set they bring the dynamics of their sessions at "Avalovara, club de escucha", a pioneering monthly listening club in Madrid, where the most unusual music and visuals induce the attendees to a special state that encourages active listening and sensory experience mixed with (less conventional) ludic enjoyment.

In April 2021, a_mal_gam_a has curated the program for En Pausa, a festival  dedicated to horizontal music and deep listening.

The session was recorded in the @radio-relativa studios in Madrid.

~ Deep Breakfast 129 by Josephine' Soundscapes (https://soundcloud.com/machines-desirantes) ~

"I´m glad to share with you this sound passage full of melodic atmospheres, made of organic instrumentation and wrapped in subtle experimentation with highly evocative results. Try to listen to it before waking up, while you're still in bed. It may not to help you to escape totally the feeling of uncertainty before a new day, but sure it'll work for a better accept of the contradictions to come, thanks to its rare intensity, slight in appearance, but strong in the end.
I invite you to listen without prior knowledge of the song titles. We can solve the mystery of the lost tracklist, together afterwards, through the dialogue in the comments. Thanks in advance for participating."

Stellar Series Episode 68 - Josephine' Soundscapes (The Space Between)

"Pure darkness, then a ray of light. The clock hand is heard in the background, a new life begins. A journey of intrigue, a roller coaster of emotions. Oscillating, heartfelt. The story begins, unfolds. It survives. It hides from predators. It is free. Every stage, every moment will be engraved inside the cave. Pure darkness, the hand of the clock is no longer heard. Teardrop. Ether. What a journey!"

 - Author's note:

Recorded live on 04/19/22 during Calma in Zapadores.

After two years of inactivity in Zapadores, Josephine Soundscapes proposed a trip in her musical and affective memory, the set was complemented by a live visual show performed together with her partner in a_mal_gam_a, Diskoan (@diskoan), in which predatory nature was the protagonist. -

Josephine' Soundscapes - Vanishing Point @ Ambient room. Feudal Fest 2023. 

Every summer, a group of friends get together to enjoy music and party in an old castle converted into a hotel, lost in Valladolid, Spain... In this 2023 edition, one of the rooms was set up to hold a horizontal music session, one single day at dawn. Due to the dimensions of the space very few people were able to enjoy these DJ sets, now they're published here for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks to all the people involved at @feudal-festival.

Mastering Rubén Suárez.

place annually in Andalusia. Our values are essentially respect, promoting community and supporting local talent."

Josephine’s Soundscapes is a project comprising sound collages and Dj sets that embrace certain atmospheres of escape and electricity, a collection of random sequences, pensive oscillations, erratic voices drifting across decades (from landscape to living room), nocturnality and a rare, as in slight, intensity. Part of creative cell a_mal_gam_a with deejay Diskoan, spreading its hypnagogic shroud over a number of club nights and special events from its residency at listening club Avalovara.

Into The Abyss Special Mix | Simbiosis 2023 - Josephine' Soundscapes

Josephine’ Soundscapes (dj set) @ temple chptr. 1.

Josephine explains:

"In this special DJ set for the opening of this new project, temple, I mixed another batch of treasured tracks from the past, the outcome of my predilection for the calmer side of 90s IDM and Braindance, and their countless subgenres that were practiced in the culture movement of chill out. These alternative spaces to the dance floor served as both a sensory springboard and a pond of disconnection. It was a time that I had to live through, but thanks to the review and current knowledge capacity, I can reach deeper corners of the work of essential underground artists of that era. As always, in this type of sets I like to work with favorite ingredients like melodies and experimentality, progressive developments, hints of acid and psychedelic spirit, to cook atmospheres fluctuating between expansion and contraction, sometimes more introspective and sometimes full of contained euphoria".

Josephine’ Soundscapes is a project comprising sound collages and Dj sets that embrace certain atmospheres of escape and electricity, a collection of random sequences, pensive oscillations, erratic voices drifting across decades (from landscape to living room), nocturnality and a rare, as in slight, intensity.

Josephine’ Soundscapes is an experimental incarnation of transversal studio Machines Désirantes Buró, based in Madrid.

Josephine 의 사운드스케이프는 랜덤 시퀀스들, 깊은 진동, 수십 년 동안 표류하는 불규칙한 목소리 (경관부터 거실로), 드물게 강렬함 (경관) 을 수용하는 사운드 콜라주와 DJ 세트로 구성된 프로젝트다. 
Diskoan 과 함께 창작집단 a_mal_gam_a 의 멤버로써, 클럽 Avalovara 의 레지던시부터 특별한 이벤트까지 여러 최면적인 장을 만들어오고 있다.
Josephine 의 사운드스케이프는 마드리드의 스튜디오 Machines Désirantes Buró 에서 실행되는 실험적인 자아이다.
