Morita Vargas is an argentinian producer, singer and performer of experimental- electronic music. She explores fantasy soundscapes and lyrics with no-lenguaje, working with collages of sounds creating emotional atmospheres.

She has released two albums, "8" (Hidden Harmony Recordings, Estonia) and "Mandragora" (Autogenesis, Germany).

"For this mixtape I was inspired by female, trans, non-binary Latin and South American music that I admire. Their music opens the scene for me in terms of genre because it is an eclectic selection of sounds that goes from folklore to ambient, going through the experimental, melodic, dramatic, abstract and the frenzy of the dance floor and pop feeling. A mixture of ancestral roots and the present, it is a door for the world to know who we are and what we create and produce."

In a world full of drama, music is an instace to obliviate on the dancefloor; but couldn't help wonder, is the music our drug? Here are songs that talk about not giving a shit, being lost, guidance and the things that drive us from the place we are not concious about, let´s go faster!

avant session 22 | Sergi Botella — Vall Stroom

This is the psalm that is traditionally sung on the 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time (year A) according to the current distribution of chants along the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Mass. Edited recording at the Coagularium (Barcelona) during the reherseal in preparation for the upcoming Sunday at the Basilica of Santa Maria del Pi, where I will sing this psalm during the "Liturgy of the Word" part of the Mass.

Psalm 118

Salm 118, 1-2.4-5.17-18.33-34 (℞: 1b)

Feral Bands, by Nicolas Montgermont and Pali Meursault, uses radio waves, and the environmental and local interferences that they carry, as the only sources for a multichannel sound performance. Relying on the serendipity of electromagnetic pick-up, the resulting concert is completely different every time and in each location it is played.

The performance relies on the radical transformations of the electromagnetic landscape. While today, important parts of the spectrum are redirected toward the massive need for digital bandwidth, we focus on what as been abandoned, such as LW frequencies, which now are left almost completely open to interferences and natural radio waves.

Synthetic landscapes of vibrant matter

This work is nourished by the vital, perceptive and sonorous experience of living on the "outside", in the cultural-natural landscapes that we have traversed and traversed us during 6 months of walking with "2020: the Walk". A long-lasting immersion, deep and attentive listening that has transformed our sensorium. 
Sometimes in this deep, slow and prolonged listening to a landscape, its sonic forces and powers open windows through which hidden sounds and melodies emerge. Encrypted resonant vectors in the bones, in the viscera, and in the aural receptor apparatus. The body connected with the variable intensity of the wind on the rocks rivers of geological velocity, the rhythms of liquid, solid and gaseous water, the tectonic vibrations, the vibrating mineral matter and the sounds of birds and insects make hidden rhythms and patterns come up. Like a synchronised ecosystem in the randomness that makes temporal sense and opens its secrets to us in a forgotten language. A momentum that shows us how everything is made of the same substance and interrelated. Primordia > atoms, quarks, particles, steam, matter-energy.
An attempt to open the encrypted sound in the landscape.

This sound work speculates on the possibilities of going beyond the sonic appearance of the landscape, dissolving the onto-theological binaries of life/matter, analogue/digital, wild/culture, organic/inorganic. To induce in the human body and its sensorium an aesthetic-affective opening to the material vitality of the in/outside. An attentive encounter between bodies, materialities and thing-identities.

In the creation process, I have worked from field recordings made in the environment of the Kilpisjarvi biological station. It could be defined as an algorithmic and alchemical transformational process of sound materiality.
Following different techniques for audio analysis I have extracted patterns, intensities and different behaviour of the spectral and structural information of the sounds.
Then this data is resynthesized with different types of digital audio synthesis. I have also experimented with some machine learning models MelGAN-VC for audio transfer style. With the resulting transformed material I have composed this piece.

With this second post of "2020:The Walk" Oscar Martin presents a parallel sound work that he conceptualised and pre-produced during the two-week residency in Kilpisjärvi Biological Station. 


The two weeks were both part of the Ars Bioarctica residency program, as well as part of the Creative Europe collaboration project Rewilding Cultures by multiple European art associations, including the Bioart Society. Rewilding Cultures receives funding from the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

A night recording at Bertes Marina. Very windy, walking among the boats ashore. Wind and masts, wires and tarpaulins.

Dario Moratilla Live at Sonikas 2012

Prix Field Recording / Paysage sonore du Musée Réattu / Ville d'Arles
37’28, une production R{A}DIO{CUSTICA}, Czech Radio Vltava, (République Tchèque)

Basée sur des enregistrements réalisés à l’intérieur des territoires d’Amanã et de Mamirauá au centre de l’Amazonie, la pièce propose des perspectives inhabituelles (en surface, sous l’eau et dans le registre des ultrasons), invitant à évoluer dans un monde singulier de vitalité et d’altérité non humaines.

Pablo Sanz est un artiste-compositeur-chercheur. Il vit entre l'Espagne et l'Irlande du Nord. Sa pratique forme une enquête sans fin sur l’acte d’écoute, avec un accent sur les limites de la perception et de l’attention, encourageant une conscience écologique sensorielle.

“Pablo Sanz livre une pièce d’une grande richesse en timbres, fréquences, dynamiques, avec un travail très fin sur les plans sonores. La première séquence, qui va guider toute l’écoute, met joliment en oeuvre la démarche d’écologie radicale développée par la philosophe Vinciane Despret : celle de nous situer face aux autres espèces animales comme des individus face à d’autres individus, de les percevoir non simplement comme des représentants de leur vaste famille, mais dans leur singularité de sujets. Nous voilà à proprement parler interpellé·es et questionné·es par ces “étranges étrangers”. Juliette Volcler (Jury 2020)
