Live Performance broadcasted by the freetekno Uzumaki collective in an almost 72-hours non-stop live streaming broadcast of live electronic music performance acts and dj sets.

These sessions arose from the impossibility of celebrating the sixth anniversary of the Uzumaki collective due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it was not originally scheduled, Uzumaki invited the artist behind the Notzing project as he belonged to the collective for a season, working on its creation and development.

Changing the reality around us is the only way to improve each individual. That is the purpose of life and the dare to be achieved, the only way to become a change agent, the art of driving people.

Apart from an Oberding district, Albert von Schrenck-Notzing was a German physician, psychiatrist and psychical researcher who was pioneer investigating paranormal areas like mediumship, hypnotism, thelepathy… also is known as the first forensic psychologist of the history.

Also it’s some kind of word play with the english word «nothing» when verbalized. And now, it’s an electronic music project.
When Dario Garcia started as a self-thaught sound designer, his first obsession was to being able to use frequencies to induce altered states of consciusness to those who listen. Psychoacoustics, low and high frequencies, weird equalizations and post-processes are some of the resources he has been always working around in his different projects to cause different somatizations to the listener. Notzing is the project to develop this idea in form of useful tools for the DJ, to being used in long mixes, powerful quadraphonic soundsystems and a bunch of listeners. When these conditions are met , the project background makes sense.

The Notzing project compositions usually are monotones complex loops, with a repetitive rhythm oscillating (usually 4/4). This is not a lazy choice. The purpose is to make easier the trance induction and to give more freedom to the creative process of the DJ (the shaman or medium) to overlap layers of sounds, textures and to develop a unique sound. It’s a way to empower the complexity of the rest of the sounds and the space where these are placed in the mix. It’s the DJ task to play with loops and to develop the ritual live for the listeners.

Since Notzing it’s a conceptual project, all the compositions and works published responds to cycles orbiting towards recurrent themes. Despite of these thematic cycles, the underlying idea of each work is the induction of altered states. There are some cycles where this purpose is more evident like in the Neuro Cycle. These cycles won’t be closed since the themes threated are the inspiration source and raison d’être of the project
