On this collaborative release, Koiwa & Nicolás Aimo combine their musicalities and ambient expertise to create a deeply introspective and very finely polished soundscape trip. Textural, melodic and even showcasing deep, resonating rhythms, this LP shows the maturity of two artists giving room to each other’s ideas that mix seamlessly into one, unified aesthetic.
We're very happy to co-release it alongside 梅レコード (Umé Records)

Selene Erbes’ experimental flute playing is expanded upon by Koiwa’s minimalistic synths and exploratory live FX. They are joined by Chasys for a rework of each of the two tracks that this unconventional duo bring to the table, creating a sort of distorted mirror for their compositions and completing a quartet of tracks that are hard to categorise. Exactly what we like in music!

Platitud, a neologism in Spanish for the word 'Platitude', meaning 'A trite or banal remark or statement, especially one expressed as if it were original or significant', is Maqueta's first album in 6 years.

With an outward look towards the world instead of towards the inside, and partly created during the pandemic, this album is full of observations and criticism towards the powers that control us, that shape and tilt our opinions, that strip us from our humanity.

(EN) “Tapé tu oído para pronunciar el secreto” is a tryptic composition of emotional and personal characteristics. The sound palette is made up of micro percussions, bright synths and electric bass. Through hyperactive, syncopated sequences we arrive at a euphoric & intense result, which speaks to the dichotomy between the mysterious interior and the interpersonal exterior.

La paleta sonora está conformada por micro percusiones, sintetizadores brillantes y partes de bajo eléctrico.

From the 50+ tracks that made up the sessions that ended up making the album 'Platitud' by Maqueta, more than 40 where left out, many of them already having reached the end of production. This collection reflects some of the work that was made along the way, many instrumental tracks and different production values gives us a deeper glimpse into the several roads that open up during the exploratory journey of making an album.

Analema marks the return of producer ZXZO 5 years after his last release. With a mature, minimalistic & elegant production style, this new composition delights us with clarinets, soft synthesizers and curated textures, providing a soundscape narrative that keeps us eager for more.

Analema

Recorded at the Santa Rosa de Lima church in Buenos Aires, this church-bells concert was recorded specifically with the idea of making an album, meaning the editing & sequencing lends itself to a deep listening experience, compared to the energetic, yet rough (and still highly recommended) live experience.

Joined by Andrés Serantes, Diego Martinez & Margarita Rodriguez Planes, the composer & percussionist Federico Orio set out on this adventure on a realm on which he's by now an expert, to capture this holy bronces which, out of their sacred context, are left with their essential property: a giant percussion instrument. It's hard to imagine the strength of their sound-waves vibrating the interpreters' bodies, yet the listener here can experience the droning, hypnotic motion and strength of the gargantuan shaking frequencies.

Make no mistake, this is a classical music album, a percussion composition and an ensemble performance. It's works both as a deep listening experience and as a soothing balm of sound in the background. Dive in!
