Corpus Auditive - Tutano

Julion De’Angelo follows up his split release on Theo Parrish’s Sound Signature, with his first solo release, Stand On Your Square, on Tone Log Jr. 
    The album opens up with words by Skip Burney, a percussionist who has toured with the likes of Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Miles Davis. In the recording, Burney shares his thoughts on the commitment required to be a part of an African drum tradition; however, what he’s saying can be applied more broadly to a larger commitment to music, and even further, a wholehearted devotion to a code, an ethic, a mission. This is the larger message Julion is communicating throughout the entirety of Stand On Your Square: the history and severity of tradition, specifically African traditions. Stand On Your Square Parts 1 and 2 (A and B2 respectively), reflect chaos as the norm, each track finding their peace and discipline in African rhythms differently. The song, Sizzlean (B1) is a stripped down beat track that most directly showcases his roots as a dancer. Stand On Your Square is a fuller look at a new artist who has much more to share with us; and at its simplest reading, it compels us to move.

Julion De’Angelo is a producer and DJ originally from North Carolina, and currently based in Detroit, MI. Julion has been making music since he was a child in NC.  From playing the bass, cello, and drums since his preteen years, music has always been the center of Julion’s world. He’s played in a number of bands, from free jazz and metal, to noise and punk. It’s this experimental sensibility, and familiarity with the avant-garde that he brings to each of his musical endeavors, and specifically the dance floor. 
Julion’s first club experiences took place at the D.I.Y. club, Nightlight and at FrequeNC parties, in Chapel Hill, NC. These are the places where a stronger understanding of dance music and of bodily movement began to take shape for Julion. In all of his work, there is an acute attention to the impact of vibrations on bodies, as well as the (sacred) energetic relationship that can occur between musician and listener.  
Upon moving to Detroit, Julion continues to deepen his immersion in the world of contemporary Black music. In 2017, he released a debut split-EP called “Roots That Talk” with Thomas Xu, on Sound Signature; this joint release inspired them to host party of the same name. He has been featured locally at parties like Music Gallery, where he also engineers sound. In addition, Julion helps organize and engineer the event Black Music, with Deon Jamar. Internationally, Julion has performed at venues like E1 London, Le Sucre, and C12 alongside mentors like, Theo Parrish and Specter.

“There’s a space for each artist...
Kandinsky said it very good — Not here, not there, but somewhere.” -Willem De Kooning

For Farsight, California’s bucolic San Geronimo Valley was the space that allowed for the creation of this handpicked selection of artistic output. Following a period of deep interest in abstract painting and its relationship to music, the artist found this lush and sparsely populated region to be an ideal location for contemplation and composition. Although the majority of the work was executed in the first two months of 2020 in this forested setting, some of the pieces were based upon drafts created as early as Summer 2017.

United in their eclecticism, the six cuts that comprise “Not Here, But Somewhere'' reveal a broad spectrum of musical influences. They are statements in an age in which influence is omni-directional, and in which the pace of artistic invention outstrips the ability of observers to identify and reify sub-genres. Although each track presents a unique approach, “Cadena,” “Sans Titre,” and “Door to the River'' reflect the continuing global suffusion of Latin American and Carribean styles such as reggaeton and dancehall.

Simultaneously, the duo of “While” and “Hot Half” suggest the ongoing dialogue of techno, electro, and industrial music and the interstices between them. “Mid-Winter Burning Sun” invokes the intensity of American trap music with its booming bass while touching equally upon the feel of early dubstep.
Ultimately, the idea that there is a “space for each artist” can be taken both in a literal sense— One’s physical environment— And also in the figurative sense that there is room enough for the ideas of all artists, who are kindred spirits in the endeavor of radical self-expression. In this way, “Not Here, But Somewhere” exists as an acknowledgement and gesture of goodwill towards every artist daring enough to explore the unknown.

Ettab - The Very Best Of

Una actuación en un horario poco habitual, valiéndonos de la luz de la mañana para ofrecer una perspectiva natural de la música de Suso.

No es sencillo resumir la carrera de un músico tan relevante como Suso Sáiz para la historia de la música nacional. Uno de los exponentes más brillantes de la música de vanguardia, su carrera como compositor y productor abarca más de cuatro décadas, donde ha publicado más de 20 discos habiendo colaborado con artistas como Christian Fennesz, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Steve Roach o Suzanne Kraft. Son sólo algunos nombres de una lista interminable.

La guitarra, herramienta clave en su lenguaje expresivo, queda escondida tras numerosas capas de efectos. Todo ello queda patente en sus últimos trabajos en solitario, Rainworks (2017) y sobre todo en Nothing is Objective (2019), en ambos discos Suso abunda en un sonido minimalista, con un tratamiento sonoro exquisito y una expresión melódica profunda y compleja.

Su incansable actividad cubre un amplio espectro de la música y de otras disciplinas, donde la interrelación con las artes plásticas y la poesía ocupan un lugar destacado.

Ciclo de música comisariado por Silvia Bianchi y Jacobo García López de Araujo.
