AMBIENT SESSIONS 39 - ALEXANDRE NAVARRO


Con mucho gusto les comparto nuestra nueva sesión, hecha por Alexandre Navarro, guitarrista, músico experimental, artista sonoro y productor de ambient de origen francés.

La larga y prominente carrera de Navarro se remonta a mediados de la década de los '00. Publicando gran cantidad de trabajos de forma independiente, así como en disqueras y netlables, tales como Archipel, Real Audio, Laverna y Mandorla, label de culto en la escena electrónica y experimental mexicana, que fue fundada y dirigida por el músico y artista sonoro Manrico Montero (QEPD).

Por si esto fuera poco, ha fundado y dirigido varias disqueras,  EKO Netlabel, SEM Label, DISQ AN & les disques imaginations. En las que destaca no sólo la calidad musical sino la cuidada identidad visual de cada uno de los lanzamientos, conformando bellas piezas de arte sonoro-visual.

Su sesión es una clara muestra de todo ese bagaje, abarcando varias décadas de música en el que las fronteras entre arte sonoro, música experimental, música ambient y electrónica se desdibujan, invitando a una escucha atenta.

Espero que la disfruten.

With great pleasure I share with you our new session, made by Alexandre Navarro, guitarist, experimental musician, sound artist and ambient producer of French origin.

Navarro's long and prominent career dates back to the mid-'00s. Publishing a large number of works independently, as well as on record labels and netlables, such as Archipel, Real Audio, Laverna and Mandorla, a cult label in the Mexican electronic and experimental scene, which was founded and directed by the musician and sound artist Manrico Montero (RIP).

As if this were not enough, he has founded and directed several record labels, EKO Netlabel, SEM Label, DISQ AN & les disques imaginations. In which he highlights not only the musical quality but also the careful visual identity of each of the releases, creating beautiful pieces of sound-visual art.

His session is a clear example of all that baggage, covering several decades of music in which the borders between sound art, experimental music, ambient and electronic are blurred, inviting careful listening.

I hope you enjoy it.

AMBIENT SESSIONS - in memoriam Mind Over MIDI

Imagen
A few days ago we learned of the death of the Norwegian producer Helge Tømmervåg , better known as Mind over MIDI . No further information on the event has been given, however it is an irreparable loss for those of us who knew his incessant work. Undoubtedly, he is a major figure in terms of quality and electronic production, with dozens of releases over several decades, perhaps not properly appreciated as it should be, leaving a great musical legacy. Hailing from Kristiansund on the northwest coast of Norway, Helge Tømmervåg crafted electronic sounds since the early '80s. His earliest work recorded under the now-familiar Mind over MIDI moniker arrived in the early '90s. He released scores of highly regarded and stylistically uncompromising sounds over the years, appearing on labels including Silent Seasons, Diametric, Hibernate, Whitelabrecs, ROHS! Lontano Series, Shimmering Moods Records, Slow Tones Collages and via his own Berserk Fabrik.   "Electronic music for daydrea

AMBIENT SESSIONS 36 - EEEM [eim]

Imagen
After our extensive mix for Drone Day, comes our new session, which this time is in charge of EEEM [eim] . Based in Espoo, Finland, Emmanuel Toledo aka Eeem [eim] is an audio engineer who likes to tell stories through music. Using equally field recordings, analog and digital instruments for his compositions. I personally have the pleasure of knowing his music for about ten years, as I mentioned in the Drone Day Mix note, he is one of the artists who made me delve into ambient-ambient drone, for which I have great appreciation and respect for his musical work, this makes his session flow naturally after the aforementioned mix. His discography is quite extensive and includes various collaborations with artists such as Gimu, Mathieu Lamontagne and Lauri Hallikainen , among others, spanning more than a decade of work. By the way, most of it is in the "Name your price" format on Bandcamp , so I highly recommend you take a look at his profile, listen and support if you can. About
