Maya is the latest release by catalan artist Nigul (aka Jaume Muntsant). After one year of hard work and being busy with his other project Hermético, Muntsant releases his fifth album until the date.

Maya is a new twist on this dark ambient project. This time Muntsant releases a more aseptic album, cleaner and more minimalistic than its previous. It seems that conceptually Hermético and Nigul are getting closer in terms of economy of media and aesthetics. Despite this minimalistic issues, Maya also contains the list of themes that Muntasnt loves to bring up to the light, such us epic nostalgia, farewell encounters and misterious names of tracks.

Finally, with Maya, Nigul is walking a new path in which the guitar takes a new role on the construction of sonorities. As well there is always a special care on building a narrative flow of hidden ideas, lost stories and all sorts of secrets beneath all the layers of sound structures. And this is a reminder of the inspirational referents of this catalan artist, dark stories, secrets, epic, and finally David Lynch, somewhere watching us.

Reviews:

 "Nigul es Jaume Muntsat, (Hermetico, Oir para creer), después de un año desde su ultimo trabajo como Nigul, aqui tambien en Audiotalaia, vuelve para deleitarnos con este estupendo trabajo de ambient drone. Bastante menos oscuro que los anteriores trabajos pero manteniendo los conceptos fundamentales e hilos conductores subyacentes a este proyecto, tales como el aire misterioso, épico y extraño, como de película de David Lynch. Tambien podemos percibir el uso de patrones bastante mas minimalistas, asépticos y desnudos. La guitarra que ha introducido en ciertos temas ayudan a dar cierto aire nostálgico. Personalmente creo que es su mejor trabajo como Nigul, el mas maduro, y donde demuestra una gran maestría a la hora de generar y manipular sonidos. Muy recomendable."

Circles Around The World is a various artists compilation that can be seen as a celebration of the 25th release in Audiotalaia Netlabel. Over this two years of work we have been releasing works from artist all around the world. For this special occasion we want to deliver a gathering of works under a common concept.

We asked the artists to work under certain premises. We asked them to try to portray some concepts or ideas on those pieces. Those concepts were based on the idea of a circle or cycle around the world, a journey across countries and cultures. The artists have been working on those ideas from the sonic point of view. Some of them have delivered tracks that represent features from the regions where they live. Some others have based their sound on travelling literature translating text into music. Some others have been working on soundscapes and sonic structures from their territory.

All together the compilation becomes a journey across the world, a conjunction of spaces, structures and scapes from all over the world. All of them are a representation of the thoughts and interests of each artist and their own perspective of the world.

Reviews:

"Audiotalaia celebra su referencia 25 y dos años de actividad durante los cuales ha ofrecido trabajos muy interesantes de artistas de todas las partes del mundo. Esta idea les sirve de partida para este álbum conceptual, donde los artistas han sido invitados a intentar representar de forma sonora un periplo o recorrido a través de todo el mundo. Para esto algunos han representado rasgos y aspectos de los lugares donde viven, otros se han servido de paisajes sonoros de distintos entornos. El compilado total es así una conjunción de espacios y paisajes de todas las partes del mundo. Los artistas que participan en este interesante trabajo son: heezen, nigul, segue, sean cooper-marquardt, hiroki sasajima, edu comelles, sunmoon, marcus kuerten, ennio mazzon, tsone, philip sulidae, brunk, the cherry blues project, offthesky , the love songs. Un lujo. Muy recomendable."

"Ambient alrededor del mundo | Audiotalaia publica su primera recopilación. Este netlabel catalán itinerante (su administrador Edu Comelles se pasea por europa como yo por mi casa) lleva desde 2007 ofreciendo electrónica experimental y ambient del más contemplativo. Con la celebración de estas 25 referencias es hora de hacer un pequeño repaso a sus inicios e historia.

 Hace años que Edu está interesado y también involucrado en el mundo del geocaching, es decir, ir en busca de pequeños tesoros escondidos por todo el mundo con ayuda de un GPS. Existe una importante comunidad y parece ser que la afición engancha.

 Edu arrancó el proyecto Talaies Sonores, dónde aporta sus propios "caches" a la comunidad en forma de directos de música electrónica grabados in situ y guardados en tuperwares una vez grabados a cd. Estos "caches" quedan escondidos en el sitio dónde se realizó el directo, disponibles para quién quiera ir a buscarlos, si no recuerdo mal de momento todos están por tierras catalanas. A raiz de estas primeras referencias nació el netlabel audiotalaia para ofrecer primero algunos extractos de estos directos realizados en plena naturaleza y más tarde sesiones y trabajos experimentales de artistas de todo el mundo, manteniendo siempre el espiritu musical "paisagístico" y cercano a la naturaleza que fué el detonante del proyecto.

 Al cabo de dos años de funcionamiento, audiotalaia demuestra su evolución y buen estado con esta recopilación que recoge artistas de todo el mundo para trazar un viaje que da la vuelta al mismo. Son nada menos que quince temas en poco más de hora y media de ambient."

SuperD'Orch is a digital orchestra. It was set up in 2009 as a combination of two research project briefs: to form and perform as a digital orchestra, and to use the audio programming language SuperCollider to build a performance environment.

The project explores the various issues that come with setting up a digital orchestra, which include issues relating to composition, performance and technology.

After much discussion, the group settled on the concept of a 'meta instrument'. SuperD'Orch then built project specific software applications using SuperCollider and Max/MSP which work together in various ways across the groups five laptops. Our performances are typically comprised of several musical pieces, each exploring a different compositional approach based upon the idea of the 'meta instrument' and the various ways in which it can be set up.

Ann Deveria from Madrid (Spain) delivers a live recording. The set is divided in two parts and all the materials are new works from this Spanish duo. The concert was played live at "Evenings" an experimental Music Venue in the Capital of Spain. The set was recorded the 22th of February 2009.

The first part is based on generating music digitally via laptop, while the second part is approached from an electric point of view, using guitars, pedals and microphones.

Reviews:

"Ann Deveria es un dúo de Madrid con varias referencias publicadas. Se dedican a la experimentación tanto con electrónica como con grabaciones de campo e instrumentos convencionales como las guitarras. En esta nueva entrega de Audiotalaia este grupo nos presenta dos cortes grabados en directo y diferenciados por esto mismo, la primera parte es musica generada con el ordenador y la segunda es música creada a partir de guitarras, pedales y micros. Este directo se realizó en Madrid dentro del festival “evenings” de este año."

"Well, once more beautiful breakfast music. This came out in july 2009, on the audiotalaia label, and it includes 2 rather long and very nice tracks, recorded in february 2009, by ann deveria from madrid, Spain. Ann deveria is the project of angel and jose, like it says on their myspace page. they also released an ep called 'sant pedro' on error lo-fi in august 2008 and the 1-track release 'patio de luz' on yoyo pang! (which might have become one of my favorite tracks for this year's autumn..definetely also download the yoyo pang track!) There are 3 limited 3-inch cds by ann deveria, which still can be bought at diskpol...and here is their blog...all written in Spain, so i couldn't understand much of it..
looking forward to hear more stuff by those guys!
Here is the 'domingo tarde' Ep.."

Reviews:

"Philip Sulidae firma desde Australia este nuevo lanzamiento de audiotalaia. Basándose en diferentes fuentes de sonido como diversas grabaciones y sonidos de campo así como sintesis digital nos entrega estos cinco cortes de ambient y experimentación minimalista."

"Au delà du simple déplacement, et peut-être d'un "exotisme" aussi subjectif que suranné, "southwest" est une réalisation très intriguante. Voici l'une de ces nouvelles approches où dominent largement des impressions, elles-aussi, intellectuellement stimulantes et novatrices. Ainsi, fort de la collaboration active de recording fields issus d'expériences géographiques , Philip Sulidae nous offre une belle combinaison atmosphérique de ces extractions environnementales. Si le ton général semble sombre, celà est, somme toute, assez naturel car il y a assez peu de lumière sous la surface des choses. creusons !"

Yearning for the summer, Audiotalaia Netlabel releases a new and refreshing Mixtape. This time and after a few time on the shadows, the section of Mixtapes reborn with three pieces brought specially from the coast line in Catalonia. Applezup (aka Christian Negre Walczak) sets up an extended mix of tracks ranging from the experimentation to post-rock, folk to ambient as well. Just Another Forecast Juice is another twist on the concept of mixtape and fixed composition or mixing.

Reviews:

"Siempre es un placer encontrar sesiones de ambient y de estilos variados y experimentales, ya que no suelen ser muy habituales y se salen del espectro de géneros normalmente usados en los djsets mas masivos. Pero si además el mix es como el que nos ocupa en esta ocasión, es todo un lujo. Applezup es Christian Negre Walczak, quien a través de sus sesiones eclécticas repasa el mundo del netaudio y nos ofrece su particular visión de esta escena. Además es miembro activo de netaudio.es. Con "Just another forecast juice" Applezup reanuda la sección de "mixtapes" de audiotalaia y lo hace además con un concepto novedoso de sesión ya que esta viene dividida en tres fragmentos, 001-Before 002-Now y 003-After. Tres pistas independientes que escuchadas en este orden constituyen este delicioso Mix. El tracklist esta muy bien seleccionado y el orden y mezcla de los distintos temas muy bien diseñado. Muy recomendable."

"Nos acercamos lentamente al verano y en audiotalaia se preparan para ello con esta magnífica sesión de Applezup. De esta manera se retoman los mixtapes que este netlabel ya había publicado con anterioridad.

 Applezup por su lado no necesita presentación, supongo que de sobras lo conocéis los que estéis mínimamente informados de la escena netlabel nacional. Desde la costa catalana este Dj se encuentra detrás de algunos de los más interesantes proyectos de la escena netaudio como netaudio.es, phlow.es (que esperamos que vea la luz muy pronto) y su propio sello de mixtapes, op3n.net. En esta sesión nos trae una selección de ambient, folk electrónico y soundscapes llena de luz. Seguro que la disfrutareis, antes, ahora y después…"

Audiotalaia is proud to present the work of Portuguese artist Jorge Nunes. This is a really special release for us because many reasons. Principally because is the first time that Audiotalaia hosts a work done with non digital processing systems. Also WAVE / PULP is a two for the price of one album. It contains two tracks that are sisters in a really special way. Also it's the 20th release in Audiotalaia and we want to thank all the people who had made this possible.

Jorge Nunes bases it's work in live improvisation. He likes to manipulate instruments and non musical objects and synthesizers. And that is WAVE / PULP an experiment where different generes in music merge in two extensive compositions.

After almost one year Ryonkt is back to Audiotalaia. After a ascending and outstanding success through this year, the artist from Sapporo delivers another large soundscape of harmonic lines.

This time Ryonkt presents a gentle composition that goes by while listening. A sonic space where time stops and the soft waves of Periodic Wind drags yourself into a mysterious land.

Coming from Italy and with a promising career on the Netaudio scene, Ennio Mazzon presents in Audiotalaia his second solo release. After releasing a remix for Offthesky at Resting Bell and his debut "The Scent of Morning Lights" (Timetheory Netlabel, 2008), Mazzon delivers a collection of soundscapes, drones and subtle textures.

The sound of Mazzon it's refined and synthetic. The pace of time gets slowed down while listening Muffled. Different layers of stretched sounds are combined exquisitely all together forming a continuous and straight timeline that it's transforming in slow motion.

Tracklist:

 01. trim the sails
02. moving horizon
03. horizontal static geometry
04. reflected light
05. lightness of perfection
06. take shape

After the album released on summer 2008 at Resting Bell, Southern Recordings. Edu Comelles aka Mensa moved to Scotland where he is studying sound design. From the ashes of Southern recording arose an extended mix of one of the track of this mini album.

The Clifts it's another turning point on the concrete approach of Mensa in issues like soundscapism and composition. The piece it's almost 17 minutes long and goes on like a changing landscape that evolves in different shapes keeping a slow pace of progression.
