Berlin Atonal 2023/W1 – Trip Review

2 October, 2023

Music, Opinion, Visual Review

If you are familiar with my trip reviews of Atonal (2017, 2018, 2021), you already know what I do here… if not, here is a little introduction: The following chronicle is a mixture of AV review of the festival, offering…

Atonal’s Metabolic Rift – closure trip review

3 November, 2021

Music, Opinion

It’s been a while… for many things. No concerts, no festivals, limited social life, etc, etc. you know what I’m talking about. Every unusual situation brings with it an opportunity to question what’s important, or what’s the purpose of doing…

2019: Top 10 | the music that inspired my year

16 December, 2019

Music

Before I start with my personal Top 10 albums of this year, I must say two obvious things: 1st. I regret having this blog nearly abandoned, specially missed to have the time to write my review of last Atonal Festival,…

Atonal 2018 trip review [part 2]

12 September, 2018

Music, Opinion, Visual Review

We are in the equator of Berlin Atonal 2018, facing the program for Day III. Something you learn in life is that after a big wave there is a moment to reach the bottom. The higher you get, the lower…

Atonal 2018 trip review [part 1]

7 September, 2018

Music, Opinion, Visual Review

Before Berlin Atonal 2018 took place, I wasn’t sure about writing this review. As I usually don’t like to repeat myself, even though I repeated once again the experience of attending the full festival and doing it under the effect…

Farewell [mixtape 2018]

11 February, 2018

Music, Personal

This farewell is not a goodbye, it’s more like in its original sense, a sentence that derives from the vikings, from the norwegian words: "far vell" which means "travel good". This mixtape is meant to be a companion in the…

2017: Top 10

27 December, 2017

Music, Opinion

Yes, it’s that time of the year… the end. And yes, I am one of those who likes to look back and see which were my highlights of the year, not only at a personal and professional level, but also…

Bludhoney Records

18 December, 2017

Music

There is a spectrum of music that pleases me easily… The same way that there is an aesthetic that also keep me hooked. And thanks god it happens that Bludhoney Records matches them both. Music wise is all about certain…

Beast: Volume One / Volume Two

23 November, 2017

Music

As it happens a lot of times, I came across these albums due to the artwork in the cover. The first time I just saw that image of ``Volume Two``, I don't remember where but I do remember saving the…

Video Input II

13 October, 2017

Visual Review

It’s been a long time since my previous selection of videos [Video Input I] and believe me, my plan was to keep a continuous flow of curated video selections. But I realize I spend far less time digging in Vimeo…

Music for a summer’s end

6 September, 2017

Music

Without taking in consideration my Berlin Atonal review, my last music post is from May 6… It’s not that I didn’t have time, rather more I did not came across anything that captured my attention enough to recommend it here at godisaglitch.com. But now, in the last weeks I found myself with plenty of new releases that A. I was waiting for or B. I just discovered and fell in…

Atonal Through The Looking Glass [part 2]

28 August, 2017

Music, Opinion, Visual Review

If you read already the first part of this review of Berlin Atonal 2017, you already know I'm taking you through an audio-visual journey spiced up with some mushrooms, just to refresh your mind. As I commented in part 1, my vision of the festival, my highlights are extremely a personal choice, and I’m happy that I shared conversations during the festival where other people have different views. Also I…

Atonal In Wonderland [part 1]

25 August, 2017

Music, Opinion, Visual Review

Here is my very personal review of the past Berlin Atonal 2017, and I say very personal because first, it’s always a personal choice and taste, and second because my Atonal experience is always an inner journey, indeed the original title of this review was "Atonal on mushrooms”. But somehow I don’t want to make of this a sensational thing like a vice-kind-of-article. So first things first, an introduction: Berlin…

Berlin, 3652 and one nights

6 August, 2017

Personal

This day, the 6th of August marks 10 years since I moved to Berlin. And I want to take a moment to meditate what those ten years meant at a personal level, but also professionally, how living in Berlin affected me and how I see the city through all this years. Of course this article is gonna be quite personal, more than usual, but beside sharing my stories, maybe this…

VJ or Visual Artist?

10 July, 2017

Opinion, Visual Review

It’s a common mistake to mix-up the terms VJ and Visual Artist, as it happened sometime ago when people tend to mistake electronic musicians with DJs. Are those different things? Yes, indeed, and that's why I wanted to write this article and share my opinion about it. As I found myself sometimes labelled as VJ, or having to explain to musicians what I do and clear out the mess (nope,…

Visual Music

26 June, 2017

Opinion, Visual Review

The capacity to translate music notes and rhythms into visual forms, generally called Visual Music is one of the crossbreed art concepts that I feel more identified with. Also because it connects two of my biggest passions: Visuals (all kind of graphic expression) and music. Therefor it was a matter of time to write a piece about all this in my blog. Indeed AV Brain Feeder is meant not only for…

Forest Swords

6 May, 2017

Music

The last album I gonna recommend this week (beside the ones from Justin Walter and Ancestral Voices) is the new Forest Swords’s “Compassion”. I must confess this is not any discovery, but I was really looking forward to listen it, as the first single was already promising. Also he is not a newcomer, he already have a remarkable work before this album and it is released on Ninja Tune, which…

Ancestral Voices

6 May, 2017

Music

I discovered the work of Ancestral Voices back in 2015 with the album “Night Of Visions” released on Samurai Music Group, which somehow surprised me as I identified this label with more dance-floor oriented electronic music. The first thing that called my attention was its cover artwork and also his artistic name, I felt instantly connected with it and I knew I would enjoy the trip. And now with his…

Justin Walter

6 May, 2017

Music

This week has been musically pretty exciting, and I just say that because this week I found several albums that kept me hooked. I could review all them in one post but I think each of them deserve proper attention. So, let’s go with the first one: the new album from Justin Walter for Kranky record label. I didn’t know Walter’s work but I had a pretty good reference with…

Colin Stetson

2 May, 2017

Music

I guess sharing and commenting on the new album from Colin Stetson is a must, at least from a personal point of view, as I have been following his career for already some years and somehow I have to thank him and his music for opening my mind to other genres and specially other instruments. I can’t say enough how impressive an emotional his music can be, the same goes…

Terminal Dream

23 April, 2017

Music

I think it was last year when I discovered Terminal Dream, a music label from Russia run by Pixelord and Gultskra Artikler. If just the name alone of Pixelord is a great reference to catch my attention, the name of the label (Terminal Dream), their own definition as ``Psychedelic label`` and their artworks made it all easy for falling in love with it. So, I have been going back to…

From post-jazz, ambient, experimental…

11 April, 2017

Music

It’s been a while from my last music recommendation, so today instead one I offer you four inspiring works / artists. My music hunger is always pushing me to dig in internet (lately mainly in bandcamp), so these three releases and a mix (looking forward to the imminent release of Ellen Arkbro’s new work) are the ones I have been listening more in repeat. It’s curious to find myself digging…

Encouragement [for life]

10 April, 2017

Opinion, Personal

As we commented in our previous article about encouragement, beside being artists we are also humans, have a life and is not always easy, the ups and downs, the uncertainty of our time, the struggling, the continuous fight, the society we live in and we somehow maintain… There is many times I felt like giving up, and probably you felt it too. It’s not only about having an (artistic) career,…

Encouragement [for creation]

3 April, 2017

Opinion, Personal

This article is meant to be a kind of artist encouragement, a compilation of video stories from other artists to bring inspiration, hope and support for those creative people struggling with their work, with their career. Because it’s known that choosing to be an artist is maybe an easy choice but “succeed” doing it is one of the hardest paths in life. Although maybe we should first check what means…

Mario Batkovic

19 March, 2017

Music

Even though I grow up listening mainly electronic music and I consider it my most favorite genre in all its forms. I must confess that in the last years I developed a fascination for musicians playing classic instruments with a personal approach, that's the case of Colin Stetson, for example, or Mario Batkovic, an accordion player I discovered some days ago. It amazes me when someone is able to puzzle…

Video Input I

12 March, 2017

Visual Review

I usually watch a lot of videos, specially music videos. First on TV, when I was a kid, and in the last decades on internet, mainly in Vimeo. I believe that a good creator has to feed him/herself with as much inputs as possible, from the very same discipline and from others. It’s not just a question of entertain or distract yourself, but also of being aware of what’s out…

Why God Is A Glitch?

2 March, 2017

Personal

God Is A Glitch is the name I chose for my visual portfolio, not because is my name or my brand. I use Geso as artistic name / brand, but beside my personal meaning developed behind it, Geso as an address for a website didn’t create an image in your brains. So I decided to look for something you could remember easily, something that could generate inside you an idea,…

Nico Niquo

7 March, 2017

Music

Sometimes I just pick on some new albums only due to their artwork cover, that's what happened with ``In A Silent Way`` from Nico Niquo, and in cases like this you end up discovering an amazing album behind it. Which also applies to all the work published by Orange Milk Records (musically and visually). I was highly impressed by the touching melodies and ambients contained in this LP. Dreamy and…

Catherine Christer Hennix

9 February, 2017

Music

I discovered this album when I was checking out the line up for the up-coming event ``The Long Now`` (on April 25, 2017 at Kraftwerk - Berlin), and I suddenly fell in love with this long hour of up-lifting sounds. I particularly enjoy the mixture of cultural influences, like the arabic chants that somehow remind me also to Spanish flamenco, at least in its roots. Live At Issue Project Room…
