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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
