Title:  Insula Dulcamara Artist:  Paulo Raposo; Carlos Santos - Various Artists Label:  Sirr Format:  CD Price:  € 13.00   Mp3 samples:   1   2

Title Description:
"Insula Dulcamara" features a series of live and studio improvisations that
we were progressively transformed and shifted over two years. Small
snapshots captured during vacations in the north of Portugal, travelling
notes, reverberating spaces, particular gestures embroided in and against
very different materials. The sounds move quietly through the fragmented
landscapes of field recordings and the transforming electronic processes
create a highly evershifting but detailed sonic flow.
Ê
Paulo Raposo is a sound + media artist based in lisbon, Portugal. Despite
having studied cinema and philosophy, he has been working in the medium of
live electronic and computer sound since the early nineties, performing,
exhibiting installation works and recording in France, Germany, UK, Spain,
Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and United States. His work has largely been
concerned with the displacement of various sound sources as objects,
acoustic instruments or architectural spaces, using computer and
custom-built software, written in max/msp, to create abstract and organic
landscapes. Since the late nineties, he started exploring intersections
between sound and image taking advantage of the digital medium real-time
possibilities, both in solo performances and collaborative work, specially
along with Jeremy Bernstein. He has always been interested in improvised
music, having performed with several artists and groups, including Jason
Kahn, Kaffe Mathews, Marc Behrens,Zbigniew Karkowski, Matt Rogalski, Carlos
Z’ngaro, Christopher Murphy, Manuel Mota, Harold Baush, Matt Rogalski, Ben
Manley, Koji Asano. The project 'vitriol' with Carlos Santos is an ongoing
performing and recording collaboration with Carlos Santos that started 15
years ago.

(Grainofsound), "Further Consequences of Reinterpretation" with Marc Behrens
and "Humus" with Carlos Z’ngaro.
