[microsound] [OT] Yituey "espacio = vida" On sale now. Apologies for cross posting
Some reviews about "espacio = vida":
Fakezine
www.fakezine.tk, Macedonia
This is a new label, and this is their first release. The label is paralelo
18 and its mission is to release creations which explore different
initiatives in art. This recording is recorded and composed by Claudio
Yituey Chea. The 3" cd consists of four tracks, each made using field
recordings of everyday sound scapes in Puerto Rico. All of these tracks have
been exhibited online at the Public Art Project of Puerto Rico
(www.artepublico.puertorico.pr). Unlike the many releases which are made
using field recordings, this one has a concept, melody composition and is
evidently a matter of a serious approach in the creation. The songs are
melodically conceived and arranged in conceptual ambiental pieces with
sounds of exotic soundscapes of puerto rico as a background. The whole 20
minute lasting composition is divided into 4 songs, above all it resembles a
conceptually balanced sounding piece which works well as a whole. Starting
off peacefully, naturally and ambientaly, during its integrity it's
intensified filling the track with sound, ending dynamic and noisy. plelo
001 is a release limited to 500 copies, of which to own one is definitely
worth it, showing that we should continue to keep up with this evidently
small label.

Another three inch CD by Claudio Yituey Chea, this also being a 500-copy
limited edition after his "Sonadores" on Locus of Assemblage. "Espacio =
Vida" (Space = Life) is formed by elements of everyday Puertorican sounds:
the sea and the animals are so beautifully recorded, you'd think they're
behind your sofa, while everything's enhanced by a pleasing, minimal touch
of electronics. Born to run parallel to an exhibition, nevertheless this
music stands well on its feet - it's a positive experience under any point
of view, for sure a serious step forward in the right direction for this
interesting "daily snapshots" assembler.
Aversion Online, Virginia

20 minutes of nice experimental ambient sounds from this Puerto Rican
project. All of this material was created using field recordings of everyday
soundscapes, and this music was actually featured in an online exhibition of
The Public Art Project of Puerto Rico. In large the tracks are subtly
melodic, and the field recordings are well manipulated so they're sometimes
recognizable, but work within the atmospheres of the compositions. Opener
"Paseo Lineal" contains ringing drones and hums with some flitting
percussive textures and lots of samples of animal sounds; "Plazoleta" is
similarly flowing with hums and drones that have a bright, ringing quality
to them, but a bit more abstract and concise; "Golondrina" starts with
crashing waves before slowly morphing into a more ambient realm that has
birds in the distance behind a darker set of resonant jingles; and then
closer "Una Noche Cualquiera en Guaynabo, P.R." is the most quiet and
minimal piece herein, similar to "Plazoleta", but with what I could call a
more sinister approach. The CD-R comes in a small plastic sleeve with a nice
wraparound band for the package. A lot of white space is used with light
blue tones and clean text. The tracklist appears inside with a small
hand-numbered corner, and additional text information is on the back. This
is the first release from the label, limited to 500 copies, and it's really
a nice start. Look for more from Yituey, as this is a strong release.
Running time - 20:28, Tracks: 4
[Notable tracks: Plazoleta, Una Noche Cualquiera en Guaynabo, P.R.]
