Continue readingThis record puts together two works conceived during my walks around Collserola hill (near Barcelona) with my friend Drac, looking for forest fountains and peaceful spots. It is very personal and intimate, but I’m pleased to share it with all of you. It is quiete obvious that it is not meditation music, or music to meditate with. In fact the first track is quite rough and based on guitar feedback. Somehow it was inspired by Metal Machine Music of Lou Reed, and the guitar part is the first thing I played with my brand new Blade Lewinson almost two years ago. I just played it once back from my Collserola walk, under the effect of the relaxing walk, and adding afterwards some sounds captured during the walk. Second track uses some more recognisable elements in the meditation music, such as tambura, tabla and sitar sounds, but again those elements are

Due to milions of requests, here you have a promo video of the soon coming album MUSIC FOR SLUMBERS, by the great guitarist Rafael Pacha (trained by Robert Fripp, and former member of the band LA BANDA DEL LAGO), and myself. The images are obtained from some videos on aurora borealis taken from the net and a little bit processed. I hope you all enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcOe0FDy63o

Pero no estamos ante una clásica grabación cruda de campo de un lugar determinado, el detallado trato delautor a todo el material de Saint Petersburg Soundscape sirve de vehículo para viajar, si bien no físicamente, si por medio de la “música” de una de las ciudades más atractivas del planeta y como nos dice Antoni, “…uno se hace a la idea de cómo suena la ciudad escuchando este trabajo”. Do you enjoy the buzz of a city? Are you fond of trains? Do you like to drift off into a world of the imagination? Then welcome to a triptych of albums from Antoni Robert. All three are based on field recordings electronically manipulated and edited to create a series of encapsulated experiences, evoking both

I play no instruments in this recording. This is deliberately a low-fi work. In the Yoko Ono-Plastic Ono Band LP (1970) there’s a track called “Paper Shoes” starting for some 2 minutes just with the sound of a train. I found this track fascinating. Since then I’ve always had

The idea for this work came to me when thinking about John Cage’s 4’33” piece. Cage composed the silence, but what about recording the silence? So I left the digital recorder in a silent room for one hour. In real world perfect silence doesn’t exist, because outside the silent room things happen, and leave subtel sound traces. Through amplification you start to hear noises and hidden sound patterns. Some make sense, some do not, but all of them are potentially useful. After a long process of selection and manipulation you have a variety of sounds that you can use for composing. Sounds that came out of nothing. No instruments at all have been used, just the sound captured in the original recording. After several attemps with the combined “stretch” effect

From September the 3rd until the 6th I attended all the concerts of the Life Lines festival dedicated to Hans-Joachim Roedelius in Berlin, at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. From my hotel near Ostkreutz station to the concert hall everyday I had to go through seven S-Bahn stations. This was like a ritual every day. Not knowing what for, I started doing some field recordings. During the day along Berlin streets, then at the concert hall I recorded
