This is the 12th and last reissue of the first batch. Now we take a break to breath, while we prepare more reissues! Este álbum es la aplicación de las técnicas de Muelles Sensoriales 1 a la formación Zog, es decir, clarinete bajo, saxo barítono y dos baterías. El trabajo en estudio permitió además añadir pistas de otros instrumentos. Released July 9, 1995. Juan Crek: saxo barítono, percusión; Victor Nubla: clarinete, clarinete bajo, contrafagot, oscilador; Patri Martínez: batería, vibráfono, arpa diatónica, percusión, guitarra fuzz, laúd, cajón; Pep Figueras: batería, percusión, trombón, bongó. Some consider that this is the finest Macromassa work. It belongs to the quartet era, with 2 drummers. Sound in this era was overwhelming, and they used to call it psycho heavy. An extraordinary cd! In loving memory of Victor Nubla and Patri Martinez.

The Microtopies are sonic miniatures that shape a special edition of the Música i Geografía (Ràdio Gràcia, Barcelona) radio show, produced weekly by Gràcia Territori Sonor. The aim is to make a sonic route through a map of randomly assigned events, since the pieces received have been included in strict order of reception. This year have been received 56 pieces from 31 cities from 11 countries. Now, we invite you to this journey. You will enjoy the best sound quality as recorded by the authors. Don’t listen to them on your computer loudspeakers but rather plug it in a decent sound system or put on good headphones, otherwise you will miss a lot of sounds and frequencies… Have a good trip! Gràcia Territori Sonor wants to acknowledge all the artists who have generously participated in this project… thank you for

A selection of the pictures has been included in this video, and I’ve added some adequate sounds. We hope you will enjoy it.
