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.

This is the album with the eighth global call for Microtopies. The Microtopies are sonic miniatures that shape a special edition of Radio Música i Geografía (Ràdio Gràcia FM, Barcelona), the weekly radio program 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 69 pieces from 11 countries. Now, we invite you to take this journey. You will enjoy the maximum quality of sound recorded by the authors. Don’t listen to them by your computer loudspeakers but rather plug them in a decent sound system or put on good headphones otherwise you will miss a lot of sounds and frequencies… Good trip! Gràcia Territori Sonor wants to acknowledge all the artists who have generously participated in this project… thank you for making these Microtopies

He does not play in public much lately and for that reason it was a great opportunity to see the direction that is taking the work of Juan Crek. And it was great to see that he is in good shape and exploring the always challenging territory of noise, backed in this occasion by multifaceted Llapispanc. An intense concert-performance.
