Diálogos Táctiles [2007]
Project: Diálogos Táctiles
Category: Sound Art, Video
Period: July 2007
Event: Binauralmedia.org Art Residency
The Project I present is based on the interaction between the artist and the Nodar landscape, besides the simple field recording, in which the artist acts just like a mere spectator. In this case, I seek to develop a set of “dialogues with the landscape” and not just “on the landscape”, recording the sounds generated by the physical contact (percussive) with different kinds of vegetation (trees, bushes, plants) and ground (soil, stones, water), and additionally taken as intermediary other elements that are not from the landscape but are present in it (objects left by their inhabitants). I will then build improvised rhythms and structures (the ones that arise from the dialogue) that will be used as source material for a later digital process. Each action will arise from the natural attraction between the photographic look and the texture of each element of the landscape (that I will accomplish on a first visual recognition and from which a photo dossier will be made), bearing in mind the ability of each element to generate sound, besides it’s plasticity. After the sound actions are made with the chosen elements, I want to later decontextualize the result, manipulating it digitally in order to extract the desired musicality. A third part of the project will be made of video actions based on the previous actions an recordings.

Far Afield [2005]
Uveaele - Lava D´or
VV.AA. Far Afield - Webbed hand records 055
"The idea behind this compilation was to challenge phonographers and musicians to find a middle ground between their two crafts by sculpting field recordings into creative compositions without using traditional instrumentation (unless captured in the field). The terms passive to describe the phonographers process of capturing sound and active to describe the composers process were used; however, this sparked a great debate over how passive the phonographers craft is. In reality, phonography can be quite active in the choices of location and timing of the recordings, the placement and movement of the microphones, etc. However, in relative terms, the phonographers product is rarely as ordered as a musicians composition and a composers product utilizes sounds that are generated for his or her specific purpose. This compilation allotted the artists the opportunity to find a middle ground in the realm of musique concrete.

O Forno das Formulacións [2005]
[ALG012] - uveaele - O forno das formulacións
the album concept starts with a journey to the "santa mariña de augas santas" underground chapell, called "o forno" in allariz (ourense, spain). mysterious place where the water flows on the floor, under an arched dome and an absolute darkness.
Five manipulations of a single field recording in the basement of the chapel, give way to the only album of this Valle´s audio project "Uveaele"
