In 2010, after a long period of sound inactivity, I was surfing the internet looking for information on what was being done in the field of experimental music, electronic music, sound art, etc., and I found a net label called Thrmnphone (Madrid, Spain). I was struck by the aesthetics they showed and after taking a few listens to what they offered, I became completely enthusiastic about the sound concept they offered, very different from what I was used to listening to. Live performance, 2008 One of the projects that captivated me the most was its Línea Beta/Betaphone, where there was a series of works called Prueba Thrmnphone (Thrmnphone test), It's about six tests containing what I think it's about, sound test, of which I have made a mix for Electronic Cottage in homage to these works that once again encouraged me to experiment again with the sounds. Well, although it really is not a conventional mix, I believe. I have exclusively used the sounds of the Thrmnphone editions without adding any other sound or effect, but I have taken certain liberties.
I got in contact with the people who were behind Thrmnphone, and they offered me the possibility to release some of my works (IQCM para Thrmnphone - Días Sonoros) on their label, collaborating later in other projects. But who are these people? Antonio B. Sánchez and Hertz Volta, who apart from their personal projects, form the duo Equipo Elevador, an active project since the 90's of electroacoustic music, concrete music, radio art, installations and performance. Live performance, 1999 A few months ago they sent me the CD edition made by Alina Records (Madrid, Spain) of their work "Maximum Electroacustic", which can also be downloaded and listened for free online. The Maximum Electroacoustic CD received How they themselves say of their work: "Maximum electroacoustic" is a work of the Equipo Elevador composed during the summer of 2014 and premiered live in Madrid in a first version with electronic devices and instrumentation on September 20 of the same year for the opening of the season 2014 of the Alina Cycle. Subsequently, in the recording, different studio shots were used following the classical pattern -principle, node and outcome-. The composition, completed in its definitive electroacoustic form, was re-released on June 11, 2016 in Zaragoza during the Radical Festival dB. This work is not created with a specific intention, but rather, with a free intention, in which the listener should interpret what he sees fit, this does not mean that the work contains a message, which, we allow ourselves not to disclose. visual intervention of the Equipo Elevador visual intervention of the Equipo Elevador
