We are a very open minded platform seeking to present to the world a wide range of ways to work within what’s being known for the last few years as sound art.
Audiotalaia might be considered a netlabel (just because we operate online), it can be also considered a traditional label, a booking agency and even an event production company. Audiotalaia goes around the whole cultural process, from promoting an emergent artist and releasing his work as a free download until programming concerts or producing or own festival. Finally, through all this activity, Audiotalaia aims to present this kind of music to the world. It has been always important to do a certain pedagogy towards the audience and towards artists so Audiotalaia will always be focused on a very basic idea: we want you to listen to new things, different things, strange things and familiar, but ultimately: to listen.

Mursego (Eibar, Spain)

Mursego.....exploring the edges. Skimming the surfaces. Existing in the space between the planes. Chaotic in close-up, beautifully ordered in the wider picture. A vision like nothing we've ever seen before, yet one that seems strangely familiar - perhaps from deep within our own subconscious minds......

Verde from Mursegokeriak ( rarezas ), released June 1, 2013 - the most striking piece of music I've heard in some time; stunningly beautiful. More to be said here, but...... wow, just breathtakingly beautiful, so poignant.  Is this "saudade"?  If so, what an astonishing emotion; more like a bouquet of emotions.

Gimu & Eeem [eim] - Analogue by the Lake

Gimu & Eeem [eim] - Analogue by the Lake
Format: 3 X File
Released: 22 February 2015
Genre: Electronic
Style: Ambient

Gimu & Eeem [eim] joined forces to create that 3-tracks story "Analogue by the Lake".
The collaboration starts from a few days at a Finnish cottage by a lake, goes around via Brazil /Gimu's home and comes around via China where Eeem lives for this year.
"Analogue" is for "Oberheim SEM" and "Minimoog" which are producing most of the sound textures those tracks lay on. But also for the French "analogue" i.e. "qui présente de l'analogie, des rapports de similitude avec une autre chose": as if music was a universal form of sharing and elaboration across great distances.

Those tracks extend from the contemplation of the nature to an expression of our fragile life's expectations, but we hope, as well looking forward to the future.

 Eeem [eim] Helsinki, Finland; Sound designer and ambient storyteller. Field recordist. Cubase specialist. WCDMA expert. Wine and food lover. No Facebook account, yes.
More info: http://eeem.net/
bandcamp: http://eeem.bandcamp.com/

Gimu is a Brazilian based sound artist. Gimu is no stranger to music.
With over 20 years of expansive musical exposure, Gimu's experimental sound has been influenced by many genres as well as being composed of completely original textures.
He has graced us with dark ambient, haunting and beautiful drones, atmospheric subtlety and other experimental sounds.

Cello + Laptop (Sara Galán & Edu Comelles) - Segments

"So after almost one year here we have a small grasp of what was hidden in the closet a thorough selection of four little gems we have kept for a long time. Those are the outcome of various recordings done in Valencia. All pieces are segments of longer live improvisations between cello and live electronics. The process of work, as usual, is a two-ways stream of cello lines and the re-appropriation of those same string lines, and the dance and dialogue that happens in real time."

Cello + Laptop (Sara Galán & Edu Comelles) - Segments
Label: Audiotalaia ‎– at078

Cello+Laptop is an experimental ensemble exploring the sound dialogues between classical instrumentation with electronic sound. The project was born in Valencia (Spain) and consists in a series of experimental compositions mixing the ambient sonorities of Edu Comelles projects and the textures and acoustic of the cello by Sara Galán.

Xenoton - Traveller

Xenoton ‎– Traveller
Label: TonAtom ‎– tonAtom.137
Format: 7 × File, FLAC, Album
Country: Germany
Released: 15 Mar 2015
Genre: Electronic
Style: Electro
Artwork – Laura Marie Reinwarth
Photography By – Laura Marie Reinwarth

The tracks on "Traveller" do without striking effects and fashionable frills. instead the listener can expect clean elaborate electro sounds that focus on an aspect that has been put aside in many other places: composition and melodics. the songs deploy these features to tell us about moods that oscillate between wanderlust, homesickness, well-being and mere existence."Traveller" is deliberately less percussive and emphasizes the narrative facetes of the melodies.
This album, although almost classical at its core, develops its very own modernity.  The combination of highly pleasing feel-good components  and tension-building bass and lead lines develops the typical Xenoton charm.

The two
remixes complement this release excellently. Both reinterpret the
original track in their very own ways by adding something new to the
already described characteristics. Abjective adds some ruptured unrest
to "camden lock" revealing a somewhat different aspect of the track. Weldroid quite properly underlines the rocking (or at least
head-nodding) character of "friedrichshain" with massive beats. Both
remixes are not added just for being there but they add fascinating
aspects to Xenoton's music and enhance the whole release.
 


Listening to "Traveller" is fun, while repeated listenings reward through
the discovery of new details. It is highly recommended to go on the next
part of the journey with this travel guide.
