More Info "David Velez is a Colombian sound artist who uses field recordings to capture the "breathing", the "murmur" of places and how these affect him. Currently residing in Bogotá he is pursuing a Master in Fine Arts where is interest lies in sound installations... particularly receptive to his environment, David has learnt a lot from it, trying to reproduce its textures, hidden sense, and the resulting emotions... perfectioning their own language, his creations are highly evoking abstract sound dioramas with a universal scope. His works so far have been published both physically on Ripples Recordings, SiRiDisc, and digitally through Test Tube, Audio Gourmet, Rain Music, and Impulsive Habitat of which he is besides a co-managing editor... For MS, David composed perhaps his most ambitious work to date, a double album based on his interaction with water in all of its forms (steam, fog, rain, sea, river, snow...) during his stay in Brooklyn... ~ Muffled life, twisted reality Rain spattering some decrepit walls & assorted junk... The whirring of tired motors, reminiscences of long gone moments, of something inscribed within... Broken windy days...tracing paths, "Bay ridge" is about sensing what lies out of vision, a strange palpation of the non tangible, the gain of new colours... Soaked echoes, trails of an other creeping world, "Bay ridge" scrutinizes the everyday, rooting out its shadow zones... Our memories are dust... Halos of sound linger on like obstinate clouds... "Bay ridge" helps to lift the veil and to listen to all rushing streams & filigree flows... so much waiting to burst, sleeping in tacit alliance... Decipher the scenery, and feel on the same line..."
