More Info Das Projekt des SIRR-Label Betreibers Paolo Raposo mit einer eigentümlichen Soundwelt, bestehend aus allen möglichen field reocrdings, die mit elektronischen Klängen zu kurzen eindrucksvollen Stücken verwoben werden. „Vitriol is the longstanding project of Paulo Raposo and Carlos Santos. Based in Lisbon-Portugal, this association has been active since the early nineties in the field of electronic and improvised music. Their work is characterized as abstract and detailed, organic and detached, focusing in a delicate balance between experience and cognition. The piece 'randonée 0.06' derives from a live intervention for the Internet event "Le Placard: Headphone Room", organized by the Buro association (Paris) and transmitted from the art gallery ZDB in Lisbon. Proposing a vast series of concerts, performances and real-time diffusions, "the idea came out of a desire of finding new ways to diffuse and listen to electronic music: bringing out a relationship inbetween time / work / diffusion. 'Randonée 0.06' departs with a series of digital manipulative processes over soundfield recordings from familiar open spaces to create an intricate and organic soundscape, where coordinates are erased and deterritorialized, leaving the listeners' perception open to find his own (imaginary) space. An intimate space. The project Vitriol has been active in the local scene for over ten years. Their performances range from computer duets to expanded improvisation performances with acoustic instruments. they've also been strongly involved in other media such as video, dance and site-specific installations. Paulo Raposo won the BES prize in 1996 for his intermedia project "rhizomes" premiered at Phil Nibllock's Intermedia foundation in new york. He has created sound installations like "arcanae rumore" for the museum of electricity in Lisbon where he attached loudspeakers in the top of the industrial ashtrays playing with the memory of the space. Vitriol was present in the ICMC2000, Berlin with Jeremy Bernstein (live-video).” [press release]
