Dystopian 002 by Luís Antero / Blear Moon

🏴 'Dystopian 002' is a split release between the sound artists Blear Moon and Luís Antero, and it is part of the 'Dystopian series', showcasing a more abstract, darker, obscure and politically infused side of the sound of élan vital artist roster. Inspired by everyday life in the last several years living in realized dystopian visions and darkest predictions, the sound on this series will be the soundtrack for our daily dystopian reality. We are all aware that the future of our civilization is not bright, but that doesn't mean we are not living in an exciting epoch.

🏳️ The second part, again brings two longer pieces, presenting the dark side of the latest experiments of the Czech ambient artist Blear Moon and the long form field recordings experiences of the Portuguese sound art naturalist Luís Antero. Blear Moon's latest project, 'Kinomat', is based on the sounds of various vintage movies that were collected on cassette tape and used as building materials for improvised collage that was created during live situation, while Luís Antero's 'Ori' consists of field recordings from his village and other places where he usually walks with his daughter Oriana, mixing them with ambient electric guitar, creating an acoustic representation of the father/daughter relationship. Through this joint release the artists are trying to explore the potential for change of the society, resulting in a mature, expressive and complex album.
