2500 by VelgeNaturlig
"The artist VelgeNaturlig (real name Ivo São Bento) combines dense, improvised sound environments and the use of analog machines to explore introspective audiovisual landscapes.
This work, released by MiMi Records, carries the listener through industrial and ephemeral soundscapes, where metallic drones and subtle pulses narrate without words. Its intimate, ritualistic atmosphere reveals a rare aesthetic — austere beauty and constant tension.
A demanding yet rewarding work — for those who seek deep immersion and creative silence."
Recorded live on December 22nd, 2023, at KIC (Kulturno informativni centar) in Zagreb, during 'Ambientalika'.

Ivo São Bento | exploratory sound artist and aural composer.
Creating a variation of aural environments - pleasant, immersive and bright as well as dense, heavy, dissonant and unexpected.
From vast and ever-evolving musical spaces, multi-layered with processed sounds, field recordings and electro acoustic elements to simplistic and purposely crafted sonic soundscapes, using old analogue machines.
