about

CD self-released by Haarvöl with music created for the commissioned audio/visual work "The Oblivion's Wordless Knot" for The Family Film Project in Porto, November 2017.
Comes with photo booklet in lovely 6 panel artwork.

Release notes:
The media times of our self-absorved present seek instantaneity. A time that cancels time. Times that affirm forgetfulness as the necessary matrix for the perpetuation of the present. A present time that makes a continuous act of presence.

The work that is now shown wants to reflect on the three dimensions of time: past, present and future. It looks back deliberately to know how to look forward. The anesthesia of the present strives to put disturbances of time and space at a distance. Forgetfulness and fragility of memory play a determining role.

Among the many forms of "rebellious times", some are absolutely forgotten and in deep ignorance. This is the case of the Galician guerrilla known as "Maqui".
The maquis have been active in Galicia since the end of the Spanish Civil War until the late sixties. Among them, some were arrested, tortured and murdered by the police. Like the case of Benigno Andrade, known as Foucellas. Guerrillero active until his death by execution inside the prison in the year of 1952.

It is from this context that we developed the work "The Oblivion's Wordless Knot". As always in our work, the abstraction of sounds is combined with the reality of the images that accompany them. And yet, far from any mutual illustrative character. Sounds that contribute decisively to the thickening of images and images that produce the necessary memory activation effect. An approximation to the "archival impulse" as an operative proposition.

A combinatorial of sounds and images that escape the levels of the time in which they are formatted. Analogical or digital according to the narrative needs present and, therefore, freed from the pressure of time. The results refer to an apparently paradoxical condition of healthy conviviality between an idea of obsolescence and the ability to risk. It will, moreover, be that resilient unity (to the dissolution of time, and hence of the contemplative and reflective possibility) that it will be possible to build what we call contemporaneity. That's where we want to be and in the shape of rebellious times... again.

My Seattle winter morning soundtrack. Pre-dawn tones sifting into consciousness. Cradling my coffee mug, light slowly gathers in the southeast as choir-like waves of music swell and collide between purity and rumble. Finally it all subsides into a warm, room-filling drone, as hummingbirds joust outside for positions at the feeder. - 𝐈𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐮𝐥𝐣
