Neumática

Neumática is the duo of Pablo Rega, working with handmade electronic devices, and Alfredo Costa Monteiro, using pickups on a turntable. The musicians developed a distinctive approach to live electronic improvisation in Barcelona.

Alud (CS070) was recorded in June 2005 in Barcelona and comprises three extended pieces. The release documents an improvised language made from simple electronic materials and transformed mechanical sound.

Rather than traditional instrumental melody, the duo focuses on delicate changes in noise, electrical oscillation, sustained density and timbral detail.
