about

Time for our 5th tape and back to new Portuguese acts, now with the debut tape “A System of Circles And Spheres” by Phonophilia Research Lab - triggered by Duarte Maltez (The Landscape Pavilion) and João Pinto. A kind of soft mecanische orgel musik, for the digital era, based in endless marathons at their studio.
A fine soundtrack for your headphones at the planetarium or that Olympic cycling in the frozen daybreak.
Space Age imagery and its endless futuristic aesthetics have influenced a lot of musicians since mid 20th century. Much of it was indeed seminal or prophetic, others were just Post-war optimism feeding the Hi-Fi boom. After the Italian vague of supernatural organs (magic chords, galactic or cosmic presets) comes the Japanese invasion of The Church of Synthology and all collapsed into the one-fingering keyboardists with endless presets - new protagonists for a presumed future music. The backbone is now the transistor (hail the new king) and waveforms are now dressed in fashion design clothes.
Synth-driven music, a shimmer of moonlight and a background for skywatchers annual dinner - telescope it!
