20.07.2011 Sant Feliu de Guixols

Wonderful concert in an abandoned hospital in the centre of Sant Feliu de Guixols. The decoration they had come up with was all the x-mas-decoration from town stuffed together!! Best sound since a long time, the sound guy had some custom made subwoofers that made yummy bass (that's the company: www.nouso.net) . Hooray. The white whine was excellent, thank you, Luz, for bringing me another bottle to the stage! The party afterwards was wild. Breakfast was yummy again (tostadas with tahima and honey). Then we got invited for an exclusive visit of an exhibition of sound installations by Luthiers Drapaires. Excellent stuff, we especially love the Maquina de Amor that has been at several festivals where we played lately.

Then to finish our visit we had a nice swim at this beach, just around the corner. And excellent lunch on a parking lot in the harbour. Thanks  a million to Stefan and Barbora for driving us

Picnic!

From our friend Helena Acosta we received this little video from our performance on last year's "Paradis Perdut"-picnic. This makes me

think that we really should play another picnic in some park here in Barcelona. Anyone up to organize such event with us?

Lleida! Y Reus!

Tomorrow, saturday 30 of april we play in Reus. And on monday 9th of may we play on a balcony in Lleida! Nice poster!

Generative music with Max4Live

Here is a little set for Ableton Live that uses the new max4live devices to generate a monotonous but everchanging ambient-tune. It uses only one sample from a kickdrum to make sounds of clicks, bass, pads and a theremin. You need the latest version of ableton live and max4live to open it.

26.03.2011 Fifth Anniversary of the NIU

Our favourite place in Barcelona - the NIU - is five years old now. We play a tribute session for it! Together with Marti doing visuals and David making his Impossible-presentation in his impossible style.

23.03.2011 World Water day with viva con aqua

We play on the World Water Day. Friends of us started the spanish section of "Viva Con Agua", a NGO that works for worldwide free access to drinking water. The party they made in the Raval located Freedonia was a blast. After us there was a Rumba-band and a tapdance-hip-hop-freestyle session going on.

Paul Rose - "Works for Theatre" out now on bandcamp

A selection of music and score done for theatre and dance, all composed and produced by Institut FATIMA's Paul Rose is available now on our bandcamp-site. (or listen to it via the player below).

Barcelona based musician Paul Rose presents a selection of tracks from works he did for theatre plays, choreographies and installations. In 2007 he collaborated in the first of an ongoing series of plays with set-designer Maria Pons and director Beatriz Liebe. "Agnus Lupus" was a play, but also an instalation that the audience was invited to visit after seeing the performance (Instituto del teatro, Barcelona, 2007). For "Mon Amour" was a play based on M. Dumas' "Hiroshima Mon Amour". The stage set was based on 5 isles that during the days after the performance worked as automated installations, with music, sound, light and robotics involved (Strobe-festival, Amposta, Spain, 2008). The third play/installation that Paul worked on was called "Palabres Alaudes" - A multichannel audio-theatre-installation that was on display at Convent de San Agusti, Barcelona, in december 2009.

With choreographer Angela Lamprianidou he worked on various dance- and performance-pieces. Here we can hear excerpts from "Shortcuts" (2008), "Sit" (2010) and "Shortcuts Collagen" (2011). The plays have been performed at various theaters in Spain and Germany.
