This is the second recorded and released session from the series of concerts entitled “Nocturna Discordia” that Discordian Records organizes every Wednesday since 2014 at Soda Acústic, Barcelona.
Tom Chant: tenor and soprano saxophones
Michał Dymny: electric guitar
Vasco Trilla: drums
Recorded live on March 7, 2018 at Nocturna Discordia #157 (Soda Acústic, Barcelona) by El Pricto.
This piece is an exploration of one single vaguely defined state. A state of suspension. Or bodies suspended, each vibrating to it’s own unique frequency.
The form of the piece is the state. The music is a description of the state, through sound. The performers are also the suspended bodies. And each body experiences a fluctuating state of internal tension in the act of describing this unchanging stasis.

There it is, the third album – after Crisis and Cook For Butch – of an amazing group of Iván González Memoria Uno. The name says everything about the author’s intentions and does so in virtually every language in the world. The group was formed to form the world of new exciting music, keeping in mind the multidimensional history of the art of improvisation, composition and directing, drawing from it, with enormous enthusiasm.
Every concert of Memoria Uno is a unique event both, due to the fact that the members of the orchestra change month to month, but also due to the personal and instrumental size, applied improvisation techniques, accumulation of musical personalities responsible for the final effect.
Ivan picks musicians for Memoria Uno who know his working methods well, but who at the same time are proficient enough improvisers to deal with every stage situation. The concert with Granollers proves it in its every second.
If the phenomenon of group improvisation has for years been the London Improvisers Orchestra, then the case of Memoria Uno proves that the competition on the European music scene is growing at a supersonic speed.
Before the original listening of this recording, you will not be provided with an extensive perception manual. Too many words could significantly limit your imagination. Immediately launch this disc and let every sound be a surprise!

Aquesta és la nostra primera mixtape on es recullen músiques dels primers dos anys de vida de Finis Africae.
Dels dels primers concerts que vam organitzar encara sense nom pel col.lectiu , que van ser al Convent de Sant Agustí i a l’Hangar i que juntament amb LaIsla , La Farinera, La Maceta o el Koitton Club han vist com apostàvem decididament per la música variada i oculta. I un exemple és el menú del K7. Moltes gràcies a tots els participants per haver construït dos anys de música majúscula escrita en lletra petita.
La Perfecció és Feixista!
