"Vitriol's work here is a surprising electronic soundscape with many shifts
and nuances. Rich digital tones, sparse sounds, clicks and crackles mix with
various found sounds, creating an atmosphere of digital detachment and
distance. The arrangements are never predictable and full of details and
subtle movements, which makes the listening experience more rewarding
each time I've put this disc in my player. Sounds great; let's keep our eyes and
ears peeled." (Richard di Santo - Incursion Music)
“Vitriol is the longstanding project of Paulo Raposo and Carlos Santos. Based
in Lisbon-Portugal, this association has been active since the early nineties in
the field of electronic and improvised music. Their work is characterized as
abstract and detailed, organic and detached, focusing in a delicate balance
between experience and cognition.
The piece Randonée 0.06 derives from a live intervention for the Internet
event 'Le Placard: Headphone Room', organized by the Buro association
(Paris) and transmitted from the art gallery ZDB in Lisbon.Proposing a vast
series of concerts, performances and real-time diffusions, "the idea came out
of a desire of finding new ways to diffuse and listen to electronic music:
bringing out a relationship in between time / work / diffusion. Randonée 0.06
departs with a series of digital manipulative processes over field recordings
from familiar open spaces to create an intricate and organic soundscape,
where coordinates are erased and
de-territorialized, leaving the listeners' perception?open to find his own
(imaginary) space. An Intimate space.
The project Vitriol has been active in the local scene for over ten years. Their
performances range from computer duets to expanded improvisation
performances with acoustic instruments. they've also been strongly involved
in other media such as video, dance and site-specific installations. Paulo
Raposo won the BES prize in 1996 for his intermedia project 'rhizomes'
premiered at Phil Nibllock's Intermedia foundation in new york. He has created
sound installations like "arcanae rumore" for the museum of electricity in
Lisbon where he attached loudspeakers in the top of the industrial ashtrays
playing with the memory of the space. Vitriol was present in the ICMC2000,
Berlin." (Sirr)
