Javier Maderuelo - Madrid Vivo (Colectivo Cyan, 1982)

Javier Maderuelo, professor of art, belonged to "ZACH" experimental art group, together with José Luis Castillejo. Both were linked to the movement "FLUXUS" .

I guess Maderuelo worked with Francisco Felipe and Jose Iges and other names of conteporary art.

'Madrid Vivo es una obra musical creada expresamente para ambientar una exposición: "Sólo Madrid Arte Joven", que el colectivo CYAN realizó sobre el tema de Madrid.

Se trata de una música de amueblamiento que cumple una función determinada, y no de una mera ilustración sonora.'

Madrid Vivo is the musical work created to host an exhibition "Sólo Madrid Arte Joven" by collective CYAN on the theme of Madrid. The music has distinguished role in a performance, it's not  merely a sound base.

Limited edition of 100 copies.

Thank you, Francisco Lopez.

Felix Menkar - Primer Ejercicio (Las Cintas Del Fin - LCDF 04, C50, 1986)

Dreaming, visual by Felix Menkar, 2013 

Felix Menkar was born in Barcelona and lives in Valencia since 1990. 

Field researcher, diver between words and images, resistant recalcitrant critical companion, creator of links between art and poetry, between generations, ideologies and aesthetic. 

Total non-art art as objective, respect as praxis, curiosity as impulse, heterodoxy as limit, the imperfection as model, life as stage combat.

'Felix Menkar nació en Barcelona y reside en Valencia desde 1990. Investigador de la esfera, buceador entre palabras en imágenes, recalcitrante resistente y compañero crítico, creador de nexos entre arte y poesía, entre generaciones, ideologías y estetícas. El no-arte total como objectivo, el respeto como praxis, la curiosidad como impulso, la heterodoxia como limite, la imperfeccion como modelo, la vida como escenario del combate.'

Thanks to Francisco Lopez's archive.

Ambulatorio Segreto - Cardiotrak / Neuroconnector (Toracic Tapes, 1990)

A collaboration named Ambulatorio Segreto is a project which constitute three marvellous musicians Siegmar Fricke from Wilhelmshaven (North West Germany), Miguel A. Ruiz from Madrid (Spain) and Stefano Barban from Cavazzale (North Italy), the trio whom we are thankful for an impressive music on k7 back in the end of 80's / early 90's as well as they all left us a great casket of tracks under different pseudos (either as solo projects and collaborations). Their nine?+ cassettes were released on Toracic Tapes and Bestattungsinstitut and two of them I've heard so far differ from each other a lot.

In short, Cardiotrack / Neuroconnector is a smooth electronic release permeated with emphasized funky beats, vocal samples and a sufficient dose of gloom that was mixed in Toracic Studio (Madrid) in September. For an unknown reason I felt enormous pleasure listening to it in a car at night as an intro to another release I like to call it's younger fraternal twin - Alaska Show by Doc Wor Mirran and De Fabriek.

Noche En Bombay - Primer Catálogo De Rumores (El Consumo Del Miedo, 1980)

"In Memoriam" Louis Bromfield, en el centenario de su nacimiento.

Noche En Bombay is a side project devoted to manipulated field recordings by Spanish sound and video artist Rafael Flores, also known as Comando Bruno, ECDM and collaborator with Diseno Corbusier (accurately, he participate in their three tracks and when he left the group, Javier appears), an avant-garde electronic project along with his companions Ani Zinc and Javier G. Marin. His inexhaustible activity is noted in a lot of solo releases, collaborations with cult artists of experimental music and cult cassette labels.
It's unknown on how many compilations Flores contributated his work as Noche En Bombay. The only one I'm familiar with is International Sound Communication Compilation Volume 12 (26 July 1986) compiled and distributed as a mail art project by Andi Xport from Peterborough, England in the mid 1980s.
Primer Catalogo De Rumores is a neat musical experimentation that in a way made me think of earliest Maurizio Bianchi.
