José María Pastor Sánchez (Spain) José María Pastor Sánchez nace en Elche (Alicante-España) en 1969, y se considera músico siempre y cuando el hecho de trabajar con “sonidos” se pueda considerar motivo suficiente para serlo (músico). En la actualidad y después de haber estudiado en distintos lugares (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante) improvisación, percusión, creación experimental, electroacústica, y algún que otro curso en el LIEM, esta trabajando en diversos proyectos relacionados con el arte sonoro (paisaje sonoro, electroacústica, improvisación con ordenador, instalaciones, performances). Todas las grabaciones de campo, así como su posterior edición y mezcla, están realizadas bajo dos ideas fundamentales en mi trabajo: Aleatoriedad e improvisación. La aleatoriedad me permite re descubrirme a cada instante, y la improvisación me permite la creación sin reflexión condicionada por cánones estéticos prefijados.

François-Emmanuel Fodéré (France) Born in mysterious circumstances, his talent was discovered so late that he was not able to attend schools or universities. François-Emmanuel acquired his musical knowledge while travelling to various countries. Some of his musical education was learned from strange situations and experiences. The protection of his benefactor (the French netlabel La p'tite maison) presented him with the opportunity to get a free position. His distinguished charostics were developed by his curiosity on the contrast between natural and urban sounds. “Go draw something fantastic on the ground, to reveal the power of nature and Spirit. Try to show that madness is nothing other than part of reality.” The mixture of human and natural sounds has always been regarded as a desecration; which has remained discrete during his travels. Some say they have seen him wearing a cape. Equipped with a small bag and leather's shoes as flexible as possible, he wanders and weaves a web between memory and dream. He recently began to travel the world in search of troglobian... The research of his investigations are still available on various netlabels. His first albums were published on the netlabel earsheltering in 2007. "3priiises" was one of the collaborative records that was created with three other friends.
MZ-N710 (France) "I started recording sounds five years ago in Auvergne, a place in France where I go on holidays since I was seven. In the moutains, more than a thousand meters high, the sounds of nature are very pure, without disturbances from man activities. I began there, and then recorded near the place where I live, a small town which is much more noisy ! And so on, in different areas, such as forests, near rivers, and by the sea... When you have caught the virus you can't stop." (for another releases of the same artist, please visit earsheltering)
