Nova Materia - In The Footsteps Of Xpujil (Made To Measure Vol. 45.3) (2023) [Hi-Res]

An original, 6-part piece commissioned by renowned Parisian digital arts centre La Gaîté Lyrique, this album was recorded during special performances at la Gaîté and reworked in their studios. In the Footsteps of Xpujil features collaborations with artist/writer Agnès Gayraud (voice), Gaspar Claus (cello), Myako (electronics) and Cosmic Neman (percussion).
The piece is an extension of Xpujil, Nova Materia’s immersive album based on binaural recordings made by the duo during a journey in the Mexican jungle (towards the ruins of the Maya city of Xpujil), which were then processed and transformed. The resulting album blurred the borders between music, field recordings and psychoacoustic trance, in a spirit close to that of acoustic ecology.
