Rossano Snel: Landscape

Although released last April, Brazilian producer Rossano Snel‘s solo 4-track EP Landscape has been on rotation in our offices this week. Some of you may remember Snel as one of three winners from The Creators Project’s first ever recording session contest this past January. The funky instrumental tunes on this EP are a far cry from the dub-influenced, electronic tracks Snel and his two collaborators concocted during their week in the studio here in NYC (watch our video documentary here), but they similarly collide a variety of genres, balancing piano melodies and dynamic percussion beats to clearly highlight Snel’s tremendous musical talent.

Lluis Panades Julia: Accumbens

Specialized in reworking extensive collections of found video footage, Lluis Panades Julia mixed this three-piece video art project Accumbens from clips of ‘80s musical variety TV show Soul Train. Transformed and edited entirely through various video-distorting filters, the resulting liquidized abstraction showcases colorful orb-shaped layers. The final production represents Julia’s interpretation of the nucleus accumbens, which functions to regulate rewarding and pleasurable emotions in human beings.

Marcos Montane: Magnetic Mountain

Argentinean art director Marcos Montane tackles procedural design, generative graphics, and sound visualization in his latest audio-responsive experiment Magnetic Mountain. Using 3D projection software Houdini Apprentice and node-based compositor Nuke, Montane tracks The Flashbulb‘s “Eyes of June” to transform sound waves into a visual ice cream-colored prism of geometric waves, stretching in size with the audio’s composition.
