Audition Records[1] is e-magazine project born in Berlin in 2010. Audition Records[1] focusing efforts on publishing[2] and promoting artists working on sound improvisation and electroacoustic music. Audition Records is curated by Julian Bonequi,[3] musician and activist living in Berlin until march 2011. Currently the base of Audition Records is in Barcelona.The philosophy of this new proposal aims to open a new space on the netaudio community focused on improvised music and live recordings of events and concerts all around the world. And as a mobile project, collecting concerts and concepts around the strong scene based in Europe. Audition Records is a series of documents centered on different compositional approaches of Free Jazz, Noise and all kind of Experimental and improvised music performances.
History
The project was born on January 15, 2010, after Audioatalaia published the release Machinations of Joy[4] which Julian Bonequi is former artist. Since that, Edu Comelles[5]( the Coordinator of Audioatalaia) and Julian Bonequi (project manager & curator of Audtion Records) create a exclusive space for the denominated improvised music scene, without matters of the semantic school or the stylistic signature of the musicians.
Audiotalaia Netlabel is a project founded with the aim to release and promote the work from spanish artists and resident musicians working in Spain. They search for proposals in experimental sound composition, ambient music and electronic music. Audiotalaia was born from a previous project called Talaies Sonores. This project was based on the idea of dialoguing between sound composition and landscape. According to this, they look after artists working on an electronic media framework but keeping an eye into the natural world, the landscape and the environment.[6]
The first Audition Records, with no connection to the Audition Records based in Berlin, was sold in October 1959 by Enoch Light to ABC-Paramount Records. Audition Records was a record label located in Nashville, Tennessee.
