TRM PODCAST 059 | Notzing Live PA

TRAUMA

When Dario Garcia started to design his own sounds, his first obsession was to being able to use frequencies to induce altered states of consciousness to those who listen. Psychoacoustics, low and high frequencies, experimental equalizations and heavy post-processes are some of the resources he has been always working around in his different projects to cause different somatizations to the listener. Notzing is the project to develop this idea in form of useful mental tools, created to being used in long mixes, powerful quadraphonic sound systems and a bunch of listeners. When these conditions are met, the project background makes sense. The Notzing project compositions usually are monotones complex loops, with a repetitive rhythm oscillating. The purpose is to make easier the trance induction and to give more freedom to the creative process and sound design on live performances to overlap layers of sounds, textures and to develop a unique sound. It’s a way to empower the complexity of the rest of the sounds and the space where these are placed in the mix. Some of his works under this artistic project has been released on record labels like Circular Limited, Awry, Edit Select Records, Subosc, Koryu Budo or the Knotzept institution which is considered as his home. This live performance act is a studio improvisation created for the Trauma Collective as appreciation for their work. A narcotic and sedative trip to lose the mind during half an hour, full of textures, and organic liquid sounds from another dimension.
