Cuerpo Astral in musical magazines

You can find us as Cuerpo Astral in the printed edition of  Mondo Sonoro and Rock de Luxe of this month.

































We leave you the entire interview that Fernando Fernández Rego made us.

Why Cuerpo Astral?
It comes from a verse of a theme: "you have a brutal body, an astral body". It was fun. Then the meanings came, but they are not especially important. In any case we are like a single thing that is a sum of several.

How does the group arise?
The three of us had known each other for years, sharing stages in the Galician scene.
Iñaki and Vane we have the band Os Gru and we appreciated the trajectory of Lúa that reminded us so much of Fátima Miranda! We had a lot of geometry and tastes in common. We already did some collaboration in "Ai Ruada".
The thing was coming, and in one of those, Lua was looking for Kefir of water in facebook, and we had plenty of it, so we stayed to give it, and it was when the project appeared.

In your music, although electronic music predominates, you mix all types of styles: copla, folk, hip hop, pop, reggaetón ...  even live you have a staging of theater, cabaret ... What are your influences? Is your sound fully defined already?
Our influences are all that happens around, and in space in general. Anything is susceptible of being material. We think of collage and image format. The three of us studied Fine Arts, and that ends up being noticed, for example in the way of composing or solving on the stage. There are also groups like Mecano, Parchís, Peor Imposible, Chico y Chica or Hidrogenesse, which have a lot to do with our way of understanding music and the scene. 
We have reflected a lot on our sound, and we have been molding it as if it were a sculptural material. We have used laser cutter, an anvil and a hammer.

Lúa, who is a commercial DJ, knows the mainstream music by heart, so we do not stop updating ourselves on types of sounds and perishable tendencies. Since the beginning of the internet we have not stopped researching electronic music that has ended up being present in almost all genres, in that wave lately we have coincided in things like Omniboi or Ehirobo. On the other hand we also love to rummage in the past, Raimond Scott, all the development of electronic dance to DubStep, or the sound of Lola Flores and oldschool recordings are some of the multiple references of the kind of sound we like.

Your first record "La primera vez" (The First Time) (Ferror, 2016) is a USB card full of surprises ... Are you so eccentric and original in everything? How did the idea come about?
It is a surprise envelope with many things and a usb card.
We had already done things like that, we love limited editions and that each person win a different thing. We love to personalize and tune with love and mischief.
We wanted to play with the idea of oracle, and with handing out small humble spaceships loaded with power.
Yes, we are eccentric and original, what is going to do.  x_x   *_*   o_o   
Why usb? The usb is the door of the present, we like to be pinched on the TV, in the car, to be pinched by the vein. As Jessi Bulbo says "I'll get to your house and you'll see, so saving your records will not be able to".

What is the closest future of Cuerpo Astral?
Now we are going to be presenting the album  "La primera vez". We have a lot of ideas parked, many of them will be coming out, others are now unfeasible because we do not have the means, if someone put them on it would be a non-stop.

Node of Galician initiatives #decrece2016
















The node of Galician initiatives is an activity framed within the Encuentro Transición Decrecimiento 2016 that will be celebrate in Betanzos during the days 29, 30 and 31 of October.
All the info and registrations at https://transiciondecrecimiento2016.wordpress.com/

This node or workgroup
intends to group people of Galician initiatives related to the transition and to the decrease in the broadest sense. The objectives are: to know and place each other. To share knowledge and experiences, problems and solutions, failures and sucesses. And to strengthen and to hatch networks of initiatives.

The dynamics that we want to implement are:
1) Presentation and mapping of local initiatives.
 Each participant will present itself (sucesses and failures) and will be mapped saying  "what he knows how to do /what he wants to learn".
2) Problems and solutions. Dynamic in that we will play to find problems or  common
concerns and possible solutions.
3) To activate
a possible time bank, possible collaborations and network projects. To activate calendars for winter activities.
4)
Presentation of results to the rest of the meeting participants. (10 minutes)
We have to ride between all!

Confirm your attendance and bring things.


Mobile equipment of honey extraction



It is a documentary about the work of extracting honey in October 2016.
A small team of three people is involved in beekeeping in different houses and places in the region of Betanzos and Eume in Galicia.
It tell us how the yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) is affecting the production of honey in this region. It shows the transfer of intergenerational knowledge about beekeeping and the social and cultural recovery of community work.












Presentation Dio3stu in Galicia Maker Faire

We leave you some photos and a video of the performance of Dio3stu in Galicia Maker Faire / Maker Faire Galicia, Santiago de Compostela.










Dio3stu's performance in Maker Faire Galicia

On Saturday, 1st of October , at 16:00 p.m. we will perform at Maker Faire Galicia as Dio3stu.
Our presentation/performance will consist in explain what is the circuit bending and show the operation of different machines made with this technique.

Circuit-bending is a type of electronic art that bases its procedures on the creative short-circuit. This art form represents a catalytic force in the exploration of sound material capable of creating new musical forms at an unknown speed. This technique is undoubtedly the simplest way of designing instruments, sculptures or electronic installations.

The approximate duration is 1 hour, and we will articulate it in 3 parts.
The first part is didactic, we explain basically the circuit bending technique

The second part is to invite a small group of people from the public to interact with different machines, guiding them to explore its possibilities openly and intuitively. We will mount a "tactile shepherd" on the spot, a device that consists of several strings that, when you play them, or touch the people who are playing them, produce sounds. It is what we call "body-contact", processes in which our body acts as variable resistance. We will also invite volunteers to relate to other types of variable resistances such as photosensitive cells.
The third part is musical and consists of playing three or four pieces / songs with different devices, instruments and machines of Dio3stu.
