Fluo Sobre
The debut album from Fluo Sobre is produced on the concept of red and blue color spectrum. Fluo Sobre produces and plays on machines which are more than 35 years old, still using 3.5 discs to charge the samples and work with sequences in 12bits, to obtain a nostalgic, analogical, Sci-fi Wave, 80's sound.
It’s a long process of programming and sound research, which he has
developed over several years working for Radio France International, his band
Voie 81 and in his studio based in Paris and Barcelona.
Video and photo are recycled art,
a creative work made from discarded materials mixed with acrylic pouring fluid painting technique, applied to vinyl on a turntable. The shape and waves obtained, are a mixture of the speed, weight and fluidity of the painting, as well as the play of the arm and the diamond during the process.

I’m preparing a multimedia exhibition for early 2023 which will bring together a series of unique pouring vinyls, recycled turntable vinyl, tape recorders and mannequins that fit in to this process.
This event will be accompanied by multimedia TVs that would show the “behind the scenes” with videos of the operation.
