Be it regarded as experimental publishing, or otherwise, simply as the return to the split strategy of the vinyl in a digital medium, the Product releases work as mini-compilations that stand from the synergy between both works, turning the release not in a mere sum of parts but rather in an emergent product of them.

Ok.Suitcase: 04 and 04 1101-6.mov
André Gonçalves started improvising and manipulating sound in 1999 having as main instruments a guitar and a computer. In 2001 he starts the "Ok.Suitcase" project in which he has focused his major attention and developed his major works in sound art and max/msp programming. It's by the hand of Nuno Moita and "Stapletape" that he presented his sound work live for the first time, and since then he has been playing live with them.

At the same time he's the author of the electronic rhythms, synthesis and sound manipulation in the project "In Her Space" and he is playing live with the improv project "Last Time This Happened We Had a Street Party".

Keeping the improvisation concept in mind and always working in real-time he has worked in sound design for theatre with the "Inestética Theatre Company".

In video art he has been developing works for record labels, musical projects and for his own project “ok.suitcase”.

04 was recorded during March/June 2003 and gathers pieces for open spaces with intense sunlight, from beach shore sunny mornings with kids playing, water splash tricks and ice-cream sellers, to city walk-around, staring at traffic lights with cars striking horns, sunglasses on your head and roaring planes crossing skies.

Cáncer: Incoherence Textures
Jorge Cortés comes from Santiago de Chile, where he has been running the local label Ojo de Apolo. From 1997 to 2002 he worked as Cáncer - being now issued in this release - developing a crossing between intimate and pulsating sound, hand in hand with granular soundscapes. His work as Receptor, from 2002 onwards, is geared towards a more minimal click-house sound.
