OTO hosts a special screening of the debut film/album by Adam Matschulat's side project Glynmoog.
The project takes its name from the imaginary mountainous village that this project inhabits. It is the hometown of our main character Fay Moogi.
'Moon Story', the feature length fully animated film/album, is an instrumental synthwave tale which exists in an 8-bit universe; it draws aesthetic inspiration from Super Nintendo games from the 1990's - it inhabits the safety of this comforting nostalgia and in it, the project aims to open up a reflection on trauma, dreams and friendship.
screening starts at 21:00
Adam Matschulat is a Brazilian composer, sound designer and engineer. His diverse output of sound works have included electroacoustic composition, musique concrete, field recording, and structural noise music. He composes through the exploration of psychological states, rendering sonic experiences that are psychological investigations in and of themselves.
He has worked under a number of monikers, but his first EP under his own full name was released on Cafe OTO's TakuRoku label during lockdown. It was in part a collaboration with the duo @xcrsw (Seymour Wright and Crystobel Riley) and it was featured on Kate Carr’s Atmospheric Densities on Flaming Pines. He was awarded a residency at Snape Maltings through Britten Pears Arts (2023) and he has been commissioned by Edinburgh University to compose an electroacoustic piece for a project in collaboration with the science department in UAM (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) as part of a research on dark matter observation (2022/2023).
He also ran the label Resterecords, on which he released electroacoustic composer Rocío Cano Valiño, computer musician Ain Bailey, among others. As well as his own projects, which include Matschulat, a vehicle with which he explored a noisier palette within the formal structures of musique concrete. His sound work has had international radio play on radio shows including NTS, Resonance Extra, LYL Radio in Switzerland, FADE radio in Athens, and others.
