|
Space Elements Vol. I "This is indeed 'free' music" (Vital) |
|
|
Space Solo 1 "His keen ear for the right amount of experimentation is what holds this disc together. It is both impressively listenable and mind-blowingly experimental." (Boomkat) |
|
|
Space Space is the Space Program's fundamental release, "an orchestral environment for electronic instruments". |
|
|
Harmonic Series 2 "It must be a heady thing to be capable of summoning such beauty. While I give Toral credit for taking the gutsy artistic path of putting his facility aside after he’s perfected it, I’m glad that he left this artifact of his explorations." (Dusted) |
|
|
Harmonic Series LP A raw version of Harmonic Series, on transparent blue vinyl (one side only). A piece with computer-generated sinewaves (modulated harmonics) and guitar. |
|
|

|
|
Early Works "Early Works predates the drone aesthetic of Sound Mind Sound Body, while its precision in ambient soundscapes is not far removed from that defining brilliant Violence of Discovery and Calm of Acceptance" (Dusted). |
|
|
Violence of Discovery and Calm of Acceptance "His finest recording" (Baltimore City Paper) |
|
|
Cyclorama Lift 3 "true to Toral's desire to show "the ghost in the machine" his music conveys real emotion and soul." (Fällt) |
|
|
Aeriola Frequency An empty loop constantly nourishing and digesting itself. |
|
|
Wave Field "this features Toral's trademark sound at its finest. Purely radiant and suitable for the ultimate imersion, this is an artifact of sonic genius." (Forced Exposure) |
|
|
Sound Mind Sound Body "Rafael Toral's debut declared to the world the advent of a brilliant and original musical talent, but the world hardly took note--who was paying attention to Portuguese avant-garde guitarists in 1994?" (Amazon) |
|
|
Electric Babyland Live This is a selection of 4 tracks taken from the 2002 European tour. These pieces were performed with a music box ("programmed" with perforated cardboard) and electronics. |
|
|
Liveloop Liveloop is the forerunner of Cyclorama Lift - an empty feedback loop with electronics in between - but it sounds way more agressive. Includes a full live set at Expo'98 and some other versions. |
|
|
AER Series The full collection of the "AER" pieces, most of them never heard before. These tracks display the warmth and magic of their original creation, in true analog sound. An absolute "must-have" if you enjoy Sound Mind Sound Body! |
