Pulshar
Europa Es Una Isla – Europa Ist Eine Insel

Album ES 2012 on AvantRoots label
Electronic (Ambient, Leftfield)

National Theater & Jetzt Musik Festival has been doing an amazing job at combining electronic music and other art forms as represented by the institutions in Mannheim. In March 2012 the deep sounds from the Spanish electro-dub duo Pulshar and readings of texts by contemporary authors created an imaginary map of migration routes from Africa to Spain and further on into the cities of Germany. An evening that deals with the other side of globalization, the Europe of borders and the darkness of the sea. The text was read in German and Spanish language. This release is the first edited material by Pulshar after the acclaimed “Inside” (Desolat, 2010). After more than a year playing live in several countries, they believed it was the right moment to publish new compositions that reflect a musical style which is usually underrated due to the dictatorship” of bpms and the current trends in electronic music. Pulshar has the capability of creating an atmosphere that defies both space and time, developing their more experimental and ambient side, allowing the audience to release their imagination and becoming a part of the full experience. It is emotional music, loaded with images, that interacts with the listener. Perhaps the term “program music” or “descriptive music” adjusts better to the album than “ambient music”, since it is a type of music composed especially for a series of texts that transport us to a specific place and characters. At the same time it is music that keeps it’s autonomy, it can be enjoyed without the plot or without being present in the theatre, given its evocative personality. Africa. The ocean. Europe. A goal which turns into a need, searching for a better but uncertain future. Risking the present life for a more hopeful one, even if it means starting from scratch. Reinventing oneself in a strange world, leaving everything familiar behind.
