Mateo Amaral is a multidisciplinary artist who develops his work using techniques such as drawing and painting, three-dimensional digital animation, distortion of video through software errors, exploration of audiovisual noise and production of electronic music.

His research leads him to experiment with hypnotic audiovisual landscapes, drawing parallels between primitive digital aesthetics and the individual construction of the reality model. All his work revolves around "Una piedra negra", an expanded feature film project that produces short films, paintings, installations, virtual reality pieces and live audiovisual performances.

In 2016, he was the winner of the first Virtual Reality award within the ITAU prize for visual arts. In addition to his individual work, he formed the artistic collective Oligatega with which in 2003 he was a scholar in the program of workshops dictated by Guillermo Kuitca and participated in the work clinics of Diana Aisemberg.

His work was exhibited at the Cultural Center of Belgrade (Serbia), Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, at the festivals ArtFutura, Mutek, Sonar, Robot and Trimarchi, at Artists' Television Access (San Francisco, USA), Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y León (Spain), Art Basel (Switzerland) and the Experimentation Center of the Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires).

"I stood here, and saw before me the unutterable, the unthinkable gulf that yawns profound between two worlds, the world of matter and the world of spirit; I saw the great empty deep stretch dim before me, and in that instant a bridge of light leapt from the earth to the unknown shore, and the abyss was spanned.”
– Arthur Machen

Merrie Melodias is back with a new series and new rubrics! And that means new digger discoveries are waiting for you from the bottomless catalogue of the Soviet major label Melodia. As is good tradition, we start with an episode about folk music. This episode features melodies from Central Asia, the Lesser Caucasus, the Baltic States, Africa and South America and other countries of the world.

This episode highlights the intersection of the sound of the world's three main musical instruments - the lute, the lyre and the reed pipe - with each country having its own modification and name. This is the story of how the sound of a Burundian funk band's electric guitar transforms into the trill of an Uzbek dutar, the sigh of an Azerbaijani zurna turns into the moan of an Armenian duduk, and the tinkling strings of a Paraguayan harp turn into the dreamy chords of a Madagascar valiha.

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.
