INTIM ART / Locus Amoenus
*the Locus Amoenus;
Presented in the Bucolic Literature as the ideal place,
of tranquility … meditation
a beautiful forest or a place similar to an island in the Mediterranean …
libraries are ¨ places ¨ amoenus also,
The gardens that provide us a ¨switch off ¨ from the current rhymes,
how do you can get calmness?
the LOCUS AMOENUS arises from the vital needs, to « transgressor » in the middle of frivolous times where there is no silence for nowhere, nor space for individual intimacy … how and how we connect many of us; people and animals of this planet.
FLANTIBUS VENTIS , ECHO ADOR .

* LE SENS DU CIEL
* THE SENSE OF SKY
AMONG ALL THE PIECES REALISSED BY INTIM.ART
THIS ALBUM IS THE POETICAL ONE, IS A SORT OF MITOPOESIS SPEECH .
IT BRINGS TO A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, DEFINING THE RESEARCHED PATTERN FOR WRITE MY OWN MUSIC IN THIS DAYS WE LIVE OF GLOBALISSED INFLUENCES …
THE ART IS TIMELESS, EACH TIME WE LISTEN A WORK WE CAN DEJOY AN EMOTION THAT WAS ¨FROSED¨ IN THE TIME TO BE SHARED AMONG US .
THIS ALBUM IT HASN´T THE CONVENTIONAL NUMBER OF TRACKS AND TIME THAT THE INDUSTRY OF MUSIC IS DEMANDING TO BE SELLED AND COMERCIALISSED AS A PRODUCT .I JUST COMPOSSED THE WORKS WICH MY MUSIC IT NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTANDABLE.
THE BALANCE ; IT MEANS TO ME.
THE MUSIC PATTERNS OF 21 CENTURY ARE GOIN´ IN A DECADENCE IN FACT
I FEEL OUTSIDED ABOUT MY VISION OF COMUNICATE TROUGH UP THE ART OF MUSIC.
EVENTUALLY I HAVE USED THE ANCIENT PATTERNS OF MAKING MUSIC FOR MY OWN .

THE LEVER HARP ALSO IT HAS BEEN THE INSPIRATION THIS NEW WORK FOR INTIM.ART.
THE TITLES OF {EL SENTIT DEL CEL } THEY´RE DEDICATED TO FRIENDS, MASTERS, TO THE ISLAND OF MALLORCA AS A PARTICULAR ¨LOCUS AMOENUS ¨ TO LIVE AND WHERE TIME IT CAN BE DIFERENT, SLOW BUT ALSO WITH ALL THE CONTRAST THAT IN A MASSIFICATED WORLD WE LIVE. IT HAS TO INSPIRE TO PRESERVE AND SEE THAT WE NEED TO BE SENSIBLE WITH THE MATTER OF OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR BLUE PLANET.
ILLES GIMNESIES
In 2015 in mallorca island, i visited an ancestral spot of the seaside, where there´s a Necropolis wich was made and used by phonecians tribe and also natural caves near by . I starded to study the pre-history of the island where i belong ..
The blue sea and these facts are the album it felt inspired .
In the same moments I was doing my own first experience making a LIRE MITHOLOGIC (ancestral instrument from mediterranean sea lands) .
These are the elements of my enthusiasm on those days .
My curiosity to fancy how those societies could make a posible music which we never heard ; it seduce my fancy to create
a ¨sound ¨, a contemporary vision dedicated to those primitive ethnicities that remain sleeping in the echoes of time…
The album has the eastern flavours indeed, the emotion of mediterranean sensibility, rescuing primitive musical instruments
of balearic islands such as wind instruments, stringed ones and percussion among other textures .
I make a homage to few of malloca´s celebrities minds such as :
RAMON LLULL ( Mistic,writer..13 C )
ARCHIDUKE FROM AUSTRIA wich lived and preserved the TRAMUNTANA ecosystem and other cultural aspects…
JOAN MASCARO, witch translated the BHAGAVAD GITA from SANSKRIT TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE .
To my masters in general . My work has always a literary context indeed …
