DISTURBIO (NOETINGER, CASTELLO) Les Mauvaises Fréquentations
Born April 1966, in Marseille, Jérôme Noetinger discovered experimental music under the influence of the Déficit Des Années Antérieures in Caen. He is a composer/improviser/sound artist working with electroacoustic devices. Composing sometimes musique concrete in the studio, and performing improvised music using electroacoustic devices such as: the reel to reel tape recorder Revox B77 and magnetic tape, analogue synthesizers, mixing desks, speakers, microphones, various electronic household objects and home-made electronica. Performing both solo and in ensembles, and collaborating often, and touring extensively internationally. Jerome also used to be the director of Metamkine, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the distribution of improvised and electroacoustic music, which has now been changed to Corticalart with a different personnel. Angélica Castelló was born in Mexico City in 1972. She works as composer and sound artist. Her compositions concentrate on fragility, the dreamworld and the subconscious. Angelica performs continuously solo or in cooperations everywhere between Mexico City and Vienna. Numerous compositions for ensembles, radio works as well as installations that operate at the interface of music, performance and visual arts make up her body of work. She has several releases on labels like Interstellar records, Mikroton recordings or Monotype records. In February 2023, Disturbio cross France and Switzerland for a series of nine concerts expressing their highly cinematic art of sound. And to spice up the tour, they invite other musician friends to join them on certain dates: Aude Romary, cello, Antoine Läng, voice and jaw harp, Mathias Forge, cello and cassettes, Natacha Muslera, voice. Four personalities, four captivating performances. The duo Disturbio lives as a constellation of samples and loops, radios and field recordings, on cassettes and tapes, with magical, diaphanous voices hidden away, not forgetting the tremors of a flute on magnetic captures. Full tracklist: 1. Topos 2. Aude 3. Antoine 4. Chora 5. Natasha 6. Mathias 7. February 31. Price: € 19,-/copy incl. worldwide shipping.
Distrubio expressed its highly cinematic art of sound comprised of layered and nuanced puzzles of samples and loops, radios and field recordings, on cassettes and tapes, with magical, diaphanous voices hidden away and manipulated, and the tremors of a flute (the huge bass recorder Paetzold).

Les Mauvaises Fréquentations is more than an album, it is an experience that sits somewhere between music, memory, and the flickering of old film reels. By weaving in unexpected collaborators and using every possible quirk of analog equipment, Disturbio has crafted a collection that feels at once cinematic and elusive. This is music as archaeology, digging through the layers of forgotten voices and decaying sounds, emerging with fragments of something deeply human, yet mysterious. The result is a testament to the beauty found in imperfection - a work of echoes, glitches, and fragile memories, bound together by Noetinger and Castellós shared fascination with the fleeting and the ephemeral.
