Writer’s Block? Read this
This week I’d like to lay out some tips on getting past writer’s block in all of its ugly forms whether it be apathy, procrastination, or just a frustrating lack of inspiration. Staring at a blank sequencer timeline is one of the more miserable studio activities that I can think of, so let’s take a [...]
Sculpting your sound
Hi people I woke this morning (yesterday now), and immediately thought “write next blog article”. So I log in to wordpress and….Nick beat me to it , however, his great post here once again works well with my topic, which is kind of a keep things tidy subject too. Without a doubt, the most common [...]
Keep Your Composition Moving Forward
Have you ever run into overcomplexity while arranging your latest piece of music? It happens to me all the time. It’s that phase of composition where you’ve got all kinds of automation going on, sweeping a filter here and increasing an effect trail there. In addition to automation data, you may have a dizzying array [...]
PS010 Update
_______________________________________________________________________________________ [PS010] VA – “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” is almost ready. On the image above you can see an example of how the book is going to look like. Fernando Mateus has been working night and day on this, in between his daily work, and there are no words to thank him for the [...]
Learning to “read” the curve
Hi readers, welcome to my new weekly Audio article. Just to warn….I have been described as the “Victor Meldrew of the mastering world“(Thanks Mr James ), and I can see how it might read that way. Sure….I have a total intolerance for production & mastering blunders, but I’m pretty chilled in the real world. My [...]
Ceci n’est pas une pipe
The wait is (almost) over. Today we have the privilege of presenting you the final Art for the PS010 compilation, it’s name and the artists that will be featured on this edition that celebrates our past but, and more importantly, our future. “Ceci n’est pas un pipe” will include 18 tracks by 18 different artists [...]
Pure Tone @ The Lab
Good news never come alone. For us, apparently they come hand in hand. After announcing a weekly column here at PublicSpacesLab we thrilled to announce that we will have yet another contribution, this time from Tony a.k.a. Pure-Tone. This, for us, was only a logical step and a way of recognising the wonderful human being [...]
Nick Maxwell @ The Lab
It took no more than a few exchanges via e-mail to accomplish this but, we see it as a big step. Nick Maxwell, the person behind Nick’s Tutorials, accepted to write a weekly column for us, here at the PublicSpaces Lab website. Nick Maxwell’s tutorials have always been a great resource for everyone that is [...]
[PSFR002] QuarterBit – The Antarctica Files
If there were any doubts that music has a temperature, or the potential to induce the listener to perceive its temperature, listening to the tracks of the “Antarctica Files” clears those doubts and lets the cold chilled wind enter your own space, no matter where you are.
[PS009] Swaying Smoke – Hidden Beneath…
“Hidden Beneath the Soil” is a journey into a universe made of intricate textures, sensations and feelings translated into this beautiful 7 pieces of experimental electronica.
[PS008] ambienteer – Compilations 1 to 4
Made up of 4 volumes, this release is the result of what ambienteer describes as “an abstract audio diary“.
[PS007] No One – Hush
Between sleep deprivation and other kind of insonmia, the nightlife entity known as “No One”, offers us his debut album “Hush”, a voiceless music that is charged with images, inspired by the climate in a big city and, the sensation of being no one among the crowd.
[PS006] Esfera – Fedora
Right after his debut album in 2008, Esfera returns with a release that is totally focused onto the most experimental side of electronic music.
[PS005] Heliofante – Voyageur Heliophantique
We don’t know who Heliofante is. What we do know is that this release talks about a dream. It is a dream about an elephant that dreams it can fly and describes how it feels during this, more than hour long, release.
[PS004] QuarterBit – Kyoto Series
Experiments with faulty hardware, reversed field recordings, hacked VSTs are on the technical list of many of the tracks that are resting somewhere in a disk drive waiting to see the light of day.
[PS003] Various Artists – ReDrops
“Sundrops on the Ocean”, included on Torsion’s “Raindrops” (catalogue reference nr. [PS001]) gets remixed by artists from all over the world and from different electronic music genres.
[PS002] Katsumoto – bASE sAGITTAL cORONAL
There is not really a genre that can define the style of the tracks produced by Katsumoto since there is no genre, just a lot of imagination and a playful approach to every track, fusing what is not there to fuse, or so they say.
[PS001] Torsion – Raindrops
“This world… this universe is more vast and significant than anything we do at our jobs, in our pursuits of wealth, and in our zest for personal superiority above others. All of this is meaningless beyond
our own horizons.”
[PS000] Torsion – Collected Items
“Collected Items” is the fruit of this on-going collaboration between the two. With Alex’s propensity for broken beats and Fernando’s passion for smooth ambiences and glitch inserts, the resulting tracks take us into a journey to unknown places wide and open.

Mon amour, l’aventure commence…
A public space refers to an area or place that is open and accessible to all citizens, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age or socio-economic level. This is the beginning of a new journey for us. As artists that had their works published, by people kind enough to appreciate our music, we know better than [...]
