Gong! #3

Arnau wanted to try something totally analog, so he put together a series of abstract exercises based on optical distortion through the use of a vintage copy machine. For its execution and manipulation, Arnau decided to leave the use software such as Photoshop or Illustrator totally aside , using only manual and handcrafted techniques that could have been perfectly achieved decades ago. Letting mistakes, randomness and observation prevail, Arnau has achieved a unique series of images that take the viewer to organic and infinite mindscapes that bring back the flavor of psychedelic or lysergic tradition.
The interview included with this publication was conducted by John Talabot, musician, DJ and producer, but also the owner of Hivern record label and a personal friend of Arnau since they both met many years ago working together at Sinnamon, the extinct music label behind Barcelona’s Razzmatazz.
