Audiopixel is Miguel Constantino, a 25 yearold sound engineer, he was assistant at the
CCMIX (Centre de Création Musicale Iannis
Xenakis) during summer 2004, now he's
currently working on making his own studio
and produced the records of the patriotic
Sunday, Stuntman5, This melodramatic
sauna, Argument, among others.
Audiopixel was born in 2002 with the aim to
find a new way to play (with a) guitar. A
simple plan : an electric guitar, a mixer, 2
sampler pedals, and a peculiar set up that
could enable him in sounding like a laptop
without using one.
Then came the time to blend melodies into
theses complex and chaotic structures, open
to random rythmes and silence.
Audiopixel is the expression of many musical
influences that seem opposed, sound
textures et song constructions inspired by
contemporary artists, obvious and fragile
pop melodies.

Memento Rumori is Audiopixel’s first album
and the achievement of 3 years of work, the
time necessary to obtain a definitive
equilibrium between sound research and the
melodies.
Even though a large space is left to
improvisation on stage, Memento Rumori is
to be considered as only one piece,
completely structured where each element
and sound is at its right place.
Different instruments and ideas have come
along while working with other musicians :
the outstanding Chinese voice, pianos,
violin, drums, tortured analog tapes and
field recordings .
The subjects treated here are all linked
with the way the sounds are used : memory,
time and silence.
Memento Rumori is complex puzzle of a
ballerina that wants to remember
everything from sounds to smiles, a journey
inside a man’s joys and fears that can appeal
to all of us.
